One more reason I prefer the back ribs.  No, Tom, you are not doing anything wrong...they are more fatty.

Tom, if they are St Louis trimmed, they're not as fatty as full spares (with the tips).  But, there's a lot less meat, in St Louis cuts (imo).  If I do spares, I actually like the tips the best!  I prefer back ribs because there aren't two different "sections".  The meat is thicker, and more consistent, from end to end.
