I thought the membrane hindered smoke absorption. Is this wrong? Plus it's really chewy. I always peel it off.
No.Does anyone ever use the membrane that you cut off from spare ribs for anything?
The membrane is made of elastin and is not digestable in the human gut, why do you eat it?The last few times i've smoked spare ribs i've cut the membrane off. But, i still rub it & smoe it for 2- 2 1/2 hours. It's a nice litlle snack for the family.
I did not know that. It taste good, but with this knowledge i think i'll pass. Thanks!The membrane is made of elastin and is not digestable in the human gut, why do you eat it?

Interesting choice of words! Yes it is Elastin and therefore indigestible but there is no reason to stop eating it if you enjoy it because..." It shall PASS Too! " In about 12-24 hours...JJI did not know that. It taste good, but with this knowledge i think i'll pass. Thanks!
