Chicken and ribs on the PBC

[HeftyB]

Doing a spatchcock chicken with PCB all purpose rub and a coating of mayo, and a rack of ribs with Oakridge Dominator. Just went in the PBC about 4:30. It just barely fit on the rack with ribs cut in half.

Has anyone tried a spatchcock chicken on a hook? It looks like things would fit better this way.

Re chicken- yes use two hook thru Breast bone under wings "armpits". I've never dropped one yet. Don't be afraid to hook your ribs 3-4 bones down and folded. They cook fine. Congrats on one of the neatest cookers around.

Thanks! I'll be using the hooks next time.

I've already deleted the photo but a while back I did 12#packer a whole chicken and three racks of ribs on the hooks at the same time. I recommend you start out using the videos on the PBC website and branch out from there. Ain't nothing wrong with experimenting. That's how most of us end up married!!

I just cut the chicken in half for the PBC. they seem to hang better that way, but 16Adams suggestion of two hooks would work.

Just pulled the ribs. They probed tender and were reading 170*. The chicken is at 155* so it should be ready soon.

Are you familiar with the Bend Test for ribs??

 

[Ron_L]

I rarely take temp on ribs because the meat is so thin you can be off 1/4" and get a huge difference in temp, but when I do, they are typically in the 190s.

Just gave them the bend test, they were at about a 45* angle so didn't quite pass. Going back in the cooker for a while.

Good call. No pullback on the meat exposing the bones. I knew they were undercooked from here.

Chicken is done. The skin is nice and crispy, lost a piece to the tongs when I was taking it out.

Thanks! This is the first time I've tried the mayo rub. I'm definitely a fan now.

Ribs should be done soon, still not quite bendy enough. In the mean time, strawberry pie.

The ribs turned out really good, used some Blues Hog Honey Mustard. Thanks everyone for the advice!

What were the times on that cook? The reason I ask is that I am doing my 2nd cook on the pbc and will be doing 2 chickens and 2 racks of pork ribs and want to know if I can put them on at the same time, or stagger them time wise. Also, trying to get a feel to total cook time so I know when to start them. I was thinking 3 hrs for the ribs and 2 for the chicken, so I would put the ribs on for an hour before the chicken. Either that or I could start them at the same time and let the chicken sit in a foil tent for the last hour till the ribs are done.any tips or suggestions?

 

[highergr0und]

I'd give the ribs 3.5 hours and the chickens 2 hours. Some ribs take a bit more, some a little less. Chickens are pretty consistent at the 2 hour mark for me using average sized grocery store birds.

I don't "rest" ribs or chicken. I just let them cool for a few minutes so I can cut them without burning the crap out of my hands.
