    Love me some St.Louis Ribs!! I love the uniformity of the ribs. I don't really care for all the thick loin meat on BBs' .

      I'm usually in the same camp here, but once in awhile, you get some great marbling in that (often times lean) loin meat. And when you get a babyback with that marbling, it's pretty great eating.

    Personal preference, I'd say. I'm a spareribs (including SLC) guy myself. Seems like more collagen and interesting stuff to cook down. In fact, when I get done working I'm prepping a couple of racks for tomorrow!

      Baby Backs all the way. I think they are meatier and more delicious than the St. Louis!

        Both! Nonetheless, I voted BBs--and meaty ones at that.

          • I currently have 4 grills 2 gas (Weber spirit 700 and Weber 1000) 2 charcoal (Weber master touch 22 and PK360). I also have a cast iron hibachi and a joule Sous vide. I have multiple probe thermometers , MK4, Smoke, 2 chef alarm, ThermaQ and thermaK and a thermoworks IR with K probe port. for knives I love my Messermeister Olive elite and my TojironDP Gyutou. which I keep razor sharp using my edge-pro. I also have a weather station to keep an eye on good Grilling weather.

          I voted for st Louis style as they came out better than my baby backs did but I am so new to this my vote should probably not count any way LOL

            I'm in the same boat as you Amajeff99. I have not had good results with BB but the SL have consistently come out great. But if somebody else cooks them I'll take either one!!

            I'm with EdF & the spare ribs. I'll trim to St. Louie & have all the goodies that come with it as frosting on the cake. Plus, the cheapskate that I am, it is the lowest cost product in my parts. Then again, @Larry047 has a good idea. Well, maybe Mr. Bones 'S camp is good to. Hey. Whose idea was it that we have to chose anyway. I think this poll is extremely unfair. I say EAT! EAT! & EAT! Let our digestive systems decide.

                My vote too is actually spares! Anyone offended by watching me nibble on cartilage tips is probably someone I don't want to "break bread" with anyway.

                  I was raised a baby back guy... but after reading here, reading Meathead's book, and watching some videos online, I decided I might be wrong about that and gave a slab of St. Louis a try recently and loved them. Have another three racks on right now, and I may just be a convert...

                      Spares. If you had run the same poll 15 years ago it would have been the opposite. Not a thing wrong with the baby back ribs but I haven't cooked them as regularly for awhile. I love a good sauce on baby backs and little, if no sauce, on St. Louis'.

                        Mr. Bones - I use my beef rub as a base - salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, lemon powder, a couple types of chili powders and then either a cajun rub or my chicken rub - no salt,

                      • Started Low-N-Slow BBQ in 2012. Obviously, it's taken hold (in chronological order:
                        1.) A pair of Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5's
                        2.) #LilTex, a 22" Expensive Offset Smoker (looks like a Yoder Witicha)
                        3.) #WhoDat1, a HUGE Gravity Fed Insulated Cabinet Smoker (cooking chamber 3'x2'x6')
                        4.) A Full Size Commercial Dryer/converted to Vertical Smoker.
                        5.) Jambo Backyard stickburner (my FAVORITE Pit so far)
                        6.) GrillMeister, a huge 24"x48" Adjustable, Charcoal Grill from Pitmaker.com
                        7.) 22" Weber Kettle with Slow-N-Sear
                        8.) Vault insulated reverse-flow cabinet smoker from Pitmaker
                        9.) BarbecueFiretruck...under development
                        10.) 26 foot BBQ Vending Trailer equipped with HUGE Myron Mixon 72xc smoker is HERE, Oct 2016!
                        11.) Opened www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com Food Trailer officially in March 2017
                        12.) Austin Smoke Works 500 Gallon Propane Tank Offset Smoker, named "Lucille" as travel pit for PaulsRibShack, Oct 2018.
                        12.) Opening Brick & Mortar location at 4800 Nelson Rd, Spring 2019. Had a pair of 1,000 Gallon Austin Smoke Works pits, both in RibShackRed for our new place!

                        Fabulous Backlit Thermapens, several Maverick Remote Thermometers (don't use any remotes anymore), Thermoworks Smoke, Other Thermoworks toys, Vacuum sealer, lots and lots of equipment...

                        I'm loving using BBQ to make friends and build connections.
                        I have #theRibList where I keep a list of new and old friends and whenever I'm cooking, I make 1 to 20 extra and share the joy.

                    If you have a Weber Kettle, you need the Slow 'N' Sear

                    slow n sear
                    The Slow 'N' Sear turns your grill into a first class smoker and also creates an extremely hot sear zone you can use to create steakhouse steaks.

                    The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

                    the good one grill
                    The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

                    Griddle And Deep Fryer In One

                    Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
                    The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

                    The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy

                    Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
                    The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

                    The Thermoworks Thermapen MK4 is considered by the pros, and our team, to be the single best instant read thermometer. The MK4 includes features that are common on high-end instruments: automatic backlight and rotating display. Don't accept cheap substitutes.

                    Grilla Pellet Smoker proves good things come in small packages

                    Grilla pellet smoker
                    We always liked Grilla. The small 31.5" x 29.5" footprint makes it ideal for use where BBQ space is limited, as on a condo patio.

                    Is This Superb Charcoal Grill A Kamado Killer?

                    PK 360 grill
                    The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it's easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills. It is beautifully designed, completely portable, and much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado.

                    Our Favorite Backyard Smoker

                    kareubequ bbq smoker

                    The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.

                    Masterbuilt MPS 340/G ThermoTemp XL Propane Smoker

                    masterbuilt gas smoker
                    This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp's dial from 175? to 350?F and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin'.

                    The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted

                    NK-22-Ck Grill
                    Napoleon's NK22CK-C Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It's hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the NK22CK-C a viable alternative.
