Title explains it. I appreciate this cooker as this past weekend it helped me make some of the best ribs I've ever made and eaten. Maybe the appreciation is shown in my profile pic 
I've made ribs on my other smoker, the WSM 18". I've tried a few ways like wrapping with butter or Parkay with brown sugar etc. I've tried smoking lard along with the ribs and wrapped the ribs with lard (those did come out delicious too). I've tried no wrap as well.
I figured since it's been a while that I've cooked ribs and the PBC is a rib and chicken machine I'm going to cook with it.
I cooked 2 racks of St. Louis ribs and 2 racks of baby backs. I used a bulk seasoning I get from a grocery store and I think it's similar to Heath Riles' garlic jalepeno but I use it for most everything I cook, as well as Blues Hog sweet and savory. I spritzed every hour-ish with some 'I Can't Believe it's not Butter' spray (tip from Harry Soo) and just let them ride until the 'tear test' passed, something I saw from a Heath Riles video. That took about 3.5 - 4 hours. After they passed this I diluted some Sweet Baby Ray's with some ACV as I was on a bit of a time crunch and didn't have the time to make my own sauce, and I gave the racks a good portion of that sauce and wrapped in foil and let them rest, meat side down, for about 20 minutes or so (something I saw Goldee's BBQ does with their ribs).
These ribs were phenomenal! Every person who had them said those exact words. Perfect bite through, not falling off the bone but your bite left no meat on the bone. I wish I took pictures but we were too busy cleaning the bones.
The PBC really was the hero in this cook. I started the ribs and actually left the house for 1.5 hours and wasn't anxious to get back at all. I ended up hooking the ribs lower (more toward the center) than usual to keep them a little further from the coals and that really helped. The PBC chugged along and turned out a great product! PBC rib machine FTW!
