Wrapping ribs?

[ztm200]

I'm going to cook St. Louis cut ribs on the Pit Barrell for he first time. I was wondering if any of you wrap them for the final part of the cook. I have wrapped them in the past when using a stick burner but I wasn't sure if it was necessary in the PBC. Thanks for the input!

I wrap ribs with my stick burner (karubecue) and do not wrap with the pbc. Pbc does a great job with retaining moisture. Have tried wrapping and definitely prefer running naked on the pbc when it comes to ribs

I am also cooking ribs today (as we speak) on the PBC. Can't say I've ever wrapped ribs when using the PBC, so don't have a comparison, but unwrapped they come out fantastic. Have a great cook!

I just did my first cook on the PBC yesterday. After many years cooking on my BGE and religiously wrapping, i let those babies hang the whole time. They were absolutely outstanding. Just let 'em hang!

I do not wrap when using the PBC.

I do not wrap. ;-)

I do not use a PBC, but I wish you well. They'll be fine ribs for certain!

I've never wrapped ribs cooked in the PBC ... no need ...

[JeffJ]

With my first (and only, so far) cook oh the PBC the baby backs were pull-away tender in 4 hours. No need to wrap IMO.

I have never wapped wibs on my pbc. There, the opportunity was pwesented & I took full advantage of it. I have cooked many a wib & never wapped a one.

Short answer is....NO!

No wrapping it is! Thanks everyone. Im cooking them Memorial Day along with a 15 lb packet so I'll let you know how they go!

One more "no wrap"

Even though the decision is made can't help myself. Just let them hang, they'll be delicious 😋

I have stopped wrapping ribs in my PBC and there is no noticeable difference except the grocery store manager wanting to know why my aluminum foil purchasing is down (just kidding about the last part but I am always amazed, as is my wife, by how much foil and how many paper towels I can go through in a cook).

[Sacred Smoke BBQ]

Agreed. When using PBC I use less of everything. People worry about wasting charcoal in pbc. Well it's not that much nor does it cost a lot. In return, I don't wrap (waste foil), no butter/sugar/honey (cuz no wrap), less cleaning (just hooks), less work and mess period. Plus I stopped using wood

No wrap BUT Daisy chain them hooks! Tell em Spinaker.

[Spinaker]

You got it brother!

This is such an empty feeling when you see this............

I don't wrap, but the last two times I've done ribs in the PBC, when I pulled them to give the bend test and re-hung them, I've dropped a rack into the fire. Didn't bother me, as I scooped them right out, but I guess I'm going to have to start chaining hooks together like I do for my briskets. I'm sure I'll fire some up this weekend. Easiest way to make great ribs, ever.

As the comment above mentions, "Daisy Chain them Hooks!!"
