Was designated to bring food to a party this afternoon, thought it was a perfect time to try out my brand new PBC. I haven't yet tasted the ribs, they're in a cooler right now for transporting, but the PBC held right between 270 and 290 for a 3:15 cook on 2 hanging slabs of spare ribs, untrimmed. I prefer keeping the tips intact as opposed to St Louis cut. Forgot to mention earlier that I'm using the all-purpose rub PBC sent with the cooker. I usually use Memphis Dust, but I thought what the heck.
Got her fired up at about 6:45 using Fzxdoc's lighting tips. Saw some smoke creeping out under the lid, so I threw some binder clips on just in case it helped. May not be necessary at all.
About 2 hours in, had to check them out of curiosity. Not quite ready.
Finished, sauced with about 20 minutes left in the cook. Wrapped each slab individually in foil, wrapped in a towel and put in a cooler to hold until time to eat.
I've done everything but taste them, but I can say I love this cooker. It's all the fun of smoking/cooking with none of the worrying. I even went to the grocery store during the cook, which I couldn't do before when I smoked on my kettle. I'm very happy so far.
