Yes, foil is good. Make a steaming pocket out of foil for them and add beer and onions. Steam them on the grill for 45 minutes to an hour. After steaming remove from foil, baste with bbq sauce and grill for 5 minutes or so to brown.
BBQ Pork Ribs
1/2 cup new mexico chile powder (not chili powder)
2 tablespoons black pepper
2 tablespoons celery salt
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon coriander powder
4 lbs pork baby back ribs or pork spareribs
1. Mix rub ingredients together and apply rub to ribs. Refrigerate in a plastic bag for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Cook ribs in 200 degree oven wrapped in 2 layers of foil for 3 to 4 hrs or until tender (can be done a day ahead to this point).
3. Grill about 5 to 7 minutes per side.
The reason why your ribs are turning out tough is because you are probably cooking them too fast over a direct heat source. The meat typically served at bbq restaruants are typically not "good" meats - not like fillet mignon. They are naturally tough and must be cooked at a low temperature for a long period of time to make them tender - something to do with how the fat matobolizes (I don't know the science). This is the secret to tender bbq - low and slow. If you have a crock pot, you could toss them in there in the morning, pull them out several hours later, cover them in a rub (seasoning), then toss them on the grill (with the charcoal/wood on one side of the grill and the meat on the other) for a little while (30min to 1hr) to give them that "smoked" flavor. You can buy a rub at any supermarket. If they don't have one specically for bbq, a good steak seasoning will work. I think this would be the easiest. Of course, for the purest, the only way to truly cook ribs is to smoke them over low, indirect heat with wood for several hours, but now you're getting into a realm of bbq enthusiasts who spend their lives perfecting their techniques - I'm one of them. I know I really didn't give you a recipe, but I hope this will point you in the right direction. Just remember - low and slow - oh yeah, if you get a recipe, stay away from the one's that are too fancy. BBQ is a poor man's way of cooking. Be basic. If all else, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika. And buy a good BBQ sauce. Please stay away from Kraft or other mass market sauces. I'm sure you're local supermarket has at least a couple sauces from "independent" providers. Have fun!!!
I found that wrapping them in foil and baking them for about 3 hours, then grilling them for 10 minutes makes them excellent.
Whatever way you choose, to slow-cook, I suggest wrapping in foil and cooking either in the oven or on the grill. The boiling technique sounds like it would wash out some of the juices.
1. Dry them
2. Salt and let rest for 45 min at room temp.
3. Dry them again
I like to start my pork in the oven and finish on the grill (I do the opposite for beef). Since you don't want to, or can't, use the oven, I suggest cooking at a lower temperature.
I do not agree with the foil method, but BBQ procedures can be argued for days. I do not believe in this because the moisture from the meat itself and/ or the sauce will steam the meat and tighten the proteins. This is why the dry/ salt/ dry is so important. If you take this step before any above (or below) preparation, you will succeed in comparative quality. Go with your heart, but dry your meat! Good luck!
