I always brine turkey before I smoke it. I heard pork does well when brined. Anyone brine ribs?

Spice rub the ribs and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the fridge for up to 24 hours. If you slow cook them after, you really get a great crust and they'll fall off the bone.

Baby backs, remove membrane & brine 8-12 hours in a mild salt & sugar solution.

I never do, have had people's who do and can't tell any difference from mine. It's a messy un needed step IMO

Never heard of anyone brining ribs. Ribs are plenty moist enough on their own. They don't need brining.

No, I don't. I'll clean them and remove the membrane then coat with apple juice then usually rub with Sweet Rub 'O Mine and let sit for 30 minutes or so. And I usually wrap my ribs once they get a nice mahogany color.

Please do everyone a favor and pull your ribs 10 degrees sooner.

I don't brine ribs. I dry on a cooling rack in the fridge. Then coat the pellicle in my rub.

As for removing the membrane, if you add just a bit too much heat right at the end you can turn that silver skin into a crispy almost baconlike treat. Tastes too good to remove.

Wouldn't be doing me a favor. I prefer mine falling off the bone. I hate gnawing on a rib bone.

no need to brine them, save the hassle

ribs are very fatty so when you brine its usually for less fatty meats like turkey or chicken.
