These are my favorite ribs, bar none. Imagine if Berkshires or Durocs were HUGE, and you didn’t have to say, “Well they tasted great but there were a few shiners.” Well, here you are. Myself, I don’t know if I have the room for them, and I still have a couple racks of full spares in the freezer. But I’m tempted anyhow.

Having never ordered from here, how big is the typical rack of St. Louis or Spare ribs?-
About 3lbs for the St Louis, minimum is 2.75lbs. But if you get the full spares, you get the tips, plus the breast bone and trimmings for beans, soups, etc. Each full spare is about 5lbs. That’s how I usually get them. I trim them to St Louis + tips, if that makes sense; for me, the tips just rule. But I don’t think one deal is better than the other; I just want my tips, and I’m willing to trim the ribs myself to get them!

How much do you usually pay for shipping? Their estimate to ship to Colorado is as much to ship as it is for the ribs..Comment

Mosca, They don't even offer UPS Ground only 3 Day Select for $170.. I would certainly like to try them but $60 a rack seems expensive..

I ordered the St Louie! Thanks!

They be in NC - UPS Ground for us here in FL is $23.15 for the Rib Sampler #1 (3 StLouis, 3 BBacks with no weight stated
). I suspect that they ship fresh (not frozen) hence the pricey (air) shipping to CO, CA and other yonder parts ...
Having shared this piece of obviousness
... Mosca - can you say WHY you find this so appealing? (as opposed to say, Porter Road with their pasture-raised pork?)

We love Porter Road pork and buy the pork chops and other pork cuts often but every time we have tried their ribs we have been disappointed. Thin and quite a few shiners every time so we gave up on them for ribs. That might not be the experience for others but it has been ours several times, but again only concerning their ribs.

So those St. Louis Ribs are $28 a rack? Wow.Comment

I would love to try these, but out of my budget at the moment. I gotta get 'em at Sam's or watch for a sale at Kroger/Fresh Market/Publix.Comment

Mine just arrived today. I ordered 6 St. Louis racks. Mine appear to have been shipped fresh. Mine arrived by FedEx. All the ice packs fully frozen still after transit. Nice looking and thick. It is a real shame that some of us get free shipping but others aren’t so fortunate.Comment

Had to write a thank you for posting this sale. When my ribs arrived I learned my neighbor was having guests from Spain visiting for a week so I gave him 2 racks. Afterwards they all told me how great the ribs were. Today was the first time I got to try a rack. Ours turned out fantastic on the SNS grill with a little Cherry. I have now gone back and ordered pork chops and will compare them to the ones we get from Porter Road. Again thanks for sharing this pork source.Comment
