I've been using gutless for about 25 years. I just figured it out on my own. I find it much easier and faster if you're alone. Which I always am.

How is added gutting to the process not slower? Not to mention the mess.

Big differnce is by time ribs are sawn to get at the tenders its as fast to have the animal internals completly gone not to mention flipping one over is easier. For me its a toss up niether take me anywhere close to 2 hours to accomplish either way..

I used to cut ribs to get to the loins, but after awhile I just started to reach in with a small knife and could cut them out. It's tricky if you don't know what you're doing, but practice makes it easier.

I got tired of dealing with the gut sack. Even if gutless wasn't faster i'd probably still do it.
