First ribs on PBC

[Harvard75]

Pork spare ribs on the PBC this afternoon. Ran a little hot at first--over 300. Used KBB and a couple chunks of apple. Got it down to about 280 and drifting lower for the rest of the approx 3 hour cook, including 1/2 hour for barking. Came off at Meathead's magic number, 203. Yummy! God Bless the PBC. So far I've done 1/2 chickens and two pork butts. We're planning a big sausage cook, whole variety of sausages, for Fathers Day.

I still remember the first bite of ribs on my first PBC cook. Wow!!

Same here. It was the first thing I ever cooked on the PBC and it was a top-5 rib cook of all time for me. Wow is right.

I too remember my first ribs out of my PBC. So juicy and flavorful. Congrats on this great cook and many more to come.

Ribs seem to be magical on the PBC...but after having mine for a few years I still don't understand the focus on initial temps in the drum. The PBC was my 4th smoker (and only one other I still use regularly [the other one only gets used for big crowds, in truth]), and the others pretty much demanded that I track temps and keep them below 300 and fed regularly: the PBC? In the words of Sgt. Hulka, "lighten up, Francis". The PBC does its own thing in its own way, so worrying about temps is like trying to train a cat to fetch a newspaper: you might succeed but its not really necessary for a happy and successful household.

Sorry....new here... what's a PBC?? Results look amazing

Pit Barrel Cooker. You see a box with it to the right side of the page on most pages here...

I know you have a Weber kettle. The Pit Barrel Cooker is a good dedicated smoker if you ever decide you need more space than the kettle offers.

Uh-oh - an MCS baby has been born!

Haha,,,,got it!

[jfmorris]

The PBC would satisfy your dedicated slow cooker needs for about half the cost of a low end pellet smoker... then you can add the pellet smoker later anyway! Http://pitbarrelcooker.com
