Sweet! Looking forward to your review and how it compares to the original. Maybe see how it fits in a car trunk or backseat for portability?

It would suit my cook-capacity needs 90% of the time. And it has that shiny porcelain finish and better designed charcoal basket that my original PBC lacks. But ... I can't justify it at the moment.

Funny, the one thing I find a bit small about the standard is the grate space for doing things like wings. Although this junior appears it could handle my hanging needs just fine, I don't think it would handle my grate needs.

Turkey breast
Did a pre-Thanksgiving turkey breast. It was 10 lb, more or less. Took about 3 hours total with the turkey hanger to get to 160 degrees. Seasoned with Plowboys Yardbird. It came out great.

Nothing dry about that! That breast looks like a winner, my friend.

^^^^^ Excellent looking breast!!!
Question for the group - I am going to be cooking a whole turkey (maybe two depending on the number of guests) in the PBC for Thanksgiving and and am wondering if there are any tips/tricks to getting to proper IT with the dark meat without overcoming the breast. Or is the positioning with the hanger generally enough to shield the breast from heat while exposing the legs to more heat? Any advice is appreciated as I've never cooked a turkey in the PBC. |

Looks great! We always do a turkey in the oven and one in the PBC. I may consider doing a breast this year in the PBC since most folks aren't big fans of dark meat.

Temp control
I don't know how anyone gets low enough temps starting with 35 or so coals in the chimney and one-quarter to one-half open intake. But, after a lot of experimentation, removing the intake cover and replacing it with a sheet magnet (that a clothing store gave me!) and using 20 coals in the chimney, I get 200 degrees and no temp fluctuation. And, check out how narrow an opening I have set!. Great for smoking fish. 25 coals gets me 275-285.
The magnet also makes shutting the PBC down easier than jamming foil in the intake.

I use magnets over the rebar holes too when I shut it down, as well as over the intake to lower temp.

New Accessories
Pit Barrel Cooker Company just announced some new accessories. Some nice options and a pretty good price, especially the value pack:

Interesting. Almost like they've been watching the mods we've all tried in this thread over the years.
Next they'll give you a way to raise the charcoal basket. |
