A lot to read and understand but works great once you have the knowledge. Just a few quick tips. I do ribs all the time, double hook for safety, St Louie or babbybacks usually take about 3 hours so forget the 3-2-1 one thing on the PBC. Most important thing is to get your fire started correctly. This barrel likes to run around 280*. Don't try to get it down to 225*. New barrels usually leak around the lid. This is normal until you build up a nice layer of soot. Put a couple of bricks on the lid.
One last thing. You know when ribs are done? I look for the meat pulled back from the end of the bone and when I probe the meat between the bones with a toothpick it should go in nice and smooth, like melted butter. Enjoy!
