Well, I jumped on the bandwagon.

Needed something to do small cooks, haul places easily, and to cook on when I don't have time to shovel coals all day but still crave that pit flavor of fat dropping on coals. So--I jumped on the bandwagon and ordered a PBC Junior. Hope the flavor is similar to my cinder block pit.

Let's see some pics when you get er runnin! And post in the PBC appreciation thread if you need help or have questions!

Great choice! I picked one recently and it's as good if not better than the PBC. Solid cooker for it's size.

Six rack of baby back ribs in less than 4 hours for NYE.

Tiny enough to fit in a prius

I did quite a few cooks on it already

4 chicken halves, STL rack and a fatty

A new 14"-er Smitty. It's a badarse cooker for it's size. IMO the smaller circumference and only 1" 1/2 shorter in height than the original PBC provides for a better draft. Not that PBC is any worse but to me the J drafts better. Kinda like haveing a tall, wide stack on an offset. It pulls better.

Plenty of room on this bandwagon, Coat. Welcome aboard.

I think I want one as well. The size is just too perfect. Would be so easy to take places. I'm a little freaked out about not being able to control temps on these PBCs though. But I recognize that plenty of people swear by them and just let them do what they're gonna do.

You will have no problems with a PBC. THey kick AZZZ!

so...if you adjust the intake do you ruin this cooker? do temps go crazy?
i am thinking that you could add a therm and adjust the intake like any other cooker. what am i missing???

You can do all that, if you want. You just don’t “need” to.
I’ve seen some PBC’ that look like robot on lost in space. Mine is stock . I bought a thermometer for it years ago. It’s still in the desk.

I get that they market it as a sort of set it and forget it, but I'm confused why the manufacturer or someone else doesn't offer an optional adjustable intake door with a handle that you can easily adjust like any other smoker. Would certainly buy that.

Those do look awesome. They are priced more than double though right? $300 to $800.

True, true. A lot of my PBC friends have fled to the rich side of the tracks. I’m still holding down the low budget side of the tracks
