i hate to seem dense but to what does the 3 and down refer... i buy spares "4.5 and up" and sometimes they are monsters sometimes they are real small...all from restaurant depot...and at times there are 2 racks per cryovac ...others 3 racks and ive even gooten 4 racks per cryovac...since they are frozen solid its hard to know how many to buy...what gives???

Hey Jacked Up, Are you saying that the average St Loui is 3 #, or that the spares are 3 #. I ussually buy spares that weigh around 4.5 # and trim them down to to about 2.2 # St. Louies. I'm curious if the 4.5 spare that I start out with would be correctly referred to as a 3 and down St Louie.

Thanks for carifying Jacked up. I generally don't see them much larger then that around here.

The entire brand thing to me doesn't mean much if I am just buying a commodity pig anyway

Can you actually buy st. louis ribs raw? All I've seen is precooked ones in the store. Trimming isn't too bad but I'm all for convenience!

I have good luck with Hormel, IBP and Curleys.

You can but only by the case and they come frozen.
Love IBP's and Curlys. Personally shy away from anything from Hormel. Just personal preference.

I have actually had the chance to get fresh, the only problem is the price. They are about a buck more per pound.

Most of the supermarkets in my area sell single SLS's in single COV's for $3.99 @ lb...kinda pricey. I've seen them at Super Target for a buck less.

Where does everyone order their ribs from?
