Rib Membrane

THANKS everyone for the advice on smoking ribs.[p]Now I have another question for you. I was at the only butcher shop I know of where I live. I was checking out the ribs. I'll be picking them up on Saturday for the cook on Sunday. I mentioned removing the membrane and the butcher said he doesn't remove them when he barbeques ribs. He acted like it was an old wives tale and said not to bother with it. Do you recommend I remove the membrane on beef ribs. [p]THANKS again for all the help![p]Joe

Alpine Angler,
YES! Tell him to remove the membrane, they reweigh the ribs.[p]Mike

Alpine Angler,[p]Doesn't make a lot of difference with backs but it really does with spares. I always remove them for both.[p]Steve

Alpine Angler,[p]Most here remove them. My butcher will remove them for me if he has not done so before packaging. Your butcher may be lazy. LOL (:~[p]Good Luck,

Alpine Angler,
Kinda like wearing a rain coat in the shower and then wondering why you didn't get wet! Yes, I remove the membrane. Ever feel and examine that stuff? Regardless of the arguments that may be thrown out tonight IMHO I think it needs to be removed to let the rub do the proper flavoring to the meat - not against the slippery body cavity membrane.

Alpine Angler,[p]Yes...definitely! Here's a link to show you how just in case you need it. The link below is for spares and how to trim them "St. Louis" style as well as removing the membrane.[p]JD

thirdeye,[p]I've done over 300 racks solo at night after working hard all day. I'll never feed anyone a rib that's not had the membrane peeled. It does get easier with experience [p]Konrad

Alpine Angler,[p]Its easy to remove. I always ask myself if I want to season the membrane or the meat? Once removed you are seasoning meat and that's the whole point.[p]Remove it my good fellow![p]Cheers!
