If you are really keen, it is a nice touch to remove the pork ribs membrane from the back of the ribs. This membrane blocks the salt and seasoning from penetrating from the back of the rack. Score the skin along the last bone on the rack and grab an exposed corner of the skin using a paper towel and pull. Might take several tries, but you can do it!
Once you remove the pork ribs membrane is removed it is time to go ahead to dry brine and season your ribs.

This is because of their tenderness and consistent thickness that allows for more even smoking.
