i am going to do spares next and just add 15 or so mins. Spares seem to have much better meat on them.

Just asking: is there a size between Baby Back and spares or a size bigger than spares?????Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

Thanks mickey. I put a 4# rack on at 5. It's at 300 now, I'm bumping it up to 350.
Just asking: is there a size between Baby Back and spares or a size bigger than spares?????
Don't think so? -
spares are the biggest. Trim them down and cut off the "knuckle" and you have St. Louis style ribs. Baby backs are actually a different rib than a spare (from the back, oddly enough). So i guess you could say St. Louis style are in between but they are really just a trimmed down spare.Hope this helpsKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Yeah i trimmed the spares st Louis style. Trimmings just thrown on in foil. No idea what to do there.
Thinking about flipping, per http://www.greeneggers.com/index.php?option=com_recipes&Itemid=71&func=detail&id=1332
Maybe even foiling the rack to accelerate. -
I just did a little digging and wiki says that babys can be meatier than spares but I've always noticed that the spares were much larger and meatier. Might have to buy a rack of each this week and see what's upKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

Its been an hour, flipped it. No basting though.
Pic is status post flip -

I've done both "loin back ribs" and spares trimmed to St. Louis. I like the STL and my wife likes the Baby Backs. Just like most things in Q, different people like different things.

Took trimmings off after an hour. Tasty, but foil = less smoke
-
To be continued tomorrow, with final pics.

Let us know how the "slurping" went.
