She's Heeeeeeeere! The Hunsaker

[Free Mr. Tony]

Thanks Jeremy! 30 and 55

Mark has thrown out feelers on facebook to see if anyone had interest in the 30 or 85 gallon drums. Sounded like he may start making them soon. Can't imagine the 85. That is massive.

I think I could dig on a 26-1/2" grate. That's a lot more real estate over a 22.5". I don't like slinging 2 grates on my drum- just a pita. a 40% bigger single grate? Yes please.

I would be interested to see the larger size. I've done a few cooks now using 2 grates though I could have easily taken 2 cookers with me. To make life easier on those cooks I only access the lower grate once after putting stuff on to take things off that can then finish in an oven wrapped up.

Obviously the larger the cooker the less mobility and added weight. But if it ain't moving anywhere it would be sweet :-D.

What's the pan under the drum for? Catching ashes?

There we go. I'll take a 30 and a 85 to complete my set of three. :becky:

Just to catch any drippings. I was told initially it may leak because of the drum being brand new before it's seasoned well. Ashes fall in the ash pan and I just dump it out. Easy enough.

Not much really dripped.

Wow horrible typing on my part, glad you were able to decipher it :becky:

Anyway my PBC is about 5yrs old and has seen some good use. It’s been my quick chicken and rib cooker during that time and I like to think I have it dialed in pretty well - I have no issue to crack the lid for higher heat if needed.

That being said I like the multi level grates and larger size of the Hunsaker so if I want to wrap after hanging it’ll give me more space. I’ve also wanted a heat deflector at times so the vortex is nice :clap:

So that’s what I was thinking lol :icon_shy

When I had a WSM 18.5, I used to cook with a clay diffuser in place of the water pan and directly over the coals at times, the Vortex plate gives you the best of both worlds imo, plus you get even cooking temps across the cooker.

Must've been the excitement during typing.:biggrin1: btw I meant to say mine not my.

Soooo...which color are you thinking? Or is yours already on the way.:heh:

PBC is a hot item. Sell almost instantly.

Bigger cooks I get dripping, but I one butt or even brisket and i don't get much.

I can't imagine buying a Hunsaker and not going for the red model.

I don't even line my pan under the drum with foil, one wipe with a paper towel most of the times takes care of takes care of it.
