Second PBC cook of ribs was perfect! Knowing that from the last cook they were a bit faster than I was expecting, we opened up and checked at two hours. They were ready for sauce, and with another 20 or 30 minutes we had a great feast. Since the
coals were still hot, I tossed some sausages on, and we will have leftovers for a few more days.
I was at a restaurant supply place and found a 16" round metal pan with a very small lip. It fit perfectly in the bottom of the PBC and I figured it would be a good ash catcher. Of course then I couldn't get it out without tilting the barrel. So I used a long sheet of heavy duty foil folded over a couple of times and made a sling, kind of like what some people do to get a turkey out of the roasting pan. When the cooker was cool, the pan and ashes came out very easily.
I still don't consider myself a pro, but I think I am ready to have some friends over for a cookout without poisoning them!
