    St Louis style ribs, do you remove the membrane

    on the back of the rack or leave it on? I have seen both recommended, some saying that leaving it on helps hold the rack together on long cooks. so what do you do, I am getting ready to do several racks, and just checking thoughts here. thanks

    Brisket via Sluggo & thanks for the help (pics)

We had about 20 people over for a party, with some complaining about a brisket they had at some restruant somewhere and the brisket was bad, so I thought I'd give it a try...

    last night Bobby Flay had a rib throw down,

    I have a couple of questions: it was with a Mitchell guy from Raleigh NC, the Pit, IIRC, he said he used a 'Carolina rib', as a cut as opposed to a ST Louis etc. A Carolina cut appeared to me to be , just what you get in the cryovac at Sam's before you trim it St Louis style. Anyone care to...
