    Great video... I've found that the spate ribs with the tips still attached are a lot of work to trim fat & trim the tips.. In Chgo, we love rib tips-so it's great to out & buy them at a rib joint- but pure hell having to spend a 1/2 hour trimming spare ribs.(they can't me with an Inordinate amount of fat. I tend to but the baby backs, so I don't have to work as hard, most of the time.

    Not funny at all! Using a dog was totally unsanitary! Next maybe putting dirty shoes on the sanitary food counter is going to be next?! Feces, E. Coli, Samonellla, funguses, and even poisons can hide in the crevices afterwards. Yes poisons! If you have a business or even have your house sprayed these chemicals can leach onto the soles of shoes or moist paws and transfer to the boards he is using to process your foods. I have a insecticides and termicides that would do just that and it could easily end up in your digestive tract!

    Hey Justin, good tutorial on pork ribs! I have always like spares over baby back ribs. To me the belly meat left on the spare ribs has such a better flavor than the pork loin leftover on the back ribs, but I do like a good pork chop..... if I'm lucky enough to find them with decent marbling. Whoever coined the phrase "Fat Is Flavor" knew his stuff! That is one cute puppy you have!

    Russ, many people are leary of the chops on the neck end of a pork loin; I suppose because they have three different colors of meat and usually some marbling. Those are my favorites. If I see half-loins for sale, I'll sort them to find those that contain the neck chops.

The end product still has to be cooked, usually in a large roaster with sauerkraut at 350 degrees for 1.5 to 2.0 hours. Heavenly with garlic mashed or smashed potatoes!!! They're hard to find in Ohio, but a few German meat shops make them.

    Nice explanation. I usually buy untrimmed spares because they're what always go on sale. They're also stupid easy to smoke without screwing them up. I'm still experimenting with the tips. Last time I smoked them along with the ribs, then threw them in a crockpot, pulled the meat off, and made sandwichs. I've had problems with BBRs getting dry and tough because they're so lean that I've resorted to a 3-1.5-1 technique to get them tender. Works for me, YMMV.
