One advantage boiling has over straight grilling is cooking time. With a 45-minute to one-hour boil first, the spareribs will tenderize in the boil and need only go onto the grill to sear and caramelize on their exterior-- a process that only takes about 10 to 15 minutes, per side, over a medium-hot grill.
It's possible to slow-cook the ribs from start to finish on your grill, using indirect heat. Preheat your gas grill to 250 degrees F, with flame on only one side of the grill. If you use charcoal, set all the coals on one side of the kettle. Place the ribs on the other side of the grill. To make lots of ribs at one time, buy a rack that holds them vertically. Close the lid and slow-cook the ribs until fork-tender, usually for three to four hours.
