    BB's are a favorite here and I can load up the PBCjr with multiple racks easier. Smithfield Extra Meaty is what I run most of the time.

        Ditto. I use the leftover trimmings for making pork broth and dog food.

      We like them all so we alternate.

        We like the both so whatever looks good when I go to the store.

          I prefer spares so I can trim them down to St Louis cut and have the tips and trimmings left for a snack. Plus they are usually cheaper per pound too. But it's been hard finding good spares lately so we've eaten a lot of BB's.

            Spare ribs trimmed down to St Louis style for the same reasons as posted above

              Full spares, trim the tips for cook’s privilege.

                I’m very particular with my ribs. They must have meat on them....... That said, if cooked right, I like them equally.

                  Buy spare Ribs, trim for St. Louis cut, use trimming for snacks.
                  Unless I get Baby Backs, or beef ribs, or country style pork ribs.

                    For spicier sauces I like spares, for sweeter I like babies.

                      I cook the full spares then trim. The tips seem to stay more moist that way.

                        I've been in the baby back or loin back rib camp for 20 years, but the last few cooks have swung back to full spares, cut down to Saint Louis cut myself, and think I like them better than the loin back ribs.
