So this is my first post here and it's a pretty important one. Recently I bought a PBC and have been trying to figure this seemingly simple thing out. So far I've only done baby back ribs. The first time I followed instructions closely and took into account my location(Boston, so extremely close to sea level). I fired the cooker up and cooked my ribs for about 3 hours as recommended. Needless to say they were extremely disappointing. They were very tough. Painfully tough.
I did some research and figured maybe I had pulled them too quickly and next time let them go for about 4.5 hours. Once again they were very tough and my coals had mostly burnt out so cooking any longer was not possible. What the heck am I missing here? I've read through old PBC threads but couldn't really find a solution for my issue. My old method of cooking ribs involved a grill and I've never had this problem so frankly I'm not sure how to proceed.
