Regarding BBQ Inc.
If you look at the picture below (or at your newly trimmed rack of spare ribs), there are three pieces of meat. You should know what to do with the ribs. As for the other pieces, these are great morsels of meat that you can use in other dishes (on some racks this is actually a lot of meat). Prepare these rib tips and serve them as appetizers. Personally, I grill then relatively fast, cut them into bite sized pieces apply sauce and serve before the actually rack comes off the smoker.
