I cut the skirt and brisket portions into tips, and rub them with seasoning and brown sugar to fry up with home fries and eggs on a cast iron griddle for breakfast on weekends.

This man is my spirit animal. "And you'll never, umm, go unhappy." That is me every time I try to record a video with commentary and pretty much daily talking to anyone. The right word or phrase just escapes me. 😂 I used this video last night for st Louis style. The entire crowd could not believe ribs cooked at home could be so perfect. Thank you!

Wow, I never knew what "St. Louis Style Ribs" meant until now. Thank you, I learned something new today. I always say if you go to bed without learning at least one new thing, and it could be anything from CPR to the name of the dog that played Toto, if you don't learn something new, that's a wasted day.

Great tutorial Brian and nice tip on securing the cutting board.

When cutting st louis style, what do you do with the tip portion?

This video came in handy when I used my smoker for the 2nd time. Thanks for posting!

How should I cook all of the spare meet from the st Louis style cut.

Sometimes you just get meat that is not desired, it happens, but you did a good job, about 2 yrs ago my wife bought a whole bone-in turkey breast, no thighs, legs, wings as had been removed, she is not the greatest with knife carving so I had to carve & the turkey had scoliosis( curvature in the backbone as bad as a dog's hind leg)) what a job trying to cut it up, lol, & I'm 60 yr old from Ky. Hunting since I was 9, I can quick skin a squirrel, rabbit, etc...in less than 2 minutes, fully field dressed in 2-4minutes, but that turkey was a mess, lol

Thanks for posting. I just picked up two full racks on sale and I think I’ll do what you did and leave one full and cut one to St. Louis.

you could put non skid cabinet liner or rug mat, it's $1 a roll at Dollar Tree, trim able.

Thanks for the tutorial. For some reason the st Louis style was just more neat and satisfying to do to. I threw a lot away but they were on sale anyway lol

What are you feeling for when you caress it after flipping it over?

[MorelloMushroom]

I just had 1 of each, didn't know the rib tips were the difference, they were only 30 cents a pound difference, why not just by the st Louis that's already trimmed? Would save money, no?

[rajackson]

THANKS FOR THAT, I AM FIXING TO DO MINE NOW!

I enjoyed this video. I sometimes smoke spareribs but have never done them St. Lewis style. Now that I know how to cut them I will try next time. Questions 1) do you smoke the parts removed like you do the ribs? 2) Do you always smoke the ribs with the 3-2-1 method? Thanks for your help.

Why did you score the first one and remove the membrane for the second?
Why not remove membrane for both??

[TheJohnnyMannion]

Great.Video! I never buy St Louis style and rarely cook them that way! I love all that extra rib meat!!! New sub here!!

[blackbeastge]
