Not much of the pork loin was eaten, but most of the ribs and about half of the pulled pork was gone by the end. Lots of compliments all around, especially for the ribs. No pictures, sorry.

In my universe, that's called, SUCCESS.

Did some beef dino bones in the PBC this weekend. LOVE them dino bones!!

thedommer · 09-24-2018, 07:45 AM

Did my first Brisket this weekend. Wasn't a full brisket. around 1.4 kg. wagyu grassfed. Since it was small I laid it on the rack instead of hanging. at 160 I followed the PBC guidelines and wrapped it in foil, added some beef stock then put it back on the PBC until 200. I let it rest in a cooler for 45 minutes since any longer and the family would kill me.

The bottom half was perfect but the top half was a bit dry. Wondering how to resolve this. Is it that I should have hung it? Or maybe its that when I wrapped it I should have flipped it over? Or maybe at like 90 degrees I flip it?

Probably a silly question, but where does one acquire these beef bones? I don't seem to ever run across them in the grocery or Costco but they look AWESOME!

I get mine at Restaurant Depot. They ALWAYS have them in stock here. That last dino rib cook was a practice cook for an annual competition I have coming up this weekend between a few buddies and I. I'll be hitting up RD again tomorrow to get both some beef and baby back ribs.

Here a question for anybody who may have the inside scoop on what Noah and the crew may or may not have goin on with the Pit Barrell. I'm currently considering picking up Weber Ranch Kettle but if Noah happens to have any plans on putting out a 55 gal PBC senior (since they did a Jr.), I'd be picking up one of those in a heartbeat!! Anyone know if one is in the works?

I may be wrong and should not even comment, but I might think that a 55 might not work as well as the shorter barrel for the cooking system. I am sure he has a good thing going right now, but I am sure there are future products coming his way.

Just fired it up today. Keeping it simple this weekend. Just doing two large meatloaves(meatloafs?) for dinners this week, a roll of Jimmy Dean sage sausage with a bit of Killer Hogs rub on it, and another block of Spam. All on a grate rather than hanging.

Looks good, Dom! Never grated my brisket so not sure what to tell you. I don't think a lot of guys are flippers though. My best guess is the moist side had the fat cap and that was the diff.

Huli Huli chicken on the PBC, from Mr. Smoky Ribs BBQ:

Love that fella and the recipe is legit. Flavors pop, sweet and spicy, moist, pretty, skin was preserved even with the huli huli sauce; flavorful crispy char. Used chicken quarters. Good stuff. I recommend this prep.

Sooner21 · 09-29-2018, 08:39 PM

Nice looking chicken!

BigKing · 10-04-2018, 04:02 PM

That chicken looks fantastic.

I haven't cooked in probably five weeks due to life and, more to the point, a diet. Will be doing either 3 or 6 racks of ribs and who knows what else on Saturday. Been thinking about the ribs for the past five days.

Can't wait.

Well, a couple months ago when I was working 7-12's for two months I ordered just about every craycort option I could for my cookers. When I got the shipment I realized the Smokey Joe Griddle and grate fit the PBC Jr. Here's a short video showing it getting installed.

Well f*#&@ thanks for the video, guess I’ll order.
