Pork ribs ?

[Bfreeze80]

Hello, I am new to forum. I have a pit boss Austin xl, so far love it! I have done tritip chickens, brisket, turkey, pork butt, etc. my question is this, when cooking pork ribs using the 3,2,1 method, it seems as though the bottom of the ribs get too charred as it is too close to the heat source. Does anybody else have this problem? If so how do I fix it? Has anybody modified their smoker so you can raise the main cooking grates?

I put a larger top grate on my Lexington to fit at least two racks. I think the 3-2-1 method is an interwebs fad; I get better results when I cook to internal target temp, looks, and probe insertion feel.

Awesome thanks for the info.

Welcome! Here is what I did. Flame Tamer! Worked for me!

4 Window Flame Tamer (Patent Pending)

Which mod is right for me? Click here. Includes 1 stainless steel flame tamer with slots. This will get rid of the hot spot over the fire pot and help even out temperatures across the grates. You can place with the opening either front to back or side to side, whichever works best for your Boss...
