Fill a stock pot 1/2 full with hot water.

Meanwhile, cut each rack of ribs into sections after every third bone. Cut each section of three 1/2 inch in between every bone, on each side. This will keep the ribs from curling.

Place ribs in water and cover, allowing a small steam vent with the lid. Once the ribs are in the water and water has reached a rapid boil, reduce heat and par-boil for 40 minutes. While ribs are cooking, cover a counter top with aluminum foil.

Remove ribs from water and place on a counter lined with aluminum foil. Allow to cool slightly.

Baste all ribs thickly with favorite BBQ sauce on all sides. Store in frig until ready to grill.

Place ribs on covered grill over low-medium heat. Baste and turn frequently. Because ribs are fully cooked, you want to just heat them through and carmalize the BBQ sauce. Careful! Don''t forget them!

Serve hot!

Notes from Laura:

If you don't have an extra large pot, or your cooking for a crowd, just cook in batches the day before & refrigerate after you have basted with BBQ sauce. Bring to room temperature and baste again before putting on the grill.
