Hi, have had it several months but have only done 2 cooks. Lit it exactly according to instructions. First was St. Louis Ribs, some spots were tender some were not. Next was a pork butt. Same thing, some spots were tender some were not and the meat had a red color in some spots. I have cooked both on the kamado with excellent results so even though it is a different cooker it is not like I have no clue. Anyone else had issues on the PBC cooking even?

No. There is one vent, so there is an obvious burn progression throughout the basket. I've cooked 2 racks of ribs, on up to 5 briskets. Better than expected results.
What is your elevation and vent setting?

I know this may sound a little like finger pointing, but did you hang those cooks? I know for me, stepping over into the world of hanging meat took a leap of faith and I've read of people having problems when they just use the rack included with the PBC. You probably did hang, but thought I'd just ask.
Keep trying, I think you'll figure this out.
