Full Fledged Farker
This last Sunday, as my intro to Brethren Bashes and related items, my wife and I went to gtr’s annual Labor Day hog roast and social soirée. Had a blast, and it was great to meet Greg and Marty (campdude), see his amazing collection of cookers at work, and eat some amazing food.
I was talking with Greg about my plans to pick up a PBC, and, the long and short of it is that he passed along to me the well-seasoned, first-generation, powder-coat PBC that had recently been passed along to him. That’s just amazingly generous and one of the reasons this seems to be a special place in the midst of the general hideousness the web can be. The whole “pay it forward” thing is a concept I’ve always loved, and this just adds to the things I owe folks for that fit into that category. So, when it’s time for me to upgrade or something, this will pass along to someone who can use it.
So, this weekend will be my first PBC cook, and I’m figuring a chicken or two since, a) they seem to be something the PBC does really well, and, b) I did a weeks worth of ribs a week and a half ago, did pork loins for the coming week yesterday, and it’s time to vary the rotation with some bird. I need to pick up some KBB, since all I have around is lump, and I want to do things “by the book” at least the first couple of times, just to learn the cooker and start to dial things in.
I’ve read through all 611 pages of the PBC Appreciation thread <phew>, and I think I know what I’m doing, but I’m sure there will be some surprises along the way. Some of which will probably be things I’ll laugh at later.
