Turbo Ribs FTW

Last night after reading several threads I tried my hand at some "Turbo Ribs". I bought a rack of baby backs at Krogers for $13. Put them on the rib rack and set the DigiQ for 350 and let em go for 2 hours. 10 minutes before I pulled them I rubbed them with some sauce. I was very impressed with these ribs. Actually much more tender than the ribs I cooked for 5 hours at 250 a couple of weeks back.
One note: I really suck at getting that membrane off the back of the ribs. Any tips?

Never tried turbo ribs but getting the membrane off is not too bad if you slide the handle of a teaspoon (real one) along a middle-ish bone. Get your index finger through the pocket, close your thumb on the index and pull. Spares are tougher than baby backs

My method is go to the third bone in from the small side, pry up the membrane and use a paper towel or your hands to remove in both directions.Edina, MN

The paper towel is key. I just grab the edge with that. If it starts ripping on you - just work slowly and pull from the areas that are falling behind.

Clean ones that haven't been used on your car or god knows what.

Here's something I came across that help me remove the membrane. Take a nice sharp knife, and lightly run it along the membrane at the deepest part of the rib curve. Cut thru deep enough to get down to the bone. Then, towel in hand, peel up or down from the center. Works way better than trying to pull the whole thing off from the edges. Usually makes 4 smaller section of membrane.

I like the butter knife, slide under and roll the membrane on the blade and pull. 10 seconds.

Steve sails got it right. Costco carries Swift brand BB racks. Typically, 3 to a pack. Great deal.

Ideally you would remove only the top membrane and leave the bottom one one to hold the bones. Wouldn't it be "faster" to simply leave it on?

taking the membrane off is either incredibly easy, or incredibly hard. if hard, you are doing it the wrong way.
there are two membranes. each rib has a mmbrane/sheath around it like the finger of a glove. there's then mea between and over top all of the bones, and then there's a membrane (the one we care about) over top of the meat.
if you jab a fork or knife down clean to the very bone, from the end of a rib, and try to lift up that membrane, you are going to waste your time. that one is the one around the bone.
i use a small paper towel or napkin, and use it to pinch the top surface, where our membrane is, at an outside corner. peel and pull. that's it. it's thin.
if you are jabbing and stabbing and trying to get to clean bone, you are gonna go nowhere
smitty: there's only one membrane, on the inside pleural cavity-side of the meat. outside is muscle
