The advice I give anyone that asks for it is that you have to know your temps to get this figured out....so get yourself a good ambient and meat thermometer(s) and start cooking.
Welcome to the pit - this will be the best tool you have.

3 Weber Performers
1 classic kettle

1 Smoky Joe
1 PBC
4 Thermoworks POPs
2 Dot and 1 Chef Alarm
2 Temp spikes
4 Slo n Sears
1 Smokenator

Ok, nice pick. Ribs are great on the PBC. Don't worry about the temp. Start like it says in the PBC channel and let it go. I do 3 racks all the time. Figure around 3 or so hours. Since its new it will leak around the lid. Try a couple of bricks on the lid if you want. You need to build a nice layer of gunk. You know when ribs are done? Look for the meat pulling back from the end of the bones. I also use a toothpick to probe between the bones, goes in nice and easy, your done. Enjoy and relax. I also like to rotate the racks about every hour. There are spots that will be hotter in the barrel. PBC, PBC, PBC.............!

Don't worry about the temps in the barrel. I stopped putting a probe in the barrel when doing ribs a while ago. Let the PBC do its thing.
Here's the link to the sticky on lighting procedures:
Preparation: To make a foil liner for the bottom of the PBC: Take 2 sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil and crimp them together. Use the lid of the PBC to make an

My biggest piece of advice is don't let those ribs break apart and fall into the coals, they'll cook much quicker on the PBC. I think it's a rite of passage with PBCers, been there myself, but best to not do it. If you're familiar with smoking ribs and when they're done then you'll be better suited to prevent the big fall!
