I've been using a disposable pizza pan as an ash catcher but think I need to do the more permanent mod. otherwise, just some sheet magnets to shut it down faster.

All the cool kids have a PBC, but remember everybody hates the cool kids, except other cool kids, and those needing a date Saturday night, or have access to beer.

I have had no problems with magnet strips melting. They show absolutely no signs of wear or damage at all

Tried the Stubbs charcoal on a packer brisket this weekend (Sunday) about a 10 hour cook, wrapped at 165....Came out very good, just the flat was very slightly dry (Probably me, not the charcoal..)
I'm hooked on Stubbs now - Good burn and low ash.... Anyone know of an interface I can use to log temps and display them graphically on my laptop? (maybe I'll post that in another thread...)

I love my PBC. I like to use Stubbs and kingsford competition. I've done a couple of things to my PBC, but I don't have any pics since I'm out of town. The first and most important mod was my UDS probe mod. Grab an angle grinder and slice a slit into the lip of the drum so I can fit my two maverick probes in there. Just lay the meat down and put the wires into the slit, no feeding the wires through any grommets.
Second, I replaced the screw on the intake with a stainless steel wing nut and bolt. That way I can easily open or close the intake as I please. Then I stuff a piece of tin foil in there to cover up the open space when the intake is in closed position. That way I can snuff out the coals. Lastly, I welded a small 90 degree elbow onto the bar that goes across the firebox. I used the rest of the stainless steel rod to fashion a hook so I can now grab the firebox with my hook when using the minion method. This has made using the minion method much easier, since I don't have a torch. I also fashioned a pizza pan ash catcher which I can also remove with my hook. I'm always looking for ways to improve and tinker, so share your ideas!!! |

If you can drill 3/4" holes on it, you can buy convert kits to transfer it to a REVERSE flow

What are you guys using under the cooker? I just ordered mine, but I'm nervous the heat will mess up the deck bump out that I have for my grilling area.

I have a wood deck, I put one of those metal (aluminum) pans, that go underneath a hot water tank, under mine.
