Suggestions on reheating ribs?  I usually throw them in the oven, but last time, it seemed to dry them out a bit.  Maybe it was too hot or too long?  Should I wrap in foil?  What works for you?
 
Wrap in foil with some moisture at 145'. Should hold good.
 
I vacum seal whole racks and then reheat in the bag in a pan of simmering water.

 or you can get a broiler pan w/ rack and steam the ribs. DO NOT cover when steaming as it will make the ribs soft.
 
I reheat almost everything in the oven except BBQ.  I generally hate the microwave but it works well for BBQ because of moisture.  I've done brisket in foil with a little apple juice in the oven and it was OK.

Now I never re-heat in the oven and now I re-heat using a pasta pot/ steamer pot. I just boil water and give them a few minutess to heat up. To me it seems to keep the meat moist and it brings out smokey flavor a little bit more to Me
 
I usually wrap in foil and reheat in low oven.

I've also nuked them with good results.  Just make sure you wrap them in damp towels or something. 
 
I usually foil and put in a 225-250 degree oven for 30 minutes give or take. You can also microwave on MEDIUM, never use HIGH unless you're heating tea water or cooking popcorn.
 
I use a chafing dish for bulk

But will heat wrapped in foil in the oven for a few ribs, NEVER the microwave, my wife will eat them cold.
