Thought I would share this recent review from Amazon on the benefits of the PBC:
Best I have ever owned!
Having been a professional chef and BBQ enthusiast most of my life, I have owned and done it all when it comes to BBQ. Kettle grills, gas grills, eggs, you name it, at one point in time I have owned it. Prior to receiving this item as a gift from a friend, I owned a BGE, and while I liked it, I spent too much time constantly tinkering with it to get the airflow just right, and that got old. It got so old that the BGE just sat there without being used. Then I got the PBC, and I am now using it at least twice a week, and year around. I have cooked ribs, brisket, pork butts, pork loins, chicken, burgers, brauts, hot links, steaks of all kinds (NY, Ribeye, Skirt, Flank, Tri-Tip, Hanger, etc), turkey, duck, venison, bison, pizza, and I have even made flat breads and pita's on it. Oh, and you don't have to mess with it. Load the briquettes, light it, load it, and leave it. How can you go wrong? You get the picture by now, I LOVE THIS THING
