How much do you cut off the ends of your ribs? Those look good. I'm tired of the ends getting crispy on my home growns.
It was pretty full. Almost to the handle. That could explain a lot. I was rushing this morning trying to get things going. From now on will stick to doing one type of meat at a time. Also been fighting wind all day so every time the lid came off to check them the temps really shot up. That LSG looking better all the time LOL.
did ribs today. got the pbc sorted out better than yesterday. it fired up to 380 initially, then settled to 300. i put the ribs in, then used foil to block up the holes on one of the rebar bars. temp went down to 250 and sat there for 3 hours.
ive always done ribs 3-2-1 but the pbc vid shows no wrapping and cook for 3 hours. i checked at 3 hours and they didnt look ready, at 4 hours i pulled them, tasted one which was spot on. sauced them up a bit and put them back in the pbs for 30 more mins. they came out great, but i think the next ones i cook i will wrap them, these were tender but firm, and both the missus and i prefer them a little fall off the bone.
Chow and Sako those ribs look great.
Sako thanks for all the advice. I only opened once about 3 hours to check the ribs since the last ones I did alone took a plunge about that time and that is when I got the temp spike. Our wind was running about 15- 20 MPH today. Burnt up all my briquettes before the shoulder was done so finished it in the oven. Should looked really good when I put it in the cooler. Waiting on my kids to get home from work. Then it will be time to try them out.
Where my pit sets in a wind tunnel. Need to make me a windbreak to set behind and over the top of the PBC. LOL.
