How to caramelize sauce on ribs?

[zzzippper]

Took a trip to Memphis this weekend.  The best ribs were at Pig on Beale St.  One of their highlights was a sweet caramelized sauce on the ribs.  I think this is best done after smoking and then moving to the oven with sauce.  Should caramelization be done low and slow or hot and fast?  Times and temps for preferred method?  Thanks

Not into sweet meat myself, but I would guess hot and fast, like broil or on a grill.

If I want some sweet ribs, I throw them on the BBQ with sauce,(after smoking and cooking) hot and fast to carmelize.

I've used the grill and I've used the broiler.

I prefer the broiler.

I'm with FLB on that one. the broil in the oven is less likely to burn a sweet sauce, but do not wander off cause it happens pretty fast!

I'm with the rest of the gang.

Hot and fast and dont turn your back it hapens fast.

Low and slow and I always do it on the grill.  I put it on the lowest setting I can get (yes ... it's gas) and put them on the side opposite the burners (indirect heat).  Put on a layer of sauce, close the lid and don't wander too far :)  I personally like two coats.  yum, yum, yum.
