I might get roasted for this (pun intended), but the best way I've done ribs is a BBQ/oven combo. This is how I approach them:

1) 1 hour salt and sugar brine. Pat dry and apply rub if desired
2) 2 hours on BBQ at 300F with wood chips/chunks
3) 1.5 hours in oven at 350F tightly wrapped in foil (put on BBQ sauce before foil if desired)
4) 30 minutes rest on counter with foil partly unwrapped to let out steam

I too thought that any time in the oven was just wrong and ruined the idea of BBQ ribs, but after I tried it this way I was hooked. The BBQ smoky flavour comes through great and the final cook in the oven ensures the right final temp is reached. I found that always to be difficult on the BBQ.
