Do regular pork spare ribs have the membrane like baby backs do that need to be removed prior to smoking ?

Ive cooked baby backs for years and always removed the membrane on the backside. Not sure if spare rib racks have the same thing or not.

Yep! The membrane on spare ribs are harder to take off. I found a new use for my pliers.

Some people cook their ribs with the membrane on but I find that they are tougher.
