Not trying to rain on anyone's parade and probably spouting heresy but what's the difference between cooking the ribs on a gas bar-b-que with a pan of water for steam , and doing them in oven (with or without water or covered in tinfoil ) and then either finishing them on a dry heat in the oven or back on the barbie ...
I do get the stand out the back in the sun all day can in hand thing ....

The difference is that on a gas BBQ fat and other liquids drip down onto the hot coals and smoke and burn giving you a "BBQ flavour". Not quite the same as with charcoal or wood but quite different to doing it in an oven too.

Yeah .. I get the concept of a barbecue,not being living under a rock all my life,but if yr putting a pan of water over the burner and putting yr piece of meat away from the burner yr effectively making a gas oven and adding steam...
