Personally, I like the Baby Back ribs a little better because of the meat to bone ratio. BUT, where I buy my pork (BJs warehouse store), the BB Ribs are usually about $3.29 per pound and the spare ribs are usually only about $1.69. At that price difference, I'll buy the cryovac of two racks of spare ribs!
What I really wonder at is the fact that whole boneless pork loins are usually priced there at $2.39 or so. That makes the price of the BB ribs seem even more out of line.
Pork shoulders tend to be $1.39 to $1.69, also cryovac -- two hunks. At Costco the shoulders cost a little bit more but are boneless.

I agree Dale, That's why I allways do spares! I can buy 2 racks for the price of one.I guess the BB name sells more, But a nice rack of spares cut (St Louis) style "in the right hands" are very good! As for the shoulder they are around .89 per # here!! Makes a person love those PP sammies!!

What is "St. Louis style"?I agree Dale, That's why I allways do spares!

$0.89 per pound! I am jealous. I thought that I had a good deal at $1.39 at my BJs or Costco. IF the regular grocery stores have pork shoulder, it is usually priced much higher than that. Occasionally, they will have a sale that beats the BJ price, but not often.

Any time my Friend, Just PM me when you are going to be in the area. We can share some great FL bbq!

A 4.5 lb rack of untrimmed spares at $1.69 is $7.60, a 2.25 lb rack of BBs at $3.29 is $7.40 with no trimming and a shorter cook time.
Just FYI, the local Hannaford Supermarket is selling "All Natural" BB ribs for $8.49 a pound, a price that I am willing to bet is the highest price for BBs in the USA(makes that 2.25 lb rack $19.10). Every time I go in there I go to the rib section just to have a laugh
Great-looking BB's, raptor!! I'm curious -- what kind of rub did you use?
On BB pricing, I've paid up to $5/lb. I guess they're just more in demand than spares.

St. Louis style = spare ribs with the tips trimmed off. They cook more evenly and are easier to eat. Here's a video how-to:

raptor nice to see someone from my area i'm here in Mary Esther. Those BB look great. Great photos, I know what I will be putting on the smoker this weekend. You have inspired me to smoke.
It's a basic rub, black, red, white pepper with Kosher salt, Paprika, onion and garlic powder, and Turbinado!
