Pit Barrel Cooker (PBC) Appreciation Thread

Long time no post. I like to separate the flat and point to cook separately. This is the saved point I had from last cook. Seasoned simply with salt and pepper.

Sliced up

Close up, which doesn't really do it justice. It came out great.

Wow 4 days without a post in the PBC thread. Does anyone use splits in the PBC, will it burn too hot? I know I've seen a couple pics of PBCs with wood in them.

Never whole splits. Just chunks. I think it would burn too hot. Even think I read a specific warning against burning splits. Have to look.

I tried to search the topic and started to look through the thread. That ain't happening, the thread is hugh.

Can I use the PBC as a fire pit?

Absolutely NOT! The PBC is designed for the temperature at which standard briquets burn, anything else may burn too hot for the design and air flow.

Not sure this is definitive or not....

I’ve got a turkey breast I want to cook on the PBC tomorrow. Never done one in it before. Any of you guys done it? Any advice or a good preparation to share?

Just full splits and no charcoal? Or splits on top of charcoal?

My buddy used his as a straight fire pit with a bunch of splits in it while camping on numerous occasions. Nothing happened to it.

charcoal with one or at most 2 splits on top

To me that's as designed and the same as using 6-8 chunks. I'm taking about burning a full wood fire.

Damn Donnie...sorry to hear brother. How everything else coming along? Have you been able to get the rest of the house and your other cookers going? Ready made BBQ boxes seemed they were doing pretty well BH.

yep I agree with ya Sportster that is why I started doing one or two splits instead of doing 6 or 8 chunks. would defiantly not recommend all wood

Bittersweet. She was sold almost immediately and I was given a deposit to hold it for a month since the new owner is getting a surprise for his birthday. She's off to her new home on Monday.

After 2 1/2 years of heavy, and I mean heavy use (multiple times a week at a minimum) she cleaned up farkin' nice.

I placed the bottom straight on concrete so many times and the edges still look great. Look at the bottom also. You would think that heat and the heavy use would've damaged or destroyed it. Gotta love enamel.

Did you scrape the stucco off the inside?

Stucco.

ound: Dude! I chuckled. :thumb:

I scraped a spot off and I hit bare metal immediately. I realized I was scarping the seasoning off so I left it alone. I scraped the sh&t out the bottom though and got all the crud off. Left the seasoning on.

Sorry about the PBC loss Donnie. I'm sure you have many, many priorities for your money these days, but in time I hope a new PBC comes your way!

Yours in the spirit of Sauna Girl!

These Tri-Tips got an hour in the PBC until they were between 125-135. Then I seared them off (pic is pre-sear).
