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.
Cook them for 1.5 to 2 hours, with the meatiest portion downward. Turn the ribs occasionally. If you are using a gas grill, you can ignite one side of the grill and leave the other to cook the ribs. Place the ribs on the side that is not ignited. Grill the ribs for 30 to 45 minutes on each side. If your ribs are too large to cook indirectly on either a charcoal or gas grill, wrap them in heavy duty aluminum foil. Place them on the grill over direct heat for 30 minutes on each side for a gas grill and 30 to 45 minutes each side for a charcoal grill.
