Pork Rib Meat selection ?

[azphil]

Hello To All

 I am about to smoke my first ribs this weekend and The wife found Pork Brisket ribs at the store. I know according to the E course that spare ribs have more meat than baby back ribs,but I don't know what pork brisket ribs are. So Is that what I want to use?

 Thanks

Could you post a picture of them so we know better what they are?

Rib tips (a.k.a. brisket, a.k.a. costal cartilages, a.k.a. breaks). Rib tips are strips that have been cut from the lower ends of the spareribs when making St. Louis cut ribs. They typically run 8 to 12" long and 1 to 3" wide.

No Pic's. The wife didn't buy them .She was looking at rib options at that store. I told her that I wanted Spare ribs to smoke and that is what she said that store had. I wasn't sure if that was another name for spare ribs. Thats why I'm asking here.
