High Altitude Ribs

[PBC Ellis]

Venturing into first try at St. Louis Style Ribs.  I live at 5900 feet.  I am confused by the various videos that range from a 3 hour cook to as long as 5.

Any thoughts or advice would be welcome.

I am currently at 6100 feet. Your cooks will take a tad bit longer. I have also noticed I do not get the hot burns like I used to get in the flat lands.

Higher altitude equals less oxygen so lower temps in the PBC.

Ambient temps, humidity, etc also are a factor.

Just start checking for doneness at the 3 hour mark. Maybe every 30 after that until they are to your liking.

Thanks Muebe - that was helpful.

Mike,that explains it,Im surprised that hasnt dawned on me earlier.You should try percolating coffee at altitude,doesnt work worth a bit,water boils at lower temps.
