Wondering, what's better....baby back or St. Louis style? What's the real difference?
Going to do a rib **** tomorrow and I always do baby back. Thinking St. Louis might be worth trying

I like the taste better. When cut uniformly they cook even. I usually buy spares and trim myself. Try one of each.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

This like the "Ford vs Chevy" conversation. I would suggest you give both a go and decide for yourself. Lots of info out there in the "ether" that can help guide you. Just an opinion and we all know what those are worth...Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

I have done Spares, St Louis and BB the last three weeks using the 3/2/1 method and my family voted big time for the Baby Backs. Me I thought they were all good but my wife thought the Spares and St Louis ribs were to fatty and since I like them all it looks like it's Baby Backs from now on.

Baby backs for me because as others have mentioned, way less fat. I also think the BBs cook more evenly and are just as tender.

I had a bad cook with baby backs several years ago. Not as moist as St. Louis style, so I've focused on the SL's. HOWEVER, today I ran into some baby backs for 1.97/lb, so I bought them and am giving them a try tomorrow.Dave - Austin, TX
