I feel the membrane is one of those things that some do and some don't. Smoked and grilled a few racks of Babies yesterday. Left the Brane on. I will say, My ribs are literally some of the best anyone will taste. Took me several years to…
I have a real small pairing knife i slipp between a the membrane and a few ribs to lossen them up and then I pull the membrane with a paper towel. I also have a good butcher who pulls them for me at the store sometimes if they are not backed up.

We ALWAYS remove the membrane. We also put ribs on a cookie sheet with some water on it and bake them in the oven in the house before putting them on the grill, or on the spit. Ribs need to be cooked slowly.....they are always great, especially with…
