Tomorrow is my husband's birthday, and I have roughly 4 pounds of ribs that I want to do. Right now, they're sitting wrapped up tightly, after I slathered them in a rub that he picked up in Vegas (Magic Dust?). I tried that dust stuff on a pork roast that I did in the slow cooker last week (pulled pork), and it was amazing.

Anyway, I typically do ribs in a slow cooker but I'm somewhat loathe to do them that way this time. I've never done them on a BBQ before and I don't know that I have enough time or patience to try them that way for the first time tomorrow. I have several appointments so I can't stand around and watch the grill.

I could cook them low and slow in the oven, yes? I have done a little reading around the 'net and there's quite a variance. Some say wrap them in foil, others don't. Some say do at 350* for about 15-30 minutes then turn down to 200* and cook for at least 5-6 hours. Does that sound about right? We will eat around 6, and I need to be able to leave the house for about an hour, just before 2, to take the kid to the doctor and run pick up some BBQ sauce.

Any advice? I don't want to ruin these.
