Not always..I just adjust as needed. After I put charcoal in I usually open or close as needed. Once it gets about where I want I close down either all the way or an 1/4 inch or so.

I never adjust mine, just set it for sea level and let it do its thing. I also run my intake 180 to the wind and have never had any issues.

Here is my latest invention for the PBC. I call it a Pork-Swing. I use it for pork butts on the numerous occasions where I have other things hanging in the PBC, and I can't put the stock grate in when the butt hits 165 and needs to be foiled and put on a grate. No more finishing butts in the oven for me! Total cost is about $12.00 and it takes about 20 seconds to make.

Yeah, my goal is 100% stainless steel so that I can just toss the Pork-Swing in the dishwasher when after each cook. I used carbon steel #14 jack chain just for it's maiden voyage (pictured) because I was too impatient waiting for all of my stainless steel chain to come in via snail mail. Now I'm swimming in small stainless steel chain. I've got 35' in total!!!
I overbought the small SS chain because it's one of those things where $1.00 worth of chain costs $6.00 in shipping. If anybody wants to build one of these, send me a pm and I'll send you a few feet in an envelope via USPS for free. It was this thread that talked me into buying a PBC and boy am I glad I did! After I bought it, it was this thread that taught me how to go from a gasser only neanderthal to a fatty smoking, pork butt pulling, rib hanging, drum tender. Thanks guys! I bought 5' of jack #12 304 stainless steel jack chain from McMaster Carr to replace the temporary carbon steel chain. Soon after I ordered the SS jack chain, I found 27 ft of some great 304 SS 6mm curb chain for $15. Next I bought 30" of 9mm 304 SS curb chain necklace on Amazon because I knew it would come in 2 days. My 8" swing is currently sporting the 9mm jack chain. Now my swing has some bling! Having tried the curb chain I can say without hesitation that it's superior to the #14 jack chain. The jack chain is kink prone, it's very difficult to clean, and worst of all, each link is essentially a 1/2" long double-link, and the links are too small to get a hook through, so the chain has to actually sit on top of the chain. That makes finding a precise balance point a bit fiddly. The curb chain is much less prone to kinking, slides fluidly over the hook to a perfect balance point, is much easier to clean, and frankly just looks kind of awesome! I'll post a pic in a bit. |

Just popping back in to say thanks for the idea and tips. Took the PBC tailgating and did buffalo turds on the grate with three racks of baby backs cut in individual "riblets", placed in baskets, and hung. Ribs took about 90 minutes and were plenty tender with just the right amount of smoke. The PBC was a hit. People kept walking by asking what was in there. Sorry for the lack of pics. I was more basted than the ribs by the time the food came off.

These skewers are plenty available here so I just looped the ends into hooks for hanging in the drums. I hang beef, ground beef, pork, wings, sausages etc without any issues. I plan on doing Churrasco soon. This was on Sunday in the Hunsaker drum Ground beef/pork kabobs Pork shoulder chunks also Nothing fell or burnt
