I've tried several methods because I really like them. But incorrectly
cooked, they will be tough and dry. My mom used to pre-cook them in the
oven then finish on the grill. I can't remember if she actually braised
them or just dry cooked them, but they turned out well. I've tried the
crockpot method and finish on the grill but they were horribly dried out.

Oh! This cut needs saucing in the crockpot. Unless it's a fattier cut
version. They lack the fat cap to make it work in a crockpot all alone.

You can do a loo'ing sauce with them on the stove and that works well
for the leaner types.
