Another Pork Loin Backribs cook on the PBC

[Huskee]

Great looking ribs! I've been using the PBC for back ribs with very good results all summer. One problem I've been having with back ribs is that the loin meat on the top of the rack often gets too dry while the meat between the bones stays juicy just fine. Does anyone know how to avoid that or is that just a given with back ribs?

What is helpful is to filet the ribs to roughly one standard thickness across, since most butchers leave a lot of that loin meat on to jack up the price of the racks, since ribs reel in more cash than loin. Like you say, if you leave it it will dry out and do nothing except extend your cook time. I have a post here that touches briefly on trimming them if you're interested.

Oh and Welcome to The Pit! When you get a minute, check out Pit Boss' Welcome & Announcements channel, as well as the tips posts in that channel.

Thanks Huskee, I like Apple smoke on pork, great combination

[David Parrish]

Deuce you nailed some PBC ribs!

[Deuce]

Thanks, sounds great. The Marshall does have the advantage of the extra smoking space, might have to splurge lol

[Huskee]

Yep yep yep, great stuff right there. Apple smoke on ribs is my favorite!

I love it! Holds temperatures great and it's very easy to get the temperature up and down and it does it in a quick amount of time. I like the design of them too!

I have to say that my learning curve for this smoker has been shortest time then all the other grills and smokers i've used before. Not to say that I know everything but to pretty much get the spinners and damper exactly how I want it as i'm getting the fire started and typically have to do very few if any adjustments. It took about a full year to say that about my Primo XL.
