I always pull the membrane if I have the time. I probably leave it on every 4 or 5 racks of ribs just simply due to last minute "let's do ribs" request. Membrane "on" might limit some of the dry-rub/smoke penetration, but it still tastes fine.
Pull it if you have the time, don't worry about it if you don't.
As for trimming - I trim the little odd flaps of meat/meat and any excessive fat.
Good luck!

Thanks for the info. Damn that membrane was tough to get off. Going to put them on in a bit. Will update with pics. Hoping for the best, but have the local pizza places number just in case. Lol.
I find that if I get it started...then grab the loose edge with a paper napkin or paper towel - I get a much better grip when pulling it off.
Thanks guys. I took off what i could and left it at that. Here we go. Ready to smoke
Notice the small pieces, those are going to be a snack in a few hours. Plan is about 4 hours at 275, per chef Jimmy. Then wrap and back in for another 30 to 45 mins. Twice baked potatoes and salad to round it off. Or a large pepperoni pizza. Lol

Most but not all trim the brisket ends off the ribs.
Removing the membrane is much easier if you run it under faucet hot water for about a minute.
Good luck and good smoking.

Here is the finished product. They came out good. Wife, who doesnt like ribs said they were good. Son ate about 3 or 4. The rub i used was a hit and the leftover rub will be going on a tri tip bbq tonight (thanks chef j). Here are a couple of pics

Thank you. They turned out good. Need to get better at trimming and membrane removal. Lol. But it was fun. Good excuse to sit and have a few beers. Lol.
