New PBC owner, and already done two cooks in it. A couple of fat chickens the first time, and had some issues with low temp due to my startup procedure. Last Saturday got it started correctly, and had great results with three racks of SLC ribs, and another chicken. Beef is next !

Welcome to The Pit Bruce! Those are nice looking racks there. I'm wondering if you hadn't already made ribs a few times in your life before getting the PBC
Thanks for filling out the Sig!

Thanks for the welcomes!
I've done ribs a few times in an oven over the years, but never on a BBQ or slow cooker. My first attempt back in July was using the indirect method on the gas grille per the instructions on this site to do 3 racks of baby backs, rubbed with MMD and some homemade sauce added at the end. They were tasty, but dry, and I overheated the sauce. Decided right then and there to order a PBC based on the reviews here and other places out on the interweb.
These came out really good, but I could have used a few minutes less again on the glaze. One rack was really long and was just touching the coals when first hung.

Welcome! What temp were you running? I never get that kind of pullback on mine...I run around 270.

Generally about 260 to 270. It zoomed up to 300 a couple of times when I had opened the lid. I think total time was just about 4 hours, including taking them off to add the sauce. The lid was cracked open for the last 20 minutes or so to try to get the chicken skin crisp, but it also crisped the very bottom of the racks.
