Title: Chicken and ribs
Post by: muebe on October 31, 2016, 03:15:38 PM

Made a whole chicken and ribs in the PBC. The chicken was dry brined with sea salt overnight then injected with garlic butter and rubbed with garlic butter. The ribs were coated with BD's Rib Rub and silver skin pulled. Both were really tasty. The chicken was amazing. The ribs were very good. Not as good as my Memphis ribs but pretty darn close. PBC did well in the rainy weather...

That is a nice looking meal.  One of the challenges with 2 different proteins like this is what pit temp to maintain?  Chicken usually likes a higher temp of say 300F while ribs is usually around 250F so therein lies the conflict.  Plus chicken drippings creating a grease fog could affect the taste of the ribs -IMHO.

Great job Mike ... I'd hammer both!!
Like Steve mentioned - cooking different proteins can be a challenge.

Not really my experience. I loaded the basket full of coals. Hung them both at the same time. Waited 1 hour. Cracked the lid for 15 minutes. Pulled the ribs. Then let the chicken finish lid off for 5 minutes. Worked at great. Ribs tasted good to me.

Perhaps more than one rack of ribs or chicken would create more of an issue...

Nice looking chow!
That dry-brining if you have the time and space is by far the best way to do chicken IMO!
