My favorite method, learned from Alton Brown, is to dry-rub the ribs 24 hrs ahead of time, and encase them in heavy foil. The day of cooking, a mixture of sweet and savory liquids is mixed up (I use honey and beer, Alton used some other stuff) and poured into the foil packets with the meat. Then you put 'em in the oven at 200-225 for ~6 hours, and then finish under a broiler. I can do that over a weekend at my home, but not going to all that fuss while camping... I got better things to do. :)
edit: oh, the cooking liquid can be reduced down for a great sauce, if you have the patience
This a pretty good description of doing ribs in the smoker. In fact except for the part where you start with them wrapped, I wrap at about the 3 hour mark, it's almost identical.
