Baby back ribs questions

[EdGs]

I'm soon gonna be doing some baby backs on my new to me 3 series vertical pellet smoker.

I notice there is a big difference in the size of racks of ribs in stores vs restaurants.

Also, store ribs generally have a much larger cap of meat on them.

Are restaurant ribs specifically sized and trimmed?

Do any of you trim the caps on your ribs?

I've done ribs on my small charcoal bullet smoker without timming the cap, and I try to pick smaller racks because of smaller cooking area.

They've turned out very good, but always have been curious about the differences and wanted some different input.

Thanks.

I always get spare ribs and trim them to St Louis. The trimmings go on the grill with as snacks for the cook.

When I get the right running right I need to get some ribs on. I've been working through older freezer meat but have a bunch of ribs from a cow and a pig I've got in the freezers.
