Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

There is definitely more connective tissue on the spares. There is more meat between the bones. On the Baby Backs, the amount of meat is dependent on how much of the loin meat is left with the bones. Since the loin meat is very lean, the BBRs cook quicker.
I always ordered or cooked Baby Backs, until I made some St Louis cut spare ribs. Game over for me. They just taste better, and you'll have less chance of drying them out if you cook them slightly too long.
