    I trim it, and use most for other dishes. Often put a piece on the grill w. the slab as a cooks treat when I check to see how the rest is doing.

    I'm with @qdenby.  It also serves well to chop up and add to beans.

    I thought St Louis ribs were simply spareribs with that flap already cut off.  Am I mistaken?

    Sometimes I trim it. Sometimes I leave it. Sometimes I trim it, cut it into strips, batter and deep fry it. Just depends on my mood that day.

    I trim it, cook it on the side, and feed it to my two dogs.  Did I ever mention that ANY time and EVERY time I fire up the egg both of my dogs are by my side the entire time I'm cooking?

    If you  trim it off and freeze it and save it till you have enough it makes a great chili.

    That plus the extra meat beyond the rib tips

    Chop the trimmed flap part and mix into baked beans!
