Preheat grill to medium indirect heat, 375 to 400 degrees F (190 to 200 degrees C).
-
Center one portion ribs on a 12x18-inch sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil; add 2 ice cubes. Bring up the foil sides, then double-fold the top and ends to seal the packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Repeat to make 3 more packets.
