One thing a lot of people do not do, when making ribs, is to remove the membrane on the back side. Boiling the ribs tenderizes this membrane, but by removing it before smoking, you can reduce the smoking time and still have tender ribs.

BTW, I'm not 'fighting' with you, to each their own, but when it comes to good Bar b Que, boiling is a cardinal sin, IM(NS)HO!

I will be smokin up a big batch for 12 on Wednesday!

No, you’re not being pugnacious, just set in your ways like me. How do you cut that darn membrane off? Cut and pull? That sounds like too much trouble. Maybe the butcher would do it for me.
