i've never cooked ribs myself for fear of ruining a semi-expensive meal, but after watching it this morning, i may try.

re: looks faster than smoking
Faster does not equal better.

Smoking is always better. Low and slow. Keep the temp around 230-250, with indirect heat. You can finish them over some heat and low flame to caramelize the sauce onto the ribs. The best advice comes next...when they are done, take them off and wrap them in foil for at least 30 mins. The meat has to have time to relax.

I've produced decent quick ribs on the grill, but they are never as good as doing them in a smoker and taking the time.

When in doubt, start with baby backs and work your way up to spare ribs. baby backs are much more forgiving.
