Second time doing ribs on the PBC this time I dry brine for 2 hrs before cooking, got all the ingredients for meatheads Memphis dust, place a layer of rub on it and on the PBC they went, I open up the lower vent as recommended for my altitude and let it rip, they cooked at around 275-280 for 4hrs and added some applewood but forgot to add the second round of wood. I liked the bark and how they slip out the bone with a small tug. I liked how this tibs came out better than my first time, only thing I would change is add some more rub.

To me ribs are like pizza from the point that everyone has their own idea what is the perfect pizza or in this case the perfect rack of ribs. So the bottom line is what do you like? Make them the way YOU like them. But these look as good as any I’ve ever made. Nicely done.

The PBC is a real rib machine ! Yup, maybe a bit more rub, but it looks like you got the double hook thing figured out. Not good finding half your rack of ribs lying on top of the charcoal basket !

I just can't add to another man's ribs that would make me ask for seconds and thirds, and you've done at least that. I'm going to try a full rack split in half tomorrow, and done in a rectangular custom grill. St Lou style cut. If I get anything close to what you have here, I've over-achieved.
Those are really meaty. I never really know looking at pics - baby backs versus trimmed spares. St Lou style is trimmed meaty spares. Where'd / how'd you go about getting those? That would be helpful info for me...
I'll setup two zones with a water bath under the ribs tomorrow - I don't have a PBC yet but plan on building my own.

What's the question? How do you get St Louis cut ribs?
Or where you get meaty baby back ribs?
I'll just answer what I think your questions are.
When I buy baby backs - they moslty run from 2.5-3ish lbs. Lately I've been seeing "meatier" ones running 3.5 even 4 lbs!
What they're doing is leaving more loin meat on the ribs. The loin meat can get dry.
If I buy baby backs, I try to get them close to 2.5lbs
For St Louis cut I compare prices at the grocery to decide if I'm buying full spares and cutting them, or buying St Louis cut.
Today, SLCs were $4/lb meanwhile full spares were $2/lb. So I'd get the full spares and cut them into SLCs. There's lot of good videos to show you how.
I've also gone into the store and seen SLCs in sale and cost less than full spares. Then I but the pre cut SLCs.
As far as where to get them, I get them from my Kroger or HEB. They both have a "natural" labeled pork ribs. I think the HEB SLCs are a little better.
If you go to a real butcher shop you can get heritage breeds...... But that's pretty high cotton for this ol boy.
A 2 zone set up with a water pan, and foil packets of wood chips works pretty well. I've done tons that way for a long time.

Look good! Makes me hungry! Thank goodness I got 3 racks of St. Louis spares at Costco a couple of days ago.
P. S. Those look like baby backs to me based on the shape and size.
P. P. S. Can’t use too much rub for me!
