When you start with spare ribs and cut off the cartiledge side to form St Louis ribs you are left with a strip of meat and cartiledge. Cut this up into small pieces after cooking and you have tips. As far as to how to cook...

Neither, You cut directly at the connection between the bone and the cartilage.
I know there is a video floating around somewhere that shows the proper knifework to trim full spares to STL's Maybe on the TVWB site? Anyone got a link??
It is much easier to show you or for you to see it done than try to explain it in writing.
Flip the rack over so the concave part is facing up, you can easily feel the area with your fingers, draw your finger down that line to feel it, then follow that path with your knife.
In many cases it is more costly to trim your own spares than it is to just order STL trimmed spares, and then order the tips separately.
Some people claim they like the tips more than the ribs, They are quite inexpensive to buy the tips, and a great money maker for an AYCE dinner of tips.
