Ribs & Texas Crunch method

[MichaelJB]

Hey all, I'm wondering how you all are using your PBC with more than a couple of racks of ribs IF you're also following a Texas Crunch method. You can hang way more ribs than fit on top of the grate once you wrap them. Does it matter if they are stacked on top of each other after you wrap them? I've let them hang for the full smoke but have also had them fall off the hook! Suggestions?

When I first read the post a million smart ass remarks came to mind, but I knew if I waited someone would pipe in. Thanks for stepping up to the plate.

If you're going to Crutch them just place them in the oven.

Crunch. .... Crutch .... The light slooowly dawns in my brain ....

Oh, geeze, so this means I don't hafta search madly around for the Texas Crunch method?

Whew!

I don't have a PBC, but a lot who do will double hook 'em. And as Jerod said, after several hours of smokin' you can put them in the oven.
I wouldn't stack them though. That will prevent even heating.

No PBC here, but I never wrap ribs and am extremely happy with my results.

No PBC here eiher, I've started doing ribs both ways half crutched and half uncrutched????, is that a word.
Mostly cause some like ribs dryer, some moister.
Seems to please everyone.

For years I roughly followed a 2-2-1 method but in the past 3 years I’ve abandoned that method and cook Memphis style dry ribs. If my kids want sauce I just do that at the end. I find my desired texture and pull is perfect and rarely ever mushy. My pbc is perfect for my rib style. But, as mentioned above, you can start on pbc and finish in oven.

I too was doing 3-2-1 or 2-2-1 for many years, but gave it up since hanging around on the Pit.

ComfortablyNumb Who's joking. I'd love some beef flavored breakfast cereal.
