welp, i have been getting ppl asking me which smoker produces the nicest rib. today we are going to find out.
da players.
18 WSM, little blackie (mak 1 star) & PBC.
to get the ribs to all finish at the same time i had to start the WSM and little blackie early. 4 hour cook for both of those smokers. 2 for the PBC.
there is a chunk of apple in there.
fired up little blackie also burning apple pellets.
i let everything come up to temp (275°).
i'm using sparky's orange sauce and instead gourmet rub on all the ribs.
everyone in the pools.....
at the 1 hour 40 mark i started up the PBC. got some apple wood for some smoke.
two 1/2 racks for the PBC.
time for some FL.
WSM rib.
little blackie rib.
my favorite part.
some more love.
back on for 1 hour.
the time table was different on the cookers but i think i have the times down to a science now.
PBC rib FL.
great color for all the ribs in my opinion.
the other one is getting sauced for my wife.
my 18 WSM holds temps like a champ. 3 hours into it and i have not touched a vent at all.
WSM rib, little blackie rib & PBC rib. everyone done at the same time (what planning).
nice color all around. very please w/ that.
i took the best rib out of each rack.
WSM rack.
little blackie rack.
PBC rack.
alright. heres the break down. my wife, daughter, son and myself each took a bite from the bone i cut out of each rack so we all ate from the same rib. everyone said the same thing.
mak 1 star rib wins hand down. it had the best flavor and texture out of all 3 racks. it was very good.
PBC came in 2nd. i tad drier but not much. great charcoal flavor.
WSM came in 3rd. it was alot drier and alot less taste frome the other racks which suprised me the most. i did learn that i might have to start using water when i cook ribs. nah..... i like the dry pan better. all in all a great test. i already knew that the mak would when. it produces the best ribs i have every cook in my life.
