2 Racks Of Ribs #racklivesmatter

[RG 2.0]

I smoked one rack for Mrs. RG on the Smokin-It #3 and I did a rack on the Pit Barrel Cooker. Hers have a newer rub that she's been tinkering with and mine have one of the rubs that came with the PBC (beef & game) and I cooked them for about 3.5 hours and went to check on them to sauce them with a Jack Daniels BBQ sauce I made up this morning and found that they had fallen! Luckily for me, the bar of the charcoal basket kept it from dropping into the coals. I think I got lucky and caught it real soon after it happened. I ended up retrieving them with some tongs and then just applying the sauce and letting it set on the grill grate. Still turned out very good

I am not done there! I also made up some coleslaw and a pot of Brunswick stew, Jalapeno and Bacon Mac & Cheese. Lastly I made up some Texas Toast to go with it all.

No pictures of Mrs. RG's rack, just mine Sorry! I was too busy arranging the photo shoot of my plate to worry about her rack. Ribs of course

Take a gander why don't you?

You hit a home run again RG! Going to start calling you The Babe! That was some good luck with the ribs catching on the bar the way they did. Really enjoy the pics too! How is the temp control on that drum?

First of all, before I answer your question I would like to say that I feel bad for not posting more cooks done on the SI3!! I did make a killer rack on it yesterday for the wife and guess what? I used TQ on those bad boys and had a nice smoke ring, Pork Belly would be proud, lol. I was going to post it as well but I didn't snap a picture and my wife didn't either. Usually she'll take a pic of her plate, oh well!

Now....the temp is basically set it and forget it. The way it is designed is that you set the bottom intake for what elevation you are at, 0-2000 feet above sea level, 2000-?. I am under 2000 so where it was set from the factory is where I left it. The top vents are where the rebar passes though, it's configured to run with those in place with the extra opening around the rebar acting as exhaust vents. It will run in the neighborhood of 275° to 300°. There are ways to lower it and raise it obviously but as designed, lid on, rebar in place it's set it and forget it. I don't want to say TOO much about it on this forum, go to youtube and watch Noah's videos, he's the guy who designed it. It's a fantastic story behind the PBC. He's a soldier who has fought in wars, came home and started this company, he and his wife. I love success stories like his. There is a current lawsuit going on where he is basically suing a company he hired to help him manufacture the PBC and they then began using all of his research to begin making their own similar cooker! DESPICABLE!! That's the MAIN reason I ordered one, to help him out and support a Hero. You can google more about that too if you're interested.

Thanks RG. I'm not in the market just curious as to how it works for you. Looks like you've got the method down pretty good.

For a coal burner, it's about the easiest thing to use that I've owned. It's almost like Lazy-Q lol. You fill your charcoal basket, take out 1/4 of the briquettes and light in a chimney starter, wait 15 minutes, dump them onto the unlit coals and add food at that moment. Close the lid and you're off! On a full basket, it'll burn 8 hours. For a non insulated barrel, that's pretty dang impressive! The chicken I made on it was killer, it's the first thing I cooked on it and I will be doing more for the little "luau" thingy I'm doing in June. The SI will be doing a butt, so it'll get in on the festivities too!
