I've said it before, but I'll say it again. It's truly amazing that so many people will spend $500-$1000 of mental energy/gymnastics on a $225 decision. I sometimes imagine a dude standing in the grocery store calling several other stores to see if they can save a quarter on a loaf of bread.

Received my PBC yesterday and fired it up today. I guess I'll be one of the first to say I was pretty much disappointed with this thing. Hung a rack of baby backs and later added a whole chicken cut in half. Total cook time was 4 hrs. for the ribs and 2.5 hrs. for the chicken, as per instructions.
The ribs were way overcooked and dry with the end closest to the coals basically inedible. The chicken was not done . I had to part the chicken out and finish some pieces in the oven. I guess I got caught in all the hype about this thing ,but now I wish that I had waited to see more opinions. As for ribs, I'll continue to use the 3.2.1. method on my BGE.

Half chickens take me a little over one hour. Ribs about two hours.

The PBC is a nice cooker, it's a small UDS.
Great for small cooks, and ultra portable. The kids built a UDS using Big Poppas kit. The kit is very high quality, and very easy to assemble about 2 hours. We liked the hanging aspect of the PBC, so we incorporated into our UDS. I've cooked on both and the results are very similar. Hanging chickens is great, it's nice to be able to fit so many on a small or large UDS. You'll need to be careful with your large heavy meats, Not a fan of hanging ribs, wasn't impressed with how they turned out. Longer cuts like brisket and ribs get to done close to the fire. We liked the PBC cooks just great and super for transporting and small families. We use the BPS drum all the time. It's more versatile such as, adjustable fire basket height for grilling or BBQ, wider range of cooking temps, more room for larger groups or hungry kids.

I totally agree! Thanks for the side by side comparisons.

Still waiting for one to surface in the Houston MSA so I can truly see how different the meat tastes than my drums. But now my interest is truly piqued. A "hero" you say... |

Not sure if he has any ribbons or medals, but if the man's a veteran, I'd say he's a hero. Nuff said.
