Been wanting to try St Louis style spares and your excellent tutorial convinced me give it a try. Cut those up like I actually knew what I was doing. The great thing about bbq'n is the practice to get them right. The cutting was good but i'm going to need to practice the cook more. Thank you very much.

You certainly could add some rib meat to the mix for sausage. I remove the cartilage before I grind. As you can see in the pictures, from a 5lb rack of spares, I wind up with just about a pound of meat for grinding, the rack of St. Louis spares and a nice piece of the rib tips for smoking.

A great tutorial. Exact same steps I use. However, recently I have had Fischers Meat Market trim them for me.

Fantastic information here. As soon as I get my UDS done I will be cooking up a few racks, especially knowing how to cut them up right now!

Thanks

Really great post Bob! Exactly how I do them and personally I think that Spares done in this fashion are better (and cheaper) than baby backs. I'll never forget the first time my wife looked at that big cryo packed slab of meat and bones and turned her nose up saying..."I only eat baby back ribs"... 6 hours later she agreed they were just as good (if not better) than any baby backs she had tried and best of all...cheaper. (She loves a deal.)

I'm slapping my forehead for not thinking of grinding the skirt and other trimmings! I usually just throw them on and cook them until they are about the texture of jerky...love it, but would also like to try the meatball idea.
