Default To cheat or not to cheat

As you know from my earlier posts, I'm having trouble getting ribs
right. The ribs I can get my hands on have hardly any meat on the ribs
or come from the shoulder area which most Dutch people think are to
fat (we use them for soup). Smoking the thin ribs for a long period
makes them turn out dry.

I know boiling ribs before smoking is not an option. You lose taste
and we are smoking, not making soup. But did any of you ever try
steaming the ribs? It would sure keep them moist, and hopefully the
will keep their taste because they are not soaking in the water

Although I prefer smoking / BBQing the traditional way, I’m almost out
of options now, its this or buying a whole pig so I can cut it up any
way I like it ;-)

Hope you can help me out
