What is your opinion

[WeberBlackStoneYoder]

What are your thoughts on smoking ribs with the membrane or silver skin not being removed, Thanks

 

[BigW.]

I remove it, personal preference.

 

[chopsaw]

I don't take it off . This was talked about not to long ago , and seemed like many leave it on .

 

[SmokinEdge]

I leave it on baby backs but I remove it on spares or St. Louis.

 

[TNJAKE]

I remove it on pork and beef ribs

 

[chef jimmyj]

On...Mostly because Im too lazy to mess with it but, it does not seem to make a difference, on or off, in the quality of the finished ribs...JJ

I usually leave on. Can put it on a hot grill afterwards and only takes a minute to burn it off. I just do St Louis ribs now a days. When my freezer empty of these may switch to spares, cut to St Louis and save cut off part to make taco's like someone posted recently.

 

[TuckersBarbeque]

Off. I don't like the texture and it blocks salt/spice from getting to the meat.

 

[Texas Cookin']

I always remove but mainly because I don't like having to bite though it. Just a personal preference.

I keep it on, then take it off when the ribs are done. It just pulls off real easy then. You will be surprised on how much juice is under the membrane. Here is what I’m talking about.

Same. BB's I try and if there is any trouble I skip it. which is usually the case.

I take the membrane off as well. Unless its being a PITA and I get tired of messing with it!

 

[smokerjim]

Sometimes I take it off sometimes I dont, personally I dont see much of a difference either way.

Things like this are all debatable. In the end, the difference will be small and other things make a much larger impact on your overall results. IE my ribs MUST be grilled after smoked. BIG flavor impact.

Thanks for all the reply's.

 

[HalfSmoked]

I take if off don't like the feel in my mouth if left on.

It gets 5 minutes. After that, I guess I'm eating membrane.

 

[chopsaw]

Well , now I don't know what to do . I think I'll peel half , and leave half .
