I always trim my spare ribs and pull the membrane. Yesterday I decided to keep the long strips of good looking meat and the ends that I cut off the 2 racks and save it. Can I smoke that as I would any rib? Just curious as I have never smoked the long trim pieces. (riblets)??

In addition to the aforementioned uses in beans and as a treat for the cook, I use those rib tips to experiment with new rubs, recipes, sauces, glazes, etc. It's a great way to find your next big idea for a rack of ribs!
Interesting. Never thought about that. Makes perfect sense to me. Thank you!

Like everyone else said, they are good eating and can be repurposed for all kinds of things. I like to treat them like burnt ends and make tender little bbq cubes with a good bark, and plenty of smoke and sauce on them. It’s too good to waste.
