Spares are the ribs that I learned to do first. I have done many other styles, but keep going back to spares.

Ditto Bob H., plus there's more meat and I'm just a fat guy that can't get enough!


To smoke, or not to smoke? THERE IS NO QUESTION!

I don't cook 'em very often. Because if it get right down to it, ribs is some pretty expensive eats.

I like the St. Louis cut spares. You have to work a bit harder to make them as tender as baby backs but I think they have more flavor and a lot more meat!

The last time I smoked I did an 8 LB rack of babyback tenderloin. They were great. But I love ribs. Yummy...!

For me, cooking spares gives you more wiggle-room. They come out moist no matter how you long you cook them. Baby backs for me at least require more attention; easier to over do!
