I built a 30gal drum pit with two rebar rods, some hooks and an intake only difference is mine is not powder coated and no horseshoes. Oh well.
I probably have $ 80 - 100 invested. This isn't rocket science

-At that price it will definitely be used - PBC is new -Most likely needing burned out - PBC ready to cook 20 min after receiving -Not gonna be porcelain coated (or painted for that matter and it'll need painted after you burn it) - PBC Porcelain coated -Wire brushed scraping required if its got a liner in it - Again PBC is ready to go within 20 min -55 gallon drum - PBC is 30 gallon which some believe actually is a better size for cooking due to some scientific jargon that I wanna believe and 30 gallon is harder to find usually making it more expensive...... Face it you want a PBC too!

Wow that's a great price! .......Would you mine breaking down the cost of your parts for us? Not disagreeing with you just curious. If you add powder coating I'm guessing that's another $70-100?? Which would put you close to the $200 mark....

As I mentioned to Ninja if you can find a better price on a a new 30gallon drum let me know and I will be glad to update my figures. Looking further at the the barrel I posted above, I am not sure if it would be safe to use for smoking. But perhaps the lining could be burned out. I wonder if some of the folks who build UDS's can comment on that. Thanks all for your help.

I already broke down the price of mine, $80-100. Probably closer to $100. Do you happen to have a vested interest in the company or are you just that excited about your new cooker?

The point of my post is that if people say they can build a PBC clone using all new materials of the quality used by the PBC Company and coat it with porcelain, then I would to see how they can do it.

Hey now everbody just wants to be proud of their cookers and the food it produces. Some folks like making theirs and others buying somthing ready to go. Mine might do this and yours might do that but at the end of the day if your family and friends like the chow then we win!

My question was simple and just for a comparison but telling me you already broke down the price by saying it cost you $80-100 total doesn't really tell us anything. Not sure if that last question was for me but since I'm quoted I assume it was so I'll answer. ......I didn't start this thread Bob did and the little that I know of him he enjoys his PBC. Is that strange? I mean there's a 100 page thread here about building a UDS. Those people love their cookers too. I don't have a vested interest in PBC but I think for the price it's a great cooker. I actually bought mine used for about half price but now that I have cooked on it I would have no problem buying new if I needed another one. Edit: Another point, some people don't like the thought of using a used drum to cook their food in. Crazy or not it's true and that's why comparing the cost would need to be a new barrel as ALL PBC's are built from new barrels.

I think it's safe to say that the average Joe, can't buy the parts for the price that someone who is buying hundreds of them. That's why people buy used drums and make their own pits. Nothing at all wrong with... To each, their own

Very well said. Thanks. As someone once said (and I am paraphrasing) let's all smoke a fatty.
