Spare ribs indoors

Here's the deal... I just bought two great looking racks of pork spare ribs but I now live in an apartment. I've never cooked ribs on anything, but a grill or smoker so I need some help. I've always done a rub the night before cooking and I plan to do that tonight, but I need to know where to go from there.
 
Oven Smoked Spare Ribs

1. Remove the membrane from the back of the spare ribs.
2. Apply your favorite dry rub to both sides.
3. Wrap in plastic or cover in pan and let sit in fridge overnight.
4. Remove from fridge and lay the rib slabs on the oven shelves.
5. Pile some hardwood chips on the bottom of your oven.
6. Set oven temp to 225 degrees and leave the door slightly ajar.
7. Remove the battery from your smoke detector.
8. Open up all your windows.
9. If you have any pets, take them on a long walk.
10. Spritz at 3 hours unless the firemen have already done so.
11. Remove from oven when internal temperature reaches 160.
 
I yield to no one in my love for smoked spareribs, but they can be done other ways.

An Italian version has me cutting the ribs into singles, then browning them in peanut oil. Then add 2 or 3 very thinly sliced cloves of garlic and a Tablespoon of dried sage leaves. When the garlic starts to brown add a cup of dry white, Frascati or Pinot Grigio. Throw on some salt and several grinds of black pepper.

Cover and cook this for 40 minutes, stirring from time to time. Take the ribs out, keep warm, and add a cup of water (or more wine); some would drain off some of the fat, but not me. Reduce this way down.

Put some cooked rice on a big platter, and pile the ribs on top. Pour the sauce mixture on top of the ribs and rice. Take two Lipitors. It is not bad at all.
 
Too bad. I have baked ribs and finshed them off on the grill, throw few wood chips on the grill for some smoke. Its better than nothing...SuckleBuster
