I JUST joined the pellet grill community and your videos are quickly becoming my favorite, @Mad Backyard. I love the level of detail you put into your explanations. I also love that you don't make assumptions about what people do/don't know. Keep up the good work˜

[@madbackyard]

Awesome Brandon, thanks for watching and for taking the time to say all that! Let us know how your new pellet grill cooks turn out and if there's anything in particular you want to learn more about, we are always looking for new topics and recipes to cover!

I also agree with Brandon. Great job.

Same! I just purchased a Pit Boss Savannah. It's my first Pellet grill and your videos have made the experience amazing! Great job!

[@rodneyrodgers9229]

Same with me. We have just about the same grill and all of the recipes and hints have been spot on.

After following your video, I’m about 30-45 minutes from pulling the rack out of the pellet grill 👍 Excited to see how they turn out. So far they look great and seem to be holding moisture well! I’ve replayed this video a few times since starting the grill about 3ish hours ago lol just to be sure I’m remembering each detail correctly. Thanks for the help!

But I must say that the ribs that were in the rear of the grill were falling off the bone more than the rack in the front, but they were both Awesome!! Thanks for this video!!!!!!! Just so you know I didn’t use all that seasoning you used (more keto/carnivore friendly), I used some Buck seasoning (I guess you have to be from central NY).

Thanks for the. Idea I’ve viewed several cooks on offset and I have an old propane Masterbuilt that has done good work over the years.

[@madbackyard]

Yeah it’s one of my favorites, I think you’ll like the dirty bird. It’s really good on chicken too.

[@dailyDIYdude]

Question for you. I’m using exact same grill and exact same pellets at exactly the same temp with both mods already done. Any reason my grill isn’t producing a lot of smoke like in your video? The grill is clean and I’m not using a pellet tube as I noticed you weren’t either in this particular video. Only thing I may not have exactly like yours is the smoke stack adjustment. I tried to look at yours and adjust it to similar opening. Thanks for any feedback.

[@madbackyard]

Hey DIY Dude- I'm guessing your the same person that asked this in the Facebook group so hopefully anwesred you there. For everyone else, just know that when its colder out, your pellet grill has to work harder to maintain those temps of 250-300 than it would compared to. hot day in the summer. Working harder means a hotter fire in the firepot, more efficiently burned pellets, and therefore, less smoke. I've found letting the grill preheat for a while in the winter before putting the food on helps as the fire in the firepot tends to settle down once everything is nice and preheated and you get more smoke.

[@dailyDIYdude]

@@madbackyard yeah bud that’s me 😂😂😂. I tried to get you everywhere didn’t I?? Thanks man.

[@charleseggers9829]

[@wallys7016]

How often do you fully empty the hopper and run the auger free of pellets? I don’t like leaving my pellets in the auger with the humidity and stuff. Just wondering.

[@madbackyard]

Because I cook so often, I don't empty very much unless I'm going on vacation or something. In the winter, I don't really worry about it at all since the humidity drops. I would say if you aren't going to cook for 10 days or longer maybe.

[@rodneyrodgers9229]

did 2 racks tonight...they both came out great. Should the temperature go down after they are unwrapped? both racks went from 190 down to 178 but then rebounded. Fall off the bone goodness. We used a local favorite called Cackalacky sauce...they came out really good.

[@terrancewilson6895]

Thanks.. 😊

[@jonfair5203]

Just tried this on my PB KC combo. Tops of the ribs turned out amazing loved the flavor with those rubs and sauce. But the bottom was charcoal.

[@madbackyard]

Sorry to hear than Jon. Try putting them on the top rack next time over a water pan. Also check out our video on how we use a flame tamer mod to cut down on the direct heat from the fire pot: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJjSloKKgdiKbaM

[@stevevet3652]

You can even out the temp issue by placing your meat on a rack that is in a flat pan.

[@bryquentros]

Just got a 700 series for $25 at a yard sale. Unplugged the stuck pellets. Did a dry run to test it works. Looking forward to the first smoke.

[@madbackyard]

Wow that’s awesome!

[@tykealwhite4555]

Do you have the plate covering the fire all the way closed or is it open just a little?

[@madbackyard]

All the way closed for indirect cooking like this.

[@budcunningham6732]

I have been smoking ribs , brisket and almost everything else for 6 years , and I have never used mustard as a binder . I've never needed a binder . I use a dry rub and smoke for 3 hours, I mix BBQ sause , add a little dry rub , honey , and brown sugar and a stick of butter ( sliced ) and apply to the rib and wrap in foil for 2 hours. I finish by removing the foil and laying the rib on a kitchen cooking grate for the final hour . I use the cooking grate because I can't pick up the ribs with tongs . I keep my temp in the 225 to 250 range , and I prefer my Chargriller Akorn over my Chargriller Offset smoker , and I use lump charcoal and hickory and apple chunks . I'm not saying this is the best method, but it works great for me.

[@keithburton3713]

I agree this dude is an amateur

[@minmontel3]

Do you cook with vents open or closed that are under the rack ? Never used one and trying this weekend

[@madbackyard]

Vent on the flame broiler closed for ribs and smoking food. Open only if searing something.

[@stevewoolery9083]

Does the time remain about the same for multiple racks of ribs?

[@madbackyard]

Yes for the most part. If you’re using a rib rack and have them all lined up next each other they may cook a little slower but shouldn’t be too much difference.

[@youngbloodbaseball]

I usually use butcher paper when i wrap. Would it be more beneficial to use foil doing the ribs like this? TIA

[@jeffclark5024]

I started out using mustard binder and I’ve found it’s really not needed or really any binder in my opinion and definitely can tase it.

[@madbackyard]

I also no longer use binders for the most part on my meat.

[@deathdealer2915]

Best binder imo is just some simple water, 50/50 apple cider and water or apple juice

[@fjfoley]

Put a nitro glove on your rubs and you do not need to worry about keeping the rubs clean. You can use both hands and then just toss the glove from around the rubs.

[@madbackyard]

Great tip, thanks! 👍

[@uclajd]

One thing nobody talks about is what temp were the ribs when you first started? Do you leave them out of the fridge for a while to warm up first?

[@deathdealer2915]

No you wanna chill them for at least 15 mins in the fridge before cooking. The colder the ribs are the more smoke they will pull in

[@jokawild187]

Can you put add some coke/Dr pepper when wrapping in foil? I normally have the ribs wrapped in foil with seasoning and coke when I used to do them in the oven

[@madbackyard]

Sure! I’ve done that before too.

[@keithmarshall62]

I did Not catch how you setup the grill with the Direct tray for Heat ? I assume you leave that smoke or direct tray closed for the entire cook time but we all know what assume means to us All but I still had to ask. Planning a fairly Big Cook Easter Day so I wanna do it correctly !

[@madbackyard]

Yes, leave the flame broiler closed. You want to cook ribs with indirect heat only. Let us know how they turn out. Thanks for watching!

[@keithmarshall62]

@@madbackyard I knew that it should be indirect but I’ve only cooked a few times on the pellet grill, so I wanted to be absolutely sure since there was one view that looked like it was open. Thanks a Bunch !

[@anthonywesson2081]

Have you ever used butcher paper to wrap over foil? I used once and came out amazing but other times I’ve used foil. Getting mixed reviews on which to use to wrap.

[@madbackyard]

I like butcher paper on beef. I use it in my brisket and chuck roast videos. Ribs I don’t think it makes too much if a difference, so it’s really personal preference. I like to collect the juices in the foil to add to my sauce which is hard to do with butcher paper

[@rodawg25]

Personal preference that’s exactly how I like them. Clean bite off the bone. I feel like the traditional “fall off the bone” just makes them mushy… but hey, some people like them like that. To each their own. Well done though 👍🏼👍🏼

[@blindwoozie]

I recently was gifted an 850 Pro Series and used your setup video (which was very helpful) and my first test was ribs. I did a 3 hour smoke at 275 based off of a comment because it sounded relatively easy and hands free for a first test. They turned out decent, a bit chewy. I'll definitely try your method here next time I do ribs, I knew I should have went the extra mile and foiled with the butter etc. Anyways, thanks for the videos, they've been concise and informative! Would love to see some other Pit Boss cooking content!

[@madbackyard]

Yes, I would try wrapping next time for at least that last hour, I think you'll notice a big difference. Thanks for watching and for the kind words about the videos! Much more coming out soon!

[@pacsunzr2]

[@timcoolican459]

You can use Mayo as a binder too

[@michaelkehm8031]

[@gordonliddy9418]

Blues Hog Raspberry Chipotle is by far my favorite sauce.Too bad it costs so damned much!

[@madbackyard]

Agreed! It’s very good. I’m guessing the expense comes from using fresh raspberries rather than artificial flavor.

[@erickhall8836]

I have the portable/smaller Pit Boss and had to cook them 45min/45min/30/30..... Any longer they were very rough and tough

[@OaK-_R]

Great video, im still relatively new to the pellet smoker world, ive done 2 pork butts and some chicken lollipops. My question to you is i have a pitboss sportsman and i find my smoker temp will fluctuate 10°-15° either direction over the course of the cook. Is that normal for these pitbosses?

[@madbackyard]

It can be. I wouldn't worry too much about 10-15 degrees changes. If you are having larger temperature issues check out our video we made about to fix the most common Pit Boss Temp issues. A few easy things I've found work well is to: 1.Make sure the burn pot is well cleaned out before you start cooking. 2. Wipe down the temp gauge thermometer with some isopropyl alcohol or other degreaser regularly to make sure it's getting an accurate reading. 3. Keep your exhaust chimney open more than usual on hot days as it will help keep hot air from building up inside the cooking chamber as new pellets get fed to the pot and let it escape faster. 4. Always run through the startup cycle on the "Smoke" setting with the lid open first. Then, give the grill plenty of time to preheat and stabilize at your chosen temp for about 10-15 minutes before putting the food in. This will give it time to warm up all the grates and components and body of the cooking chamber up to temp too and help just keep everything more relatively stable. 5. Resist the urge to open the lid frequently and check the meat. Use probe thermometers with wires running out the access hole on the side to help monitor how your meat is cooking. 6. Check the hopper regularly to make sure pellets are constantly falling to the auger. Sometimes they can mound up and stay put on the ramp and not fall in and you get some "air gaps" in the auger with no pellets and your temp will most certainly drop. You can use a paint stick to brush them towards the auger. Or, if you are comfortable with it, remove the safety grate and carefully use your hand. We made a video on how to do this too. Hope that helps thanks for watching the channel!

[@IsaacFNghost]

Your pellet smoker seems to produce a lot more smoke then mine does. (Albeit mine is brand new unused aside from the first burn off). I’m hoping as it gets used it will start producing more.

[@madbackyard]

Try using lower temps and maybe trying a few brands of pellets. We made some content about this: Here is the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6SteZqvbt6eY5o and here is the article from our website: www.madbackyard.com/pellet-grill-not-making-enough-smoke/

[@IsaacFNghost]

@@madbackyard thanks for the link! I went to my local Ace and grabbed whatever they had in mesquite. They only had Traeger brand

[@madbackyard]

Try Bear Mountain, Knotty Wood, or Expert Grill (I think that is walmart's house brand) even the Pit Boss brand, while not the best, I've found better than Traeger.

[@PrinceTimothy777]

How are you getting so much smoke flowing from your grill. My pitboss smokes no where near that much.

[@madbackyard]

Great question! It can be dependent on a number of factors: The type/brand of pellets you are using and how fresh they are, the temperature at which you are cooking, how much your chimney cap is open for air flow. Check out some of our other videos about how to get more smoke from your pellet grill - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5mreZZ6l86jjtk. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6SteZqvbt6eY5o

[@morgangentle1515]

What about pork side ribs they are approximately 4.5 inches wide

[@thinkingoutloud6741]

How about instead of shortening the time, just drop temp to 225?? I see that as the target temp in many videos. I’m thinking at least during the smoke stage so you maximize smoke flavor. But, just suggesting. What do you think??

[@madbackyard]

You can definitely start that low during the first stage so you get more time exposed to smoke, some people even start on the smoke setting for 30-60 minutes before turning the heat up. But I would turn the heat up for the wrapping stage. I've cooked baby backs start to finish at 225°F and haven't been a huge fan. Even with increasing the cooking time, it is just much harder to get the fat to render enough in my opinion during the wrapping stage. Since shooting this video, I actually have gone the other way and cook them at 275°F more often than not now.

[@thinkingoutloud6741]

@@madbackyard Thanks! I also notice that my PitBoss reads out a temp that’s indicating higher than my probes do. And I’ve placed up to 4 probes in different places to identify if there are hot spots. Very surprised to find overall lower than indicated. 25 degrees and more.

No sure why :"fall of the bone" is some key metric to bbq ribs. Myself, I like a slight pull and flavor and texture together should be the emphasis. Just sayin' here.

[@madbackyard]

I think of it like cooking a steak, everyone has their own preference, there is no right or wrong.

[@timmcdermott9110]

These ribs needed to stay wrapped another 30minutes as the ribs weren’t as tender as they could’ve been and the sauce needed 15 more minutes as you see the sauce was dripping off when he stood the ribs off.

[@madbackyard]

Personal preference. The longer you keep ribs wrapped the more "fall off the bone" they will be. Some people like some pull to them, others want them totally falling apart. Use time and temp and practice to figure out what works best for what you like.

[@chaelshockeylife5881]

Hmmm....I don't see exposed bones.

[@danoesq2]

I had a Pit Boss vertical which was ok and paid for itself, but it went to the dumpster after awhile. Tempure swings became a joke. If you're serious about by barbecue, buy a Yoder or better.

[@mack69215]

My pot boss never smokes like that

[@madbackyard]

Make sure you’re using new, dry pellets, and that your fire pit is cleaned out well so they can make good contact with the igniter rod. Also, the lower the temp, the more smoke you will get. I find I also get more smoke on hot days when the firepot barely has to work to keep it at 180. I get less smoke conversely on very cold days even when set to a low temp.

Why do you want the meat to fall off the bones. It is overcooked when the meat falls off the bone.

WOO WOO WOO THERE 3 kinds of pork ribs. BABY BACK, ST LOUIS RIBS, AND SPARE RIBS.. Spare ribs are the most work into them > St Louis ribs and less work > and the less work is? BABY BACK BUT COMPARE THE PRICE? YOU CAN GET SPARE RIBS CHEAPER, THAN BABY BACKS, and get more MEAT from the Spare rib.. You can use the fat for LARD, EXTRA MEAT FOR BACON BITS, BEANS, AND THINGS

[@madbackyard]

“St louis cut ribs” are just a trimmed version of Spare ribs. They are not a different “kind” of rib. If you had a full rib on a hog you would see the spareribs side closer to the chest and the baby backs side closer to the back.

@@madbackyard There a lot more meat on spare ribs than St. Louis > Well they sale only 3 kinds of pork ribs AT THE STORES! A packing house is a different story

There was No jucice when you were squeezing your meat. Did anyone else see that?

[@jefferynordgulen4436]

3-2-1 should be 3-2-0.25. there is no reason to dry out the meat for the last hour.

[@cheflarree]

3-2-1 method sucks. Totally overcooks unless you want fall off the bone.

[@madbackyard]

Personal preference to a certain degree. But I agree on baby backs for sure. That’s why we usually do more of a 2-1-0.5. Thanks for watching!

[@cheflarree]

Good video.

[@madbackyard]

Thanks!

I bought a Pit Boss Austin XL pellet smoker at Walmart. it absolutely sucks. Do not buy one. it cooks unevenly.. it has hotspots. it can’t keep a steady temperature. and it produces a very, very mild smoky flavor to your protein. after three years I gave up and bought a Webber that’s a real smoker.
