St Louis Style cut BB
 
Just saw on another thread that many of you trim your ribs St Louis style. I can't find anywhere in my town that sells them this way and was wondering if anyone could give a quick tutorial on how they do it. Also, there was mention of removing the flap from the ribs. What is the flap??

It is the portion of the slab which kinda folds over with a silverish membrane attached.

Don't toss it, or the "knuckles" you cut off (those be rib tips). Smoke it all up, and the flap is snacks or sliced into beans or something.

Here is a great tutorial on how to trim St. Louie style...

So it is basically a rack of spare ribs with the tips and the flap/skirt cutoff? Is that correct?

Thanks guys!!!

BTW...there are no St. Louis style BB's. Two different cuts.

Wager 02-25-2008 02:28 PM
Thanks Bigmista, I wasn't sure what cut they were and thought that was a certain cut of BB instead of spare ribs.

Any differences in cooking spares as opposed to BB? One takes longer than the other? I've never done spares.

Generally spare take longer.
