Help wit Rib portions

Can you be a bit more specific. Are they true spares or baby backs. A good reference is most guys can knock off a full slab about 14 to 16 ribs (baby backs). Women can do just fine with a half slab about 7 to 10. Keep in mind that is baby back figures. If they are spares figure one slab per couple as they are more meaty. Throw in a couple more per 5 couples and you should have it nailed.

I always figure 1/2 slab per person. If that is not enough food for a single person, there is always a McDonalds down the street.

Are the ribs going to be the only meat that you will be serving?

I'm having a big 4th of July party too, and I have rationed 3 bones per person, but I am also serving chicken, brats, hotdogs, and smoked sausages.

Sorry,

They are regualr spares. My family of 4 ate 2 racks last time. I'm figuring 15 lbs for 6 adults and 5 teenage children.

Thanks for the replays,

Sorry I didn't get to this sooner.

John asked a good questions, as it will depend on how much "other" stuff there is to eat.

When I do ribs, that's about all I do, so I make more.

"standard ribs" is that full spares or St. Louis trimmed.

Adult males usually 1/2 rack per
Adult females usually 2 or 3 bones.
Kids it depends.

Let us know how the amount/quantity goes for you, might help the next guy asking.

Good luck.
