After you trim spare ribs to St. Louis style, what do you do with the meat you trimmed off? Thanks for the help!

    Some folks make sausage.  I prefer to boil and make chili -green or red don't matter or add to a pot of beans after it has been boiled.

    I know some folks trim and toss it right on with the ribs. It cooks up quicker than the ribs and turns into a treat for the chef midway through the cook. 

    I've never done it myself so I can't elaborate on the details, but I'm sure someone around here can.

    +1 to riding with the ribs for a tasty treat! Make sure you have enough to share with any witnesses though! They'll get jelly!

    +1 with @ChillyWillis- I toss about all I trim with the exception of the pieces that are almost totally bone or cartilage on the BGE.  All the trimmings take around 2 1/2 -3 hrs to cook (250-270*F) on the dome.  Make for eggcellent cook's treats or toss into a pot of beans, ABT fillings, etc.  I use a toothpick test to determine when done.  No resistance and you are there.  FWIW-
    BTW-welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.

    I used to trim off what I could salvage without sending a lot of time and then freeze it. Then I'd use a package or two for a wok meal. Then I started just throwing it on the grate for a cook's reward. Half way through it is aways done.
