Set up your grill for indirect cooking with charcoal, and hickory wood.
Cook ribs at 225 to 250 for 8 - 12 hours.
If you like your ribs wet, add 1 bottle of real maple syrup (not that shit for pancakes) to your favorite store bought or homemade bbq sauce, and start mopping the ribs 1 hour before taking of the grill.
You can thank me later.

Sounds good
Now, I'm a good cook, but not that experienced BBQing, heck, I'm British, we only get 3 days a year where we CAN BBQ. I've got a weber charcoal grill. If I put the coals in half the bottom, lit them, and put the ribs on the other half (which is what I think indirect cooking is) there is no way it would cook for 12 hours.
So what do you do?
Also, regarding boiling, I was reading this:
"Many older rib recipes call for the racks to be gently simmered in hot water before roasting, presumably in order to relax the tough connective tissue which holds them together. However, posters on online food forum chowhound.com are indignant at the idea, protesting that "parboiling any meat is a crime against humanity" and suggesting that such a step might make a tasty "pork broth", but does nothing for the flavour of the ribs themselves.
The new cookbook from renowned Yorkshire butchers, the Ginger Pig, however (worth buying for the sausage roll recipe alone) boldly flies the face of such naysayers, with a recipe which calls for a half-hour pre-simmer before the racks are marinated and baked. The resulting liquid is porky smelling enough for me to doubt the wisdom of this approach, even before I taste the finished article, which is distinctly tougher than any other recipe I try ? perhaps it would work better with meatier spare ribs."

And it just made me wonder what the Americans do...
But you sound as if you know what you're doing, so I promise I won't boil them!
Thanks for the help
