re: Smoked Baby Back Ribs

I smoke my ribs in a MB as well. I remove the membrane and rub with McCormicks Brown Sugar Bourbon and a little garlic powder. Refrigerate for an hour or up to a day. Smoke with Jack Daniels Oak chips @250-270 until the meat starts to pull back from the bone at the end. I will start testing at that point using the bend method others have mentioned about every 30 minutes or so. Pull when it starts cracking. Place them in a double layer of foil. I add a bit of Apple juice, apple cider vinegar, and Parkay Margarine to the ribs and seal tightly. Then place them in a cooler with towels above and below for about an hour or until we are ready to eat. Go very light on the vinegar, just a splash or so.
Another way is to do the same as above until the meat is ready to take off the smoker. I will fire up my charcoal grill and sear some BBQ sauce on for a different taste and texture profile. Depending on the number of racks, I have been known to do both at once for variety. There are never any leftovers.

Why are there so many downvotes in this thread? The recipes all seem reasonable and they are pretty consistent with minor variations.

Removing the membrane does not take that long if you have half a clue what you are doing

It's the internet. You could throw a virtual rock in any direction and hit 20 "experts" in any discussion that think their's is the only right way. Especially in cooking. The Comic Book Guy of food .

Could also be the OT infiltrating the food board.

It's possible. I normally don't even look at the likes or dislikes anymore. Food, and how to prepare it, is HIGHLY subjective.

Well, you don't normally see people calling other people "lazy fricks" or "ignorant" on the food board.

I do mine pretty much the same except I Hate ribs that have been wrapped and sauced with sugar and butter, no need and they over cook, baby backs take about 3 hours max and I cook at 280 to 300 on a big green egg. After they are almost done I shut down the BGE and let them sit after I paint them withSalt like Bar bQue sauce. This adds a shineny glaze an doesn't change the flavor of my home made Rub. I remove the membrane and rub on the meat side only. These have a bite that pulls off to a clean bone.
Rub, mustard sit for 24 hours, smoke at 280-300, turn every 30 min, mist with ACV and beer after the first hour, paint then shut down. Easy.

They all lurk ..
pulled membrane, seasoning and mustard. 275 on the kamado until it passes the bend test. No wrapping.

I use a paper towel to grab the membrane and pull it off works great. When wanting sweet I rub with steens syrup when not sweet Frenches mustard. They both get a liberal dusting of Cajun seasoning. I use natural lump charcoal keep them around 225 to 250 for 2 or 3 hours I am ole country boy simple so when the meat starts pulling back exposing the bone I pull them. let them rest then cut them up if we want bbq they get sauced then placed in the oven for a few minutes I like my ribs cooked to where if you take a bite it leaves the bite mark behind and pulls off easily. really dont like them over cooked like BBQ joints often do. I figure thats from hours under the heat lamps

You absolutely do.

Have you had ribs with the membrane on? Now compare that to when you had them off. What did you think?

It’s funny all the downvoted fir people’s opinions on ribs. Great ideas I will put to good use.
Posted on 2/7/20 at 8:41 am to Dale Doubak
I prefer membrane off. They're done when the meat is retracting back from the end of the bones. It's pretty easy to see once you've smoked ribs a time or twelve.
