St. Louis Spares in KC???

Guitar-B-Que · Aug 27, 2007

I have had no luck finding them. I can always find spare ribs, but not specifically STL style. I'm gonna try the fish market in Liberty tomorrow(they were closed today).

Guess I will just pick up a brisket to get ready for tomorrow.

Anyone know where to get some around KC?

Got a knife? Spares to St Louis conversion takes about 2 minutes.

Wow . . . that guy needs some dogs.

Also - if you keep an eye out, full slabs are normally less expensive per pound than St. Lois style - but don't let the excess go to waste - I always smoke the rib tips and trimmings from which I pull the good meat off of for use in baked beans. Now that's some good eatin'!

I just had another thought - drop by your neighborhood grocery store and get to know the guy in the meat department. Try to go during the day during the week if you can work that out since you'd most likely be talking to the meat department manager. Just let them know that you're smoking ribs and you're looking to buy some that are trimmed up St. Louis style. All of the meat guys I've ever met are also smoke cookers and can get you what you need.

Triimmings get smoked like everything else at my house. MrsMista loves that knuckle bone.

Around here you can figure on adding a dollar a pound if you want a St. Louie trim.

My trimmings turned out better than my ribs yesterday!
I have to stop experimenting and keep it simple.

I usually get spares at Sam's club.

I assume you are talking about Liberty Bend fish market? They have the BEST bacon.

Awesome. I figured it was just trimming, but wasn't sure. I just need to ask more questions. Thanks for that. I got em cut up and ready to go for tomorrow. I'll post some pron when their done.

I guess I'm just gonna smoke the left overs. Not making any beans or anything tomorrow. Might chop some of it up real good and mix in with some ABT's.

Yes they do!! We get side meat from them for around Christmas time each year. It's great. It's like bacon, but real thick cut.

Last year they messed up and gave us salt pork which looks really similar but salty as all get out. That made for some faces Christmas breakfast.

Wait a minute. More importantly than how to cut them...what's a KC boy doing asking for St. Louie style ribs! Is someone over there finally ready to recognize the eastern side of the states superiority in the bbq world! :twisted:

Governer's Cup Thursday. Nothing like watching a bunch of players who won't make the team decide it.

Oh...and as far as on topic, I buy baby backs...so I have no idea. :grin:

Actually, just getting into the whole BBQ game. This is gonna be my third smoke. I like STL cut, cause that's how my favorite BBQ joint serves em. Figured I would give it a shot.

As far as Thursday and Chiefs upcoming 07' season.
