Meatiest Spares I've Seen

I got a package of spares from Sams that contained 3 slabs of the meatiest ribs I've seen. I had to fold some of the end meat over onto itself to make the ribs fit on the LBGE. I saw a post recently in which someone here trimmed their spares. I didn't read in detail but what is the benefit of trimming? How is the trimmed meat usually prepared?
Also, I came across a site a while back that sold the custom handles. Can someone point me back to that site? I meant to bookmark it but failed.
A detailed write-up on these ribs is here.
I rubbed a slab with DP Raging River, one with Grillmates applewood rub, and one with a combo of the two. I stuffed the meaty ribs into the inverted v-rack without doing any trimming and cooked using the 3-1-1 method.
The left-overs re-heated a few days later.

The only benefit to trimming is really just a prettier presentation. When feeding family and friends, I dont see a reason to trimming.
They look great! Costco has some good ribs too I have found. -
BTW are you a tech guy? Live in GA?

Those look great for spares I usually go 3-2-1

The custom handles you're looking for may be found on http://www.lawnrangerbbq.comBJ (Powhatan, VA)

Did the label include any info on 'additives'? Smithfield, Hormel, and others use injectants to lengthen shelf life and flavor their products. Be aware and read the ingredients labels!!

Perfect, thanks for the link!

I am usually a pretty good label checker but I think I missed this package of ribs. I will check them out next time I am at Sams. thanks

Cool. I am in Roswell. I work with a lot of guys from Tech. What year did you graduate?

Graduated Aerospace Engineering in December 2007. I work in Norcross now.

The trim is usually just cooked alongside the rack, or you can save a bunch of it for another barbecue. Other than the fact that a rack might present better than a slab, the racks are easier to cook, and take less time.
