For those who have minimal equipment, like a small Weber grill, and not a lot of time..here's a shortcut that can produce reasonably tasting ribs..
Parboil the ribs on the stove in a pot of water that's just starting to simmer. Do so for about 10 minutes..Drain, pat dry, then apply sauce and toss on the grill about anothe5 4-5 minutes per side..
Boil? Ribs? I slow cook them in the oven then put em on the charcoal grill for about 30 mins.
I keep forgetting to do this but I saw on show where removing the rind from the back of the ribs works better, even if you’re not using a rub. Here’s a quick how to;

I do something similar. Instead I put the cut up ribs in a baking pan, put on my sauce, throw on some chopped green and red pepper; some onion slices, a minced clove of garlic; and cover with foil. I put this in a 350 degree oven for a half an hour. This will bake out most of the grease and leave at the bottom of the pan a most delectable base which will go into a sauce pan for reduction over medium heat.
After reducing the pan drippings and, if necessary, adding more BBQ sauce, I put the ribs on a low heat with Alder branch clippings on the heat plate. I then slather the ribs with the prepared sauce and let them get dark on the bottom before turning them. I will turn them a few time, with additional applications of sauce until they are tender. The grease that is still in the sauce adds flavor to the ribs.
