What type of ribs does everybody do mostly?

[leorousseau]

Pork Spare's or Baby Back's?

 

[squeezy]

I do mostly BBs ... I would do spares more often, if the price was more reasonable ...

 

[hawgheaven]

Mostly BB's, but spares are a close second...

Baby Backs here.

 

[ozark rt]

About 3 to 1 baby backs. The family prefers them over spares, I'm about 50/50 myself. But you know if mama ain't happy...

Spares. I get a good deal on fresh spares pretty regularly at a local supermarket. I'll have to try BB's to see what I'm missing out on.

 

[skeeter]

I do spares, I get a good price at my butcher, they are local small farm raised hogs, and he does all the trimming.

Baby backs at this house. I cook what the household wants and she wants baby backs.

Spares...........cheaper, meatier, but i do love BB's when their on sale

 

[wvsmokeman]

I favor the Spares. A lot more meat for less money

 

[peculiarmike]

Spares - $1.49 lb. on sale, about any Wednesday
Baby backs - $2.99 lb regular, $2.69 on sale now & then

Mostly spares. Better price, more meat, better flavor because of more fat.

Country Style for me......

 

[shellbellc]

I'm half and half, BB's and St. Louis style.

That should be all you need to know. I buy bb's on sale every now and then, but that's it.

This would have made a good poll.

We do nothing but spares. My wife finds a deal on them and loads up. The BB's are almost always double the price.

About 3 to 4 to 1 bb's to spares (just because I have more of them. gotta buy 3 racks at a time at Costco). I do spares St Louis style/cut. About every 6 weeks, I'll throw on some beef ribs.

 

[leorousseau]

I was gonna do a poll but was kinda in a hurry and didn't know how.

 

[smokyokie]

I'm w/ Mike for the same reasons except that BBs are usually $3.99 around here, we see spares for about $1.29 on sale fairly often. And I really don't know why anyone would cut the best part of the rib off (the brisket) and call them St Louis style.

Around here, we call a good spare a "steak on a stick".

Spares for BBQ, and BBs for grilling.

(It's All Good!)

Hey Watery Eyes,
I like country style too, but they're not actually ribs. They're actually pork butt cut into chunks, but there's no foul in that!

Definately spares!

I love to chew around bones but I like there to be meat there first!
