Babyback or st. Louis style?

Let's see what the general consensus is here. Babyback or st. Louis style?

 

[fivetricks]

Depends on the day. Or maybe what kind of rub and/or sauce combinations I want to use that particular day.

Both but seems I smoke baby backs more often than St Louis, and once in awhile I'll smoke regular spare ribs

Depends on what's on sale.

Baby backs here. I like St Louis and BB. Wife thinks the st Louis are more fatty - based on one batch there were very fatty. I like the meatiness of the BB. almost never do spares.

St. Louis for me but they're a bit more work getting ready and a bit longer to cook. My wife will answer baby backs though.

Anyone got side dish recommendations for ribs? Beans and slaw is my go to but variety is nice.

Grits, with cheese and jalapenos, ABTs, Fries

Corn Bread (Bear’s Favorite)

Corn Bread (Bear’s Favorite) I had to steal this Recipe from my Buddy Jim (SmokinOutBack)(AKA "Porked"), because it sounded just like what I’ve been looking for. I was right, it is Great, so I decided to do a Step by Step of it, and Jim said I should do one (Thanks Jim). I’ve been trying...

St. Louis ribs for me, baby backs for the Mrs. and the grand kids
St Louis ribs need a lot more work but you will be rewarded in the end. Selecting a good rack of ribs and trimming all the unwanted's makes for a nice meaty bite IMO.

Overall Baby Backs, quicker cooking proces. What about you good sir?

 

[SecondHandSmoker]

My wife and I prefer baby backs. But lately, it all depends on what is available at the grocery store.

 

[smokerjim]

St. Louis here!

 

[pops6927]

Baby backs for sure! MUCH leaner, healthier and better for you!

 

[kruizer]

I like baby backs but the St, Louis cut are abbout a buck a pound cheaper here so I do a lot of the St, Louis cut

 

[zwiller]

STL over BB but honestly, PP wins over both here.
