When you trim the upper portion of the spare pork ribs how do you cook that meat? If I do the 3-2-1 to the ribs and want them to mimic the texture/tenderness, would I also do the 3-2-1 to the trimmings?

Sure! Or you could grind it with your Armstrong meat grinder and make pork burgers! I bet that would taste GREAT!!

I saw a youtube video where I guy just tossed them on the smoker right next to the ribs - they were done in much less time and were a great snack while waiting for the real ribs to finish.
However, grinding it to make breakfast sausage or burgers sounds like it would be awesome. I'll be dealing with my first st louis cut this weekend - I just bought a 3 lb spare rib rack from Giant for $9.00! -------------------- My food/photo blog: Grilling 24x7

If I do the 3-2-1 to the ribs and want them to mimic the texture/tenderness, would I also do the 3-2-1 to the trimmings? Sometimes I will just leave the skirt on the spares unless you want more of a presentation everyone gets a little more meat on each rib, if I trim the skirt I will put it in the smoker with something I'm smoking and use it all barked up for baked beans. or put it in a mac and cheese. jim -------------------- Ducane Meridian 5 Burner-IR Burner-Warming Drawers-Rotto-Side Burners
