Info: Spareribs are what is left after you remove the bacon.

Spareribs are whats left when you remove the bacon from the bottom of the ribs. Spareribs have more meat and are jucier that there cousins the baby back ribs.

Boil or Not to Boil?

There is good and bad about pre-cooking spareribs in water but lets not forget the science! Ribs or meat of any kind should not be boiled but cooked at a temp below boiling.
• Good: Spareribs being a fatty meat, lots of cooks will prefer to parboil them a short while to release the fat and to tenderize them. Parboiling will all so shortent the time needed on the grill.
• Bad: Boiling will release the fat but also removes a lot of the natural flavor of the spareribs.

Even though spareribs are generally basted with a sauce, they can still tend to be dry. The Low and Slow methed of cooking can both tenderize and remove the fat while keeping the flavor and moisture in the meat.

I personally do not par-boil, if im going to spend the money to have ribs then im going to make the most of them.
