**Unless you know this cooker very well, we don't recommend smoking ribs on a PR36 Smoker because ribs have little meat on them and the cooker is small and the fire is beneath the grate. If you restrict the air flow to control the fire, the fire will smolder. That will cause a problem and create a very dense smoke. However, you could grill the ribs.
