Do one rack with it and one with out. And see what you like better. It does help to hold the rack together, but honestly, I would not say that it really matters all that much.

Personally, I love it. I had it on with my beef rib tacos last night. However, it can be a little chewy and some people really do not like it. I guess it comes down to personal preference. Sometimes you need to do your own "research" Do one rack with it and one with out. And see what you like better.

Beef back ribs: Membrane on or off?
Hi folks, first question to the group after my intro post
Got a rack of beef back ribs for smoking tomorrow, and I see conflicting advice out there on the Interwebs on whether to remove the membrane from the bones. A number of people have written to leave it on because it helps hold the rack together given how little top meat is typically present. Others do the removal as one would with pork ribs. The "leave it on" approach also suggests it's easy to deal with at serving time.
Pros and cons? Thanks!
