We are smoking some ribs for competition. St. Louis spare ribs are most common among competition BBQ cooks. They take a little longer to cook than baby back ribs and have small pieces of cartilage in addition to the larger bones. Most BBQ competitors prepare to cook with St. Louis ribs whenever possible.
