Question about cooking ribs 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???

Thanks! I will try your method of removing the membrane.

I cut the rack into thirds and boil the ribs to speed up the cook time. I then peel off the membrane and put a dry rub on them and place them in zip loc bags for a couple of hours. Placing them in zip loc bags keeps them from drying out. I then place them on the smoker using pecan or apple wood chunks for a couple of hours. The ribs absorb smoke just fine. I have gotten compliments from everyone that has eaten them. Besides, too much smoke gives me heartburn or indigestion these days.
