First cook on my PBC

Those ribs look great!

PBC, PBC, PBC!

Great looking ribs. Never heard anyone have ribs fall off the hooks. I have a PBJ.

I knew the ribs were close to the tenderness I wanted but being the first cook on the PBC I was hesitant to let them go too much longer because I was afraid of then tearing off the hooks and falling into the coals. I wasn't expecting them to even go 6 hours because I read that the PBC runs at a higher temp than what I typically smoke at on my offset. But there were a couple points where I lost temp because it seemed like the coals weren't burning efficiently on one side and I should have cracked the lid open a little to resolve the issue. But that's the fun of what we do, we learn a little something each time we cook.

As for my next cook on the PBC, since we are getti g close to that time of year, I think I'll use
My turkey hangers and do a Thanksgiving test run.

I yellow mustard as a binder, then used my homemade general purpose BBQ rub and my homemade honey Chipolte rub on then. Glazed them with my Whiskey Green Apple Jalapeño sauce.

Ribs look great! I really like the color you got on them. What brine and what rub(s) did you use on them?

[Sid P]

From here it looks like you nailed it! Look up Meathead’s bend test for checking rib tenderness.

The PBC is definitely a rib cooking machine but does a pretty good job on chickens, pork butts and turkey breasts also...

I'm a thinkin that was a short learning curve, those cooks look fantastic

[Thomassen]

Those ribs look delicious. Congratulations on a successful first cook.

[holehogg]

Look first class to me. I don't mind a bit of rib tug.

[FireMan]

Outstanding lookin cook! And yes it is a Wib mochine! Try some spares in it.

The ribs look great, and I bet they ate good despite the fact that you think they needed more time in the PBC. It's a fun cooker, that little barrel.

What's next? Chicken?
