After my last rib fiasco a few weeks ago, this time I followed the advice of several others here and cut the my racks in half before putting them in the PBC. This allowed me to let them hang for four hours without worrying about them falling into the coals. I seasoned them my own custom rub and pulled them out after four hours, wrapped them in foil and set them in the oven at 200F for another 45 minutes until my friend arrived. They still weren't quite tender enough and since I still had plenty of heat left in the PBC, I put the foiled bundles back in for about another 45 minutes or so. At this point they were just right. Oh, and during that first 45 minutes after I'd removed the ribs from the PBC, I put in six boneless chicken thighs that I'll cut up and use in some other dishes this week. Another successful PBC weekend!
BTW, the final photo of the sliced ribs was taken prior to putting them back into the PBC for their final tenderizing.
