How to use left over pork trimmings

I have several pounds of left-over pork from trimming a big batch of spare ribs. Lots of fat, lots of meat hunks. Been in the freezer for several months.

Any good ideas for using the trimmings? Should I smoke them and use them to add flavor to baked beans? Any other thoughts.

Would appreciate some input.

I think most smoke them alongside the ribs from which they were trimmed. Makes a great mid-cook snack, and, if frozen and saved for later, they don't require firing up the WSM just to cook them for other purposes.
 
If you have a meat grinder or a food processor, you might think about adding some spices to make sausage meat to either fry up in patties or smoke a fatty or add it to some ground beef and smoke a killer meatloaf.

Thanks for the suggestions. Think I'll try the sausage this time with the first frozen batch. Maybe the meatloaf with the second.

Next time I'll cook them along with the ribs. Not sure why I didn't originally !
