Do you prefer St. Louis-style ribs or baby backs? Happy 4th!


Personally I love both, but I’ve attached a breakdown here + a recipe for babybacks with a July 4th themed sauce in the comments below

I posted no wrap the other day, here I’m showing more traditionally cooked varieties I’ve made recently less

    I’ve gone back and forth, right now I’m on a baby back kick. I finally made the switch to no wrap and I think that’s how I’m going to stick with that going forward

    I don’t think I trim spare ribs correctly cause they always have this grisl stuff in them after I smoke them.

    St. Louis every time. I don’t know why people say baby back has more meat. St. Louis is both more tender and more meaty (if not overly trimmed).

    Either or. Probably give the edge to the St Louis style. Pretty much boils down what’s on sale. Costco had St Louis style last weekend. Package of three Swift ribs at $3.49 per pound. So that is what I got for today

    I currently have 3 racks of spare ribs smoking, along with a pot a baked beans. Everyone is bringing “salad”…

    St Louis preferred but won’t turn down baby backs.

    Baby backs if feeding like 2-3 people….spares for larger groups.
