Smoked Baby Back Ribs on the Pit Barrel Cooker

The main reason I purchased a Pit Barrel Cooker many years ago was to smoke some Ribs. I love a smoked Rib, and the flavor profile you get from hanging some racks in the Pit Barrel Cooker cannot be matched with any other smoker. Just fire up the PBC and hang those ribs. Perfectly smoked results every time!

Ingredients:

2 slabs of Baby Back Ribs

BBQ Rub of your choice (or just use salt & pepper)

BBQ Sauce of your choice

Start by removing the back membrane of the ribs. Season well on both sides with your favorite BBQ Rub. Allow them to sit for a while to absorb some of the seasonings while you light some charcoal for your Pit Barrel Cooker.

Once the coals are ready pour into the basket and add some wood chip or chunks if you like a smokey flavor. I would recommend a fruit wood, like Apple or Cherry Wood.

Hang the Ribs and smoke for 2-3 hours, or until the meat starts to pull back from the end of the bone.

If you like you can also apply your favorite BBQ Sauce on the Ribs for the last 20-30 minutes. Crack the lid around an inch to allow the temperature to climb and help the sauce caramelize.

When done remove and let rest for 10 minutes or so. Slice and enjoy!
