GRILLED ST. LOUIS-STYLE RIBS

This method allows the ribs are virtually cooked when coming out of the oven but the grilling gives that tell tale flavoring to finish them off without drying them out or blackening them. One rack of ribs feeds 3-4. Multiple racks of ribs can be cooked at a time using the same method.
