What is the best way to cook Pork Ribs (on a grill)?

Bone in or Country style (boneless)?

Country style:

-Soak in Worshtishire sauce, soy sauce, water, and some oil (olive or canola works well) for about twenty minutes. Longer=better.
-Season with salt, pepper, garlic. Other things you could use optionally: cayanne pepper or chili powder, paprika (makes it nice and golden brown when cooking, not much flavor though), ground mustard, onion powder, Lawry's Seasoned Salt
-Cook over medium coals about 10-15 minutes on each side. (Juice should run clear)
-Put your favorite BBQ sauce in a bowl and dunk the ribs in the sauce, then grill for another 5 minutes on each side.

Bone in:

- Season raw ribs as describes above (soaking in not needed). Parboil ribs in 350 degree oven with 1/2 cup water for 25-30 minutes.
- Grill for 10-15 minutes on each side. These ribs will cook faster due to the bones.
- Use a brush to coat with sauce . Cover one side and let it thicken on the ribs, then flip it over and do the other side.
- I like to coat it about 3-4 times over low coals. Some perfectionists will do this for up to an hour (I'm not that patient ).

Grill these with fresh corn still in the husk (soak in water before grilling) and a baked potato. MMmmmmmmmm...good.

Actually soaking the ribs in brine will allow them to retain the most moisture. Soak for 1-2 hours.
Coating with a dry rub will also do well to season the ribs without overpowering with other flavors.

They're essentially boneless....you might have a very small piece of bone in a few of them. By boneless, I meant the actual rib bone is not attached to the meat.

I like boiling them for a few hours before i put them on the grill, the grill just gives them flavor

Yeah...some people do that, but I think that just makes them taste like ribs from the crock pot. Everyone has their own way

The most important part is to make sure they get cooked thoroughly, hence the fanciful pre-grilling cooking mentioned by others.
