For those that like fall of the rib and want to cheat a little or are in a hurrry (BBQ Flame Suit Activated) you could boil them.
What I do sometimes is season the water a lot with things like liquid smoke, hot sauces, worcheshire, various dry seasons, pretty much whatever. I like to think of it as kind of a bbq crab boil. Then some white vinegar as well if you like (helps them break down).
Boil them for a few hours or till desired fall of bone-ed-ness. Pull them. Let them cool slightly. Add some dry rub of your liking. Add some of your favorite BBQ and throw them on the grill.
Baste often. You just want to grill long enough to get that carmelized bbq goodness going.
Purists hate it, but if you're a shitty cook you can't go wrong with this method.
