How to keep ribs warm

I'm making bbq ribs for my boys tomorrow and all of them won't fit in the grill at the same time. How should I keep them warm (while not drying them out) so that the first batch is not cold when I finish cooking the second one? The grill is a Weber gas grill and I have an oven in case that matters.

200F oven, covered.

Set the oven to like 225 and cover them with foil. Spritz them with some apple juice too or something would be a good idea as well.

Are these pork ribs? Cooked quickly on a gas grill seems like they will come out tough

They've been boiled to the point where the meat barely stays on, the grill Is just to finish em

Boiling ribs is for people who don't know how to cook ribs.

Thank god.

elitist opinion

No, it's just knowing how to cook something properly.

go eat some truffles or some shit

I'd rather have some ribs that were cooked by someone who knew what they were doing.

Remember, if you boil ribs, the terrorists win.

Wait... You boiled them? Where did you get that idea?

I made ribs yesterday. After they were done, I wrapped them in foil and set them to the side while I finished everything else. They stayed hot for an amazingly long time. Even after the meal, the un-eaten ribs were still steaming when I opened them up.

Get a smoker and smoke them instead

Don't even need a smoker. Smoke packages on a grill with indirect heat.

Hell, even baking them low-and-slow in the oven is better than boiling them.

I know, right? I don't make pulled pork by boiling it, why would you cook ribs that way.

Also, what other protein would you ever boil? None, because this is a bad habit passed down by home cooks who are clueless

Do a "Faux Cambro" a la Meathead -- get a cooler, heat it with hot water, put in an aluminum pan, wrap the ribs in tinfoil, and put them in. Never tried it but apparently it keeps them warm for several hours. With the lid on, of course :)

They got these racks that stand the ribs up the long way, can put at least 2-3 times as many ribs on a grill at once

Edit: tried to link a pic but imgur doesn't want to work for me just google rib rack

For real dude, pls don't boil them. I used to do that too before I knew any better and it's definetly not ideal.

You can keep them warm in the oven on low covered like others have mentioned. I'd seriously consider making them in the oven if they won't fit on your grill
