Thanks for any help,Nudib

Here is a video from Youtube. You may want to search for other meats to see if there are more videos available. Good luck.

Will leaving the membrane on increase storage time?

Won't effect the storage time, but by removing the membrane from the bone-side of the ribs will allow better smoke penetration.

Most commercial rib places leave the membrane on 'cuz it isn't cost effective to remove as it is a bit time consuming especially when you have lots of ribs to prep.

What Dutch said. In the restaurant we always removed them though.
