OK--so I'll throw a monkey wrench in this entire post! My 99 yr old father in law LOVES ribs, and the only day we can pry him out of his own house is to feed him Sunday dinner--more often ribs than not. Because of church (9:00) A.M, our time is limited. I rub the ribs the night before, wrap in plastic wrap, THEN, on Sunday morning they are put in the oven before we leave (about 8:30), roasting pan covered tightly in foil at 275. When we get home, about 10:30, I go out, start the fire in my trusty CB940x, then when coals are ready, move them to the grill, uncovered, of course. Add hickory chunks to the fire, which is pretty slow still, spritz them with apple cider a few times. They form a good bark and he sits there and eats them like they were chocolate candy! I know, somewhat out of the ordinary, but keeps him quite happy, and I have to say they aren't all that bad myself. Prefer smoked all the way through, or the 3-2-1 method, but these are good.
