Question about cooking ribs
Posted on 2/6/15 at 4:54 pm

Let me start off by pissing off the rib connoisseurs by saying I boil the ribs before I put them in the smoker.
Do you peel off the membrane backing before you put them in the smoker?
It seems I read or heard you should this and I have for years. But it can be a pain in the arse and not removing it seems to help the ribs stay together.

Peel membrane every time and wouldn't dare boil meat I am wanting to put a smoke flavor on low and slow.
I peel the membrane by using a knife to pull an edge away and then finish peeling away with a paper towel. Works really fast and easy.
You must do it to speed up the cook time but I would think you don't gain a full smoked flavor???

I read an interesting article from a famous chef who never peels the membrane. He says it helps them stay moist. Most experts though say to remove it.

I do not peel or boil. I like the taste of membrane in the morning.

Peel if you want a fall off the bone rib. Do not peel if you want some bite.
Personally, I'm for the latter.

I rarely remove the membrane.

Maybe it's just me, but I took that as sarcasm.

When that membrane gets crispy and smokey, I love it.

I always peel and have excellent bite using the 2,2,1 method in my Masterbuilt electric smoker.

I guess I'm different. That membrane and those crunchy crispy wing tips are two things I love. 
I can't understand anyone not loving them!

Haha, I was agreeing with you. I love it, too.

For me, if the meat is falling off the bone, what's the point of cooking ribs? Just overcook pork and enjoy.
It's sort of like going to a crawfish boil and having the crawfish already peeled. No fun.
I like that slight pull necessary to get the meat off the bone. Then, I scrape that bone clean with my teeth. So yummy and fun.
