    Baby Backs Hung Vertically

    No problem at all. I did use yellow mustard as a binder but I don't think it makes much difference. The rub was applied the night before then the ribs spent the night in my refigerator before smoking the next morning.

    Pit Boss Temp Issue

    UPDATE: I have found a solution that has evened out the temperatures in my series 3 vertical Pit Boss smoker. I always suspected the problem was that the temp sensor was located too close to the fire pot at the bottom of the smoker resulting in much higher temp readings at the lower cooking...

    rib rack recommendations?

    Pit Boss Temp Issue

    I have a Pitboss Series 3 vertical pellet smoker. From day one, the digital readout for internal ambient temperature has been reading 30 degrees more than the actual temp. I used it this way for a few months without knowing that it was inaccurate, resulting in cooks that took hours longer than...
