I'll give you guys (and gals) credit for turning me to spares for my
first ribs (and second batch was smoked Saturday).

For the first batch I had the butched cut them to St. Louis style for
me (while I watched). Not much to it, so I did it myself this
weekend. They were certainly more meaty than baby backs and the
leftovers (tips?) were almost as good as the ribs themselves (and
certainly more messy!).

When cooking the ribs and other stuff, do you pull the other stuff off
earlier? Some of them seemed more dry than the ribs. Or do you just
cook them all the same and deal witht he range of moistness?

Rock (sorry to interrupt a mediocre flame war with a question)
