My first cook..
« Reply #-1 on: December 06, 2014, 09:32:00 PM »
Hey there,

   So I took the plunge and did my first cook today.   A few friends wanted ribs, so we did two racks and they came out great.
Next time,  I'm going to leave them in the pit for another 1/2 hour but I'm really impressed with the PBC.   It's awesome.  :-)

   It was about 40 degrees with light rain outside.  Total cook time was 3:20.

Thanks.  I'm still trying to figure out how to gauge done-ness.    Is there an internal temp I should be shooting for to hit tender but not falling off the bone?

With ribs I don't really check IT temp. I give a rib bone a twist, from that you can tell how close you are. Generally when the meat starts shrinking on the bone you're getting close. But it's all a personal opinion.

Nice looking ribs! I use a toothpick. If it goes in nice and easy they are done.

To test doneness, lift a rack up with a pair of tongs, IF they bend freely in the middle and/or fall apart they are done. Try not to get them SO done they fall apart---they might be too done and dry by then, even if you have sauced and/or mopped them.  Also watch how far the bones have pulled back.   About 1/2 to 3/4" all the way around and generally you're good.   Beats poking holes all over trying to get a temp reading.   Never tried the toothpick (thought that was for cakes--LOL), but worth a shot.
