Daughter’s Choice - BBs on the PBC

[FishTalesNC]

It’s been a while since we’ve done babybacks (her favorite), and after showing her Noah’s Award Winning Ribs video on the PBC website she declared "I want to do them EXACTLY like he does!" Alrighty then... we had 3 racks that we prepped and rubbed last night around 5pm. Two got the PBC Beef & Game rub, one rack got the 3-layer salt/heat/sweet rub combo I’ve been tinkering with. Oddly enough, next to eating them this is her favorite part.



A little after noon today I did a 15/10/10 lighting of the PBC. 15 because the PBC chimney seems a little slower than the Webers. Five min before the PBC was ready I took the racks out of the fridge and got the hooks in them.



I got them on the PBC at 12:45pm. Also had a head of garlic on there in a cast iron roaster. I cut the top off and got olive oil, salt and pepper all down in it.



The garlic came off after an hour. Really tasty.



My wife used several cloves and made up a batch of Italian bread sipping spices. We munched on this while we waited.



At 2:45pm I put on a batch of Noah’s Barrel Beans - again just like he makes them, except my wife only put one red onion in there, not two. At 3:15 I checked the ribs and they were ~180F IT and the meat was pulling back pretty well, so I went ahead and sauced them up. Used KC Masterpiece - because that’s what Noah used. 😬 This is what they looked like at 3:20pm, the top one is the 3-layer rub.


At 3:30pm they were back on with the beans.



I let lthem go 30 more minutes. They were probe tender in spots, but not everywhere. But the pull back was significant enough I was convinced they were ready and concerned about overcooking so I took them off.



They sat wrapped in foil in the oven at 170F for an hour. Company is an hour late, they better hurry. Stole a bite, the bark is outstanding, really happy with my first attempt at ribs on the PBC. 👍🏻

Those look fantastic my friend. Well done

[Mr. Bones]

Beautimous BBRs, an a Great Write Up, Brother!

Looks like She / Yall knocked one clean over th fence! Especial, first time out on th PBC!

I mean, Hail, yall even included some beans*, to warm this ol warhorse's heart even further!

Questions/Comments Dept:

Comment: As always, yer young lady is a scene stealer... (If ya don't already own a long gun, or shotgun, reckon I'd start scrimpin, savin, or jus gittin me one, here, directly!)

Question: Since she obviously has such an affinity, an talent fer cookin, mightn't ya oughtta git her a box of rubba glubba, an teach her all bout th Clean Hand /Dirty Hand technique? (Jus a thought, makes cleanup, an transition to other prep work, etc. faster / easier... )

Question: Where'd ya git yer cute lil CI garlic roaster from? Findin myself a hankerin after one o those lol!

Question: If it ain't a trade/propriearty secret, I'd love to hear more bout yer "the 3-layer salt/heat/sweet rub combo I’ve been tinkering with" treatment. Always love testin out different spices, an I'm almost always cookin me up some ribs.

*Question*: Would like to hear more details bout yer smoker beans, as well, if'n ya'd be so kind...

Question: How'd yall like th KC Masterpiece? It ain't bad sauce, by any means, an I ain't much of a sauce kinda guy...reckon I'd might put some Blues Hog into th rotation, see what She thinks of that, if She leans t'wards saucin... If she thinks it sux, tell her it was My Bad, made ya do it!

Comment: Beans look good enough fer me to come offa th High Dive, smack dab into th middle of!

Compliment: Ribs have excellent colour, bark, juicy, an I'd haveta overhaul (got mine on, right now) rate em as "Off Th Hook", despite th potential unintended pun...

Nothing cooler than seeing a little girl helping cook ribs.. they are my daughter's favorite.. I cooked a groom's dinner once where we did 15 racks of bbrs and two 20 lb pork butts.. watching the astonisment on my friends faces when I laid out all the ribs and told my 4 year old daughter to go ahead and rub them. She did it all by herself but had about 20 grown men asking her questions.. she has requested "wibs" for her birthday since she was two.. tell her they look perfect!!

[FishTalesNC]

Thank you, I definitely will! Love getting the little girls involved and rockin’ it!

[jecucolo]

Very cool. I used to cook with my girls. Miss those days! But I do have some grandkids I hope to cook with. Food looks great but the roasted garlic is a scene stealer!

[Backroadmeats]

Had to go back and see if I could find the picture.. damn she was little!!

[Backroadmeats]

She couldn't reach to rub them so someone got her a chair!!

[Mr. Bones]

Thanks fer sharin this Classic Moment with us, Brother!
Full dose of Warm n Fuzzies, here!

(Started on a kitchen chair, my dang self... )

[Backroadmeats]

I hear ya buddy.. when my dad first let me cook the steaks for opening fishing I had to stand on a chair..

[Donw]

Love it when I see BBQ skills being passed on, and great food as the result.

[EdF]

They look great!

[FishTalesNC]

Thanks Mr. Bones ! Funny you should bring that up, her best friend came over and we had a talk with BOTH of them at the dinner table about boyfriend expectations and ramifications if expectations are not met. For when they have those first dates in, you know... 20 years. 😬

Youre 100% right about the gloves. I have a box of XXL I’m using, and I help her out during the process so she isn’t cross contaminating. But I like your idea better, it’s even safer and she’ll totally dig having her own, I’ll be searching for kid size here tonight.

That CI garlic roaster was a gift, you can find it on amazon here. First time I’ve used it, kinda cool. Looove me some garlic!

The 3-layer rub thing is something a friend of mine was telling me about. He told me about Grillbillies BBQ and they are teachers and advocates of that method. Basically it’s just "white/red/brown" or "salt/heat/sweet" in that order. I’ve visited their store and they’ll offer suggestions and let you sample any rubs they have until you come up the ones you like the best. I went home with Heath Riles Everyday Rub, Obie-Cue’s Gatorbreath, and Butcher BBQ Honey Rub. That rack was the runaway winner btw. PBC rubs are good too tho.

The beans were just off the PBC website - Barrel Beans. I hesitate to say so to a bean connoisseur, but my lord those were the best beans I’ve ever had and it’s not close. We did use 3-4 cloves of that fresh roasted garlic (calls for one), and only 1 red onion (calls for two), but the only other thing we think could make it better is a bit of molasses. Oh, and we used a 22oz can to start, he calls for 16oz. I mean I think I’m having them for breakfast tomorrow.

The KC Masterpiece was just to make her happy THIS TIME, ha. In the pork rib video on the PBC website that’s what he uses, and she insisted on doing these just as in the video. I’m still working on her BBQ sauce pallet, but she loves sticky sweet and it was that. I’ve tried the Blues Hog Tennessee Red on pulled pork and it was outstanding, I should just get some of their original you’re right!

I’ll be looking out for pics of your ribs! 👍🏻

[FishTalesNC]

Given all the help I get here, the least I can do is share what little I know Mr. Bones ! And I’ve seen some "Bones Beans", and recently, that made me wish I had a spoon that could reach clear thru my screen! 👍🏻

[Mr. Bones]

Thanks fer yer kind words, Brother!

I truly appreciate yer knowledge, an willingness to share with others.

Glad ya enjoyed my bean cooks; it woulda been better, yet, if ya'd been here, to have some!

Yer always welcome, at my Table!

(Hi, yall...umm...my name is Bones, an, well, uhhh, I have a Bean Problem...

Oh, it started out, simple enough, but afore I could barely bat an eye, I was up to several bowls a week, if not more

This was before I could walk, BTW

[Potkettleblack]

If she loves sticky sweet, the Blues Hog will be her jam. I could see using it as a dessert topping.

[Fire Art]

Teach them right

[HawkerXP]

Very nice! In multiple ways. Thanks for sharing.

[RonB]

Very tasty lookin' ribs. How did your daughter like them?

[FishTalesNC]

She and her best friend loved them RonB, mission accomplished! 👍🏻

[RonB]

Then it was a very successful cook.

[FireMan]

My favorite part also, gettin my hands in it! Very cool!

[Henrik]

What a nice story, and great cook, I bet those ribs tasted fantastic!

[fzxdoc]

Good story, great photo of the little pitmaster, and delicious looking ribs. Congrats!

I second Mr. Bones suggestion for some gloves for your little cutie pie. I'm going to search some out as well for the little hands in our family as well. It's hard to get those little hands really clean like we do our own.

Edited to add: I just found some on Amazon. They look like they may do the trick:

[FishTalesNC]

Awesome, thanks fzxdoc ! Just showed them to her and she said "Awesome, pitmaster gloves!" 😂 Ordering now...

[Mr. Bones]

Nice sleuthin, Kathryn!
