Epic FAIL(S) with BBs on PBC

[FishTalesNC]

Doesn’t get any more perfect than yesterday!

[FishTalesNC]

I think if I liked them FOtB they’d like them with some bite. Convinced it’s how the universe works. 😂

[FishTalesNC]

Great point about each piece being different. I know that, but didn’t consider it being a factor there!

[FishTalesNC]

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while - I got lucky! Well, except for dousing the oven and hardwood floor in baby back juice. 😜

Can never have too much 100th

You got me at "Beautiful NC Day".

That doesn’t sound like a fail to me. I agree with the others here. Do a 2-1-1 instead, and put them back on the grates instead of hanging, and Bob’s your uncle!

[RonB]

You can still have them both ways. Start your rack 30 min later then the rest. My wife likes FOtB ribs too.

I agree, that thing about fallin in the fire, it’s what they make a hose fer, washin em off.

I was expecting an unmitigated disaster and what I read was mostly success. I can count on that thing below my waist the number of PBC owners who have never had meat fall into the fire. I sure as heck have had that happen. At worst the ribs sound like they were slightly over cooked but were a crowd-pleaser regardless. Pork ribs are tricky because probe thermometers aren’t helpful and every slab is different. Last weekend I cooked 3 slabs of baby backs in my PBC and they took 6 hours. I was expecting 3-4 but they took 6 before passing the bend test.

I think ya over thunk it. Who gives a rip how you feel how the cook went & the ambient temp of anything. Yer loved ones are the only thing that counts & they loved em & devoured em! That is what everbody who joins marvels at after a short while, the raves they get from the fam. That moron guy you talked about has to relax & have fun! It’s a PBC for cryin out loud, a WIB mochine! Eat & enjoy! 🕶

Looks good to me, lately I've cutting the racks in half to avoid any sacrificial ones hanging too close to the fire.

[FishTalesNC]

Weber’s recipe for the hoisin glaze is fantastic!

[jfmorris]

I think that other than the mess you made in the oven, and the sacrifice to the charcoal basket, you had a great cook! The ribs look stellar to me, and I like a little char. The sesame seeds are a nice touch that I will have to try, along with that hoisin sauce.

[FishTalesNC]

Thx all, I think all of you are each right on. Things certainly didn’t go as PLANNED but I learn a heck of a lot more from this kind of experience!
