What makes these spare ribs different from the rest? St. Louis-style ribs became popular between the 1930s and 1960s among smaller meatpackers. Instead of the iconic baby back ribs, they use pork spare ribs and cut them in their famous rectangle shape. This shape means there's more meat on the bone and far less cartilage. These ribs are bigger and come from a pig's belly area; since they are flatter, they make browning them for a crispy outside and tender, moist inside insanely easy.

St. Louis-Style spare ribs also have more fat, which makes these ribs superior in tenderness and more flavorful.
How can you cook these spare ribs? These ribs can be cooked beautifully in a wood pellet, electric smoker, or even on your backyard gas or charcoal grill. One of the key differences between these and other styles of ribs is that they're larger and meatier, so if you have a recipe for smoking baby-back ribs, or ribs in general, that tells you to cook them for 4 hours, you'll probably need more like 6.

Don't have a smoker or don't feel like using the BBQ? You can also cook them low and slow in your oven. A great tip for these ribs in the range is to bake them at 350 F, wrapped in foil so they never overcook or dry out for roughly two hours, then remove the foil and bake an additional 15-20 to get a golden, crispy crust.
