Sounds like a silly question but I'm a bit confused. So which is it? I'm leaning toward curve (bone) bone down unless I hear otherwise in the next 30 min. (9:35 EST) and the smoker is just about ready. I'm also going naked!! Well the ribs are, not me. Wish me luck and pics will follow!!

Thanks all! Yes I did bone down but had a last minute scare by reading something (not here) that advised otherwise. Silly girl - I strayed away from the grail. It won't happen again. And yes I removed membrane and trimmed them to st loui myself. Fun with knives!!
