It's been cold and snowy or cold and rainy here in Massachusetts but I've had enough. Haven't used my PBC in over a month but tonight I'm firing up for some chicken halves and more exciting I'm using my new skewer to make some roast beef from some bottom round. Will post pron later tonight.

Guys.....I've seen a few posts recently about the thought or desire to adjust the vent cap (intake) in order to prevent lower temps. I wanted to remind you that increasing the temp in the PBC is very easy by cracking the lid. From just barely a crack for a small increase to opening it up about an inch or so for a pretty big increase, cracking the lid will get you a temp increase.
I only mention this because most of us bought the PBC to not have to adjust the intake on mosts cooks. So once you get yours set you can leave it alone. On the rare cooks you do that require a temp increase just crack the lid. Ok and if you need a lower temp, just get a magnet or glove or whatever and partially block the intake. These are obviously just suggestions that, in my opinion, will help you keep your cook temps stable for your day to day PBC cooks. Obviously you can adjust whatever you see fit. After all it's your cooker!...

Pit Barrel Cooker (PBC) Appreciation Thread
Just a update on loading the pbc with 3 large packers. I called the pbc helpline, very nice ppl. She told me that 3 she thinks would be too much. Her main concern-was all the dripping fat, she was saying it might be too much and might smother the coals. She told me not to touch the intake, suggested I do 2 at a time. I told her at this point it’s too late already started trimming and dry brining. So she told just keep a eye on the temp if I see it dropping it’s probably because of the too much fat on the coals. Wish me luck!!
Edit: also she said there office was closed on the weekend (my cook will start tomorrow night) but if I had a grilling emergency (haha) I can call and leave a message and one of the owners would give me a call back. |

I was thinking three might be too much for keeping the coals free from too many drippings, but you never know until you try.
Just need to pack a tight basket like Sako mentioned. Good luck!

I still say you're going to be fine. Just have to keep an eye on it. That's all.
Surely three briskets can't be dripping more fat than three butts

Chicken was dusted with Killer Hogs hot rub and it was out of the park. Small bird done in just over 90 minutes. Now the skewer worked fine but it was really close to the coals. There seemed to be an uneven cook from bottom to top and I'm really wishing I had bought the 10" skewers now. Biggest take away is I should have had the meat probe in the skewered roast to keep a better eye on it may have prevented the uneven cooks. Flavor was also incredible and I can't wait to make sandwiches for the week!

Yeah...it should be fine but keeping an eye on it will be key.
I'll do butts all day long but i'm a little intimidated about two briskets at once, let alone three haha. The butt is just so forgiving, cheaper, and no real investment in prep time. I get so pissed when I don't hit the sweet spot on a brisket, mainly because I hate the time it takes to trim it. Finally got a decent knife for Christmas though so it wasn't as painful last time.

WOT and let 'er rip. Open up that intake.
The lid, like mentioned by Andrew is fine but as soon as you put it back temps stabilize again. You can't really crack the lid and let her go for extended amount of time becuase it'll burn the briskets. In comparison, opening up the intake a bit will aid greatly. My $.02 at least.

I’m loading up the PBC for the first time today (4 racks of back ribs and 4 half-chickens). Any rhyme or reason on what to hang where? Also, anybody ever done a plain salt and pepper prep on ribs? My mom is diabetic and I was trying to think of a way to keep the sugar down for her.

Looks great! I went 2 parts pepper, 1 part salt, 1/2 part garlic and just a pinch of cloves. Breezy day here, so I’m having to work to keep the temps up. I’ll load the chicken in 15 minutes or so. I imagine I’ll have to crack the lid to get the temps where they need to be, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
