I buy the large slab of pork ribs and first, drink a beer; next dry the slab and drink a beer; next rub down with the seasoning and drink a beer; fire up grill (gas) and drink a beer; turn off all but one burner (on low) and slap the slab ( funny thing there) on the grill and drink beer; turn over about a hour later (slab not me) and cook for about 2 1/2 hours per side; drink beer. Last hour baste with bar-b-q sauce each side; drink beer. After about five hours of cooking, who wants to eat? Oh by the way, I mix up 1/2 and 1/2 Sweet Baby Rays Honey sauce and chapolte'(?) heat up some Bush'es Grilling Beans and some 'tater salad and have at it.

I always pre-cook my ribs (back ribs) in the pressure cooker. Then I either freeze some or all, or put them on the grill for the "saucing" and re-heating. You can make them way ahead of time and not be so hectic at the dinner hour.
I also take along pre-cooked, frozen ribs for camping. Takes a couple of days to thaw in the fridge and voila, a no-mess, delicious meal.
These ribs are always fall-off-the-bone tender. My pressure cooker can hold 1 of those heavy-duty, vacuum sealed packs from Sam's.

I never pre-cook my ribs. Instead, I season them well and place them on my Weber gas grill (on the lowest setting) for about 1.25 hours. I keep the ribs bone side down and the Weber cover down.
After about 60 minutes I liberally brush on my favorite sauce. Then, let the ribs cook for another 15-20 minutes.
They are always tender and delicious.
I keep a 5 gallon propane tank attached to my grill when cooking (it does double duty as I use it with an Extend-A-Stay kit to bypass my on-board tank.) I figure I burn about a quart of propane to cook ribs.

Like you Ladymc, I usually pre-cook my baby back ribs in the oven (never boil them) before grilling and they turn out prefect. You are right, it would heat up your RV.
I have on occasion grilled my ribs to brown and sear. It also gives them a little smoky flavor and then I put them in the crock pot on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 hours. They turn out pretty good this way too!
Good luck and let us know how you fixed yours and how they turned out

I just put them in a pan and steam them for a few minutes. That way they're cooked, but not falling off the bone, making it easier to put on the grill.

I use the crock pot. About 1/2" of water and a good amount of BBQ sauce in the bottom. Season the ribs and put them in the cp. I cook on low about 7 hours. They come out fantastic.
I do baste the ribs every couple of hours and will leave the lid off towards the end if the sauce is too runny, basting, of course.

I alway par boil ribs on top of the stove before I put them on my outside grill. I think a crock Pot wound make them too tender to handle. They would be falling off the bone.
God Bless!

Last time my two kids and their partners were with us we trimmed and cut up about five pounds of ribs and put them into the "Lodge" 6 quart dutch oven in special sauce. Lit up the briquets first, and when the 'fire' stopped and the coals started, on they went. Kids arrived and we had a feast. They could have been finished on the bbq if required, but they were just delicious as they were.

WHAT I ENDED UP DOING:
We have 2 grills - 1 cheapo from Walmart for $20 with a deep lid. I took the bun warmer rack out and my cake pan full of ribs fit under there perfectly. I just used it as an oven and an hr. and a half later they were perfect! I took them off, put the BBQ sauce on and slapped them on the grill about 5 mins. or so per side. PERFECTO! I also put my scalloped potatoes in a corning ware dish and put them on the grill (covered with tin foil) and they were done in about 25 mins., just like the regular oven.
Only thing I need to do is get 2 bricks to raise it up off the fire a bit - potatoes burned some on the bottom. The water around the ribs carmelized (with the juices of the ribs), which was great!
