Barry, do yourself a favor and put a few drops of olive oil around the bottom outside seam. Mine has a little rust starting there.  Best to season inside and out.

Peanut oil is a great "seasoning" oil for the inside - because of it's extremely high smoke/scorch temperature. Just one of several good options - but my favorite ;)

Peanut oil is my favorite. It has a high smoke point and I get my employee discount at Academy.

Barry, thanks for the pick of the hangin' ribs...I've wondered if I could do ribs that way?
Did they turn out?

Jack  I'm a big fan of this cooker. It's simple to use and does what it says it will. Light the charcoal, let it burn in for the recommended time, hang the meat to be cooked (haven't used the grate/grill yet to hold meat) and it cooks exactly as I wanted them. Tender but still with some "tooth" er texture, light smokiness (didn't add wood chunks or the smoker tube to my first cook) and perfect.

The PBC rub is too salty for my taste and BP but that's a personal taste bud thang...

You know I've never been a rib guy that much cause it was just for me and a lotta work for one-or-two servings.  This cooker is great cause I can hang a couple racks to make up a good meal for me AND also hang a couple sides of yard bird with room for more.

About as close to "set it and forget it" as I've seen on a live fire cooker.   

I may not be a good cook but I make up for it by being lazy.  8)

I don't have a PBC, but even for just myself and the wife I have always cooked at least 2 if not 4 slabs of ribs everytime I would fire up a smoker. Eat at least one, vacuum bag the rest for later.
