Sudden development here,
Need to make ribs Saturday,
Could go with the Mr. Familiar, Babybacks cooked 2-2-1,
Or Spare ribs, tried these a few years back and it wasn't my best deal, never tried them again since.
Whats your vote, and how would you cook them ? (other than on a weber grill)

Baby backs. Always...when possible.
In addition to on a grill, and in a smoker...I’ve also cooked em’ in the oven, and in a crock pot...!
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

I prefer full spares (not StL cut) with brisket bone and flap meat removed. 2 parts CBP, 1 part KS.

i switched to st louis spares lately. they take longer to smoke than baby backs though so you need to figure that in. they also seem to work best smoked several hours at 225-ish to get the grease out of them. but really, either are good.

I like them both, but I have have cooked so many St. Louis spares for competition that they are my go to for ribs.
Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

Went to the butcher shop with an open mind,
Saw some big, bad, meaty, thick beautiful baby backs staring at me.
Resistance was futile.

Growing up near St Louis, I didn't even know what "baby backs" were the first time I saw them on a menu. Ribs was ribs - and they were free, being throwaways from the packing yards. Old Black men cooked them low and slow over hickory and slavered them with thick sweet sauce.
The first time I saw "dry rub baby back ribs" my thought was, "What the fog?" Then I learned: "baby" refers to the amount of meat on 'em and "back" means how you send them to the cook.

I am not a rib fan but growing up my Mother grilled a lot of spare ribs because they were dirt cheap. My wife loves baby backs so we cook them once a month or so. She likes them with cole saw (yuck). I try to have a big lunch on rib day.
