Preparation: To make a foil liner for the bottom of the PBC: Take 2 sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil and crimp them together. Use the lid of the PBC to make an
Thanks for that, I'd forgotten about it. I will bookmark it.
About 10 minutes ago, I took the lid off to rotate the racks and the temp has now settled in at 298*. It did not go back to 350*. That's really strange.
This cooker made some dam good ribs. A different flavor. Much darker than I usually smoke. I wrap when they get a mahogany color. Went three hours even and that may've been a bit too long.
This forum saved me a rookie mistake. I learned here to double hook the meats and I had a rack pull off the first hook.
That is some good pull back! It just occurred to be that the PBX probably has an advantage on ribs over the PBC. The ribs should hang higher in the PBX's barrel, thus keeping the bottoms from getting too dark.
That is a lot more pull back than I get on my offset or GF ribs.
The bottoms were scorched. And the end bone was crispy, but good. They do cook differently hanging over direct heat. I saw a YT vid, a guy not only rotated the ribs, but he had hooks in both ends and flipped them over. IDK bout that. After what I saw yesterday, I'd be afraid of the hooks pulling out on the thin end.
At $150, I bought this to be a direct heat chicken cooker . I've got choices to smoke ribs now
Doing the next day autopsy, I'm very surprised at how little charcoal I burned. And it burned fairly evenly in all directions, maybe a little more toward the bottom vent. All of my pecan skinny splits burned completely.
