Rib tips

I bought spare ribs and had them trimmed to st. louis style. I have a back full of tips, does anyone have any ideas on how I should prepare them as an appetizer? Tomorrow for NYE I am serving brisket, ribs, a spatchcock chicken and chicken wings (appetizer). I am starting the brisket tonight at some point then putting the ribs on the large AR with the brisket. The chicken will be on the medium and I think I can do the tips and wings before I put the chicken on. If any one has any ideas or recipes they would be willing to share I would appreciate it!

    Last night we had riblets. Cooked indirect at 250 took about three hours and at the end I raised up to 350 for about a half hour to speed up supper.
    Used a commercial rib rub, but don't remember which. A tasty if messy appetizer. Serve with a roll of paper towels.

    You can cook them like you would your ribs (but they should cook a little faster) and cut them into little pieces and call them "riblets" or just call them rib tips.  Perhaps rub or sauce them differently to differentiate them more from your ribs.

    Some other possibilities, cook them up and remove the cartilage by hand (let them cool a bit first) or cut it out, then chop up the tips into small pieces and use the meat in quesadillas or toss them in some baked beans for a really meaty version of "pork and beans".  Or perhaps put some of the meat in some ABTs.
