Usually, I start with pork ribs from Aldi. They are not labeled "Baby Back" but I think they compare well.
Problem is Aldi runs out regularily of ribs. When I see them, I buy them out, don't care how many are there as long as they meet the criteria of well filled out with meat but not having the big slab of meat on top that crushes the proper cook.
Ok, starter done. Take these ribs at room temp and salt lightly and leave alone for 30 min or more. Short brine if you will.
Depending on oven size, I use my convection smaller oven so I need to cut the rack in half to fit in the smaller space.
Convection rules!! Such an even cook.
Here's the key, season, wrap in tin foil, put in a 275 oven for 1.75 to 2.5 hr. I give a range because ovens are different.
What you're looking for is the ribs coming out of the oven are starting to pull back on the bones but not all the way. Let the grill finish that. This little piece of awsomeness is nice because the ribs are cooked but not seared and have steeped in their own spiced juices for the oven time.
Fire the grill!! Let the ribs rest in the foil.
When coals are hot, unwrap the ribs and put them on the grill. If you have an audience unwrap the racks over the grill for a real nice showy flare up from the liquids inside the foil
Ya, I'm a whore 
So now you're on the clock, the ribs need about 10 min a side to sear and carmelize the sauce before they become overdone.
Move with a purpose.
Not much time 
Sauce carmelized, ribs be done! Depending on how you cook on the grill will determine fall off the bone or you need to pull the meat off the bone. It's a learning process.
Best of luck all and enjoy!!
Yup, tmaan said dat!
