I saw some of these in the store here in South Carolina this past weekend and bought two racks. Each rack weighs approximately 2.4 lbs. They appear to be just what they purport to be -- spare ribs cut down into the St. Louis style cut. Does anyone have any experience with these ribs from this company? I have not opened them yet, but intend to cook them some time this weekend. Thanks.

I've smoked a pile of them over the years. If I can catch them on sale, I usually stock up on six or seven racks. IMHO, it is hard to beat anything Smithfield puts its name on. Their smoked hams are very good also, and are on sale around here quite often. T.
 
My local grocer puts Smithfield's baby back ribs on sale for 2.99 per pound every 8 or 10 weeks. I buy 4 or 5 racks each time and love them. I would recommend anything Smithfield makes, especially their ribs. Good stuff.
 
Just don't look into their labour practices or watch anything that shows their slaughter facilities.

While I understand value, it's never a bad thing to look into the practices of the company you support.
 
Yeah, they closed a plant in Sioux City, IA this week, no real reason besides "not ENOUGH profit" spew they do. Won't buy their stuff now (never did), will pay more to support more local lockers and quality grocery stores.
