The video turned out nicely Rus! Fist bump to your camera man too! It was truly a pleasure to hang out with you guys and would be stoked to do it again if you guys will have me. Maybe I’ll be less nervous 😩 next time. Thank you for being so free with your knowledge and patient. I never felt like I was bothering you . Cheers man and I’m proud to call you a friend!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

We had a blast Jaxx, and will do this again for certain! Your always welcome brother! Cheers!

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

@@SmokyRibsBBQ You know after thinking about it, I did put those Nashville hot in the Southern pride when I wrapped because there wasn't enough room in the Pit Barrel..

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

@@JaxxDrinkwater Yeah, that's what I remember too, but I wrapped all my ribs too, and none was as tender and juicy. The quality of your ribs were much better than the ones I ordered. That taught me a huge lesson. I will never buy ribs again without actually being able to see them. I've gotten a lot of meat online, but I felt totally ripped off with those poor excuses of ribs. Oh well, it was a whole lot of fun and looking forward to the next time we all get together.

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Russ, great Show. love all the lessons these shows have provided. good stuff done by all

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks for watching all the videos! We all appreciate it very much!

It's never a bad day when you end up doing a rib taste test :)

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Those are the best of days! Thanks for stopping by Ry!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Great video Rus. Not sure of how much wood was used in the PBC, but I've learned to go extremely light. It's such a confined space very, very little goes a very long way. Cheers brother!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Greg! I only used two small chunks of wood. Yeah, I learned that early own that less is more when it comes to the PBC. To me, the ribs off of both pits were pretty much identical in flavor and smoke. Those ribs I ordered were such a rip off. I will never order from that meat company again. I would have been better off getting them at Walmart LOL, but true.

[@progers5019]

Let the 2020 Rib Cooks begin. Good lookin ribs all around. Happy New Year to all. Back to work tomorrow to the real life 2020. LOL

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks Phil! Happy New Year, and yes, back to the real world tomorrow unfortunately!

[@THEREALSHOWBBQ]

Breaks my heart to see the PBC lose. But they both looked great. Awesome job! Very nice of you to bring Brian and Jaxx in to help support their channels. You're a good dude bro. I hope to have the opportunity to go cook with you sometime.

Great video, but for backyard cooking I think I'll stick with my $350 Pit Barrel vice the $21,000 Southern Pride.

[@GreenhornBBQbeer]

Thanks for the video Russ, I was already a subscriber to Jax's channel, new sub to Smokehouse Bayou. I agree that thicker ribs had a big difference and not everyone can have a Southern Pride in their backyard, so I'll go with the Pit Barrel cooker, cheers!

[@SmokehouseBayouSmokedMeats]

GreenhornBBQbeer Thank you for subbing! Fun day!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Yeah, those ribs Jaxx brought were much better ribs than the ribs I ordered online. I will never order from that company again, matter of fact, I will only buy ribs I can see before I purchase. I thought they were a good meat purveyor but these small thin ribs proved that to be wrong. Walmart has better ribs than these. I'm retiring the PBC. Got a new Gateway Drum just waiting to be fired up. Was going to season it today, but dang football games got in the way LOL. Thanks for watching Todd!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Everything looked so good! I hope you have a Happy New Year. Cheers, Russ!

[@jerrykoontz2916]

Great job you guys.

[@Dadzilla2]

Ok questions questions questions! I just bought a PBC this this last month. It was Christmas present to myself. So far I've used it to smoke and cook both a whole chicken and a Rib Roast. It did well with both. I've watched the videos from the company on how to control the heat and such. I'm just wondering from you, how much charcoal did you actually use? The chicken I did first, and what I did was to just put a fire lighter under the basket inside with the basket full of charcoal. I used a thermoal probe both in the chicken the rib roast and in the drum. I had an average of 350 - 375 on the heat. Reading the instructions you have to adjust the opening at the bottom depending on your elevation. I'm at roughly 5000, so I had it where I thought it needed to be. Today I wanted to do up a rack of ribbs for some frineds for today's football. I ended up doing it on my Webber and it actually does a great job with smoking as well. I wanted to switch to a barrel because it looked like it could do so much more for me. Give me your thoughts please on how you think it should be used/ Thanks

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I fill the PBC fire basket up with Kingsford blue charcoal briquettes as the company recommends to the top of the fire box and no more. I remove 10 briquettes and put them in a chimney starter. I get the 10 briquettes burning and pour them on top of the cold briquettes in the fire basket that's in the bottom of the pit barrel. I quickly put on the lid and give it around 20 minutes. This is a minion method and if you don't open up the lid to much, it should hold temps around 275 to 300. If you start all the charcoal at once in a chimney starter like you explained you did, then yes, the barrel will run at much hotter temps.

[@garytingler3222]

Rus another great video. I did try your Jack and Coke a couple of weeks ago. I did a 50/50 and the Jack was a little strong on the flavor. I will do the 25/75 next time. Going to check out the other channels now.

[@nathan0717]

If I remember correctly, I first seen them from a previous jerky video that you did a while back!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

You seen Brian in that video this time last year. Jaxx was in a video where we compared steamed shrimp to boiled shrimp. T-Roy Cooks was there too. About a year and a half ago. Good people!

[@justindobson6279]

Great video Rus.

I'd like to get me some of those Nashville Hot Ribs. Show us the way Russ great video brother.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I watched Jaxx do them on his video earlier today. He shows you exactly how to make the mop sauce for them. Awesome ribs! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGiolZhom5qDjJo

Great video Rus !! All of the ribs looked great and I know they all tasted great too !! Haha !! I love a good rib cooking video. I really enjoyed it Brother !! Cheers !!!!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Hey Sean! Thanks for checking it out brother! I enjoy doing things like this. Cheers 🍻

[@holland1904]

Can you do a video on deviled crab? Thanks for all the great, informative videos. God bless.

[@duanewilson3941]

I put a bbq guru on my old pit barrel, you can't believe how good that works. 12 hour brisket @ 225 ? No problem. Ribs at 250 --it will hold all day long and have charcoal left over. When I cook on the rack I take out the re bar and use some silver dollar magnets to partially cover up holes. It doesn't have to be perfect because the guru does all the work. I've never made better bbq.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I’m adding a air controller to my new Gateway drum. The PBC is officially retired. Thanks for watching

[@GoRawVegan]

@@SmokyRibsBBQ this is interesting. I have a couple gateways that replaced my PBC's as well. I wanted the controller early on but after taking Tim and Brad's class and some practice I now see why they do not recommend air controller. It's all about the draft. I'm still interested though lol. Cant wait for the videos.

[@WKYanks]

Great vid guys, but look at the Oklahoma Joe's Bronco barrel smoker. The temp is adjustable on that one.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Just bought a brand new Gateway.

[@rtroutbumm]

The one thing I’ve not like about ribs in the pbc is the ribs can get really charred at the bottom at times. I love the pbc for briskets and pork roasts though.

[@9929kingfish]

Gregorio I usually hang the ribs from the other side half way through the cook to prevent the bottom ribs from over cooking.

[@osoclasi]

I asked this on Bayou's page but would like Russ' opinion, so technically its seems as though the PBC did really well against the Southern Pride even though it looks like it came up a bit short? Or were the ribs from the Southern Pride way better?

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

To me the flavor was basically identical which they should have been since the rub, sauce and wood was the same on both pits. The ribs coming off of the SP were a bit juicier and more tender than the ribs coming off the PBC. The quality of the ribs fell way short of my expectations and had a lot to do with the more dryer and tougher texture. I think if I would have went longer, it would have just made them worse. These ribs were very thin. Jaxx however bought his ribs from somewhere else and they were nice and meaty with plenty of moisture and very tender as they should be and the best ribs of the day and they were primarily cooked in the PBC. I think you can get great results in almost any smoker but you have to start with a quality meat, otherwise you will never get a great end result.

[@EverydayBBQ]

Man that Southern Pride must be one heck of a cooker to outcook the PBC with ribs lol. The #RibMachine goes down in this one but I still stand by it. Especially because it smells good when you stand by it lol.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Well true on the racks we did the same, but don't forget Jaxx's ribs won out of all of them, and he did them on my PBC, so not a total loss LOL! Thanks for watching Mike!

[@EverydayBBQ]

Smoky Ribs BBQ true! I’ll take that as a Win lol. Cheers, brother! Happy New Year!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I can answer this is two words. Crappy Meat! It was very thin and I was super disgusted with them, because I ordered them and paid good money for them. I could have gotten way better ribs at walmart even

[@PSUhorty1]

Enjoyed the vid! Camera-work was terrible on this one, if you don't mind me saying though. You are all talking about the finished ribs and tasting them but viewers can't see them... only you guys from waist up.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

We normally shoot with multiple cameras on my videos, but wasn’t enough room to set it up with other channels shooting their videos. I noticed that my self in editing but it is what it is. I recommend watching their videos if you want to see the spread of ribs we were trying. Unfortunately we didn’t get shots of that.
