Split Spares?

Purchased some ribs last minute at store. Got home and unwrapped them and noticed little strange shape. Pretty small on one end. Looked at wrapper and saw Split Spares. Are these simply the tops that are cut off of St. Louis style spares? If so, how different will they cook than spares? I was planning my normal 5-6 hours. The larger end are very meaty.

I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.____________________Aurora, Ontario, Canada

I think they are spares too @SGH. Maybe mismarked. They are certainly an odd shape though. And cooking a little odd. No pullback off bones after 4.5 hours.Columbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013

Thru the cloud of adult supervisory beverages, they look like trimmed St Louis spares for the most part. Regardless, great looking ribs-toothpick test for the finish. Great eats await.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.

Okay verdict is in. No pics because my phone was charging. @SGH these might have been from a dog or cat!! The longest bone was little over 3 inches. It was almost like these were a mini version of untrimmed spares. The bones did not go through half the width and these was a ton of cartilage like rib tips. This was a new one on me. Pretty
good but really bizarreColumbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013 -
And you didn't purchase from a street vendor with a link to over-seas markets?? Tastes good , "is good and better off not knowing the origin".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.
