I just recently saw a guy on TV say that he never removes the membrane before smoking ribs, (I always had but decided to try it his way), His point was that rub on the bone side of the rack is not going to reach much meat, (Obviously true), and that the membrane pulls off much more easily after cooking. After trying it I can't find a strong argument against his method so don't stress over not pulling the membrane.
so I should have came here first before proceeding but anyway I am going to smoke some ribs tom. and a deer loin. I was researching on how to prepare ribs etc and have decided im going to do the 321 method and before putting the rub on them I was going to peel off the "film" on the ribs and could find no such thing, never messed with ribs before so I didn't quite know what to look for but anyway couldn't find anything so I just went ahead on and put rub on them and got them ready. these were pre packaged at the grocery store is it possible they did this already or am I gonna be sorry for what I did lol? does anyone know what the IT should be on deer meat? loin particularly
