Pit Barrel Cooker (PBC) Question
Not sure if this has been asked already, if so Sorry for the repeat.
I read that the PBC locks in around 280º so it cooks faster. Question is, can the Intake be adjusted to lower the cooking Temps down to the 225º-240º range? |
From the photos, it looks like you have to loosen a bolt. So yes, but not easily. I'll have mine on thursday.

Sure. it's not something that I'd want to do during a cook, but you can move the damper to any position that you want.

You certainly can, in fact, you will have to adj according to air density. Have no fear of changing the temp during a cook, this pit responds like a sport bike (very responsive).
Look how much I had to close it to get 275 today http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=153031 |

But, I don't cook below 250 on any of my cookers except to do a prime rib roast. |
Anyone figger out how big that intake hole is yet?

And on the question of cooking temps, many people will start out at a lower temp, like 225-250 to get some smoke flavor and enhance smoke ring development. But after first hour, they will want to crank up the heat to 275-325 to power through rest of cook. This works great, and having a fixed intake doesn't help the process. |

^ I understand the intake on a PBC isn't fixed. But it's not easy to change from what I've read. You have to run out to the garage and grab a tool to move it or something..
