I guess I'm one of the few that doesn't care about leaking lids or doors on a smoker. My WSM leaked smoke at the door and the lid and it cooked fine. Both of my Good One smokers leak smoke and they work great. I'm not even sure if my PBC's leak because I've not paid attention. They both work great.

Same. Not a real problem for me at the moment but could maybe turn into one?

So net I've found I get better results and no crispy ends, though that rack I dropped I just pulled off the coals with a glove and it was still delicious And it's not like I can eat a full rack in one sitting anyway, so it's a bit of pre-packaging too |

Congrats on learning the lesson quicker than I did. It took about a year, but I don’t measure the PBC temp anymore. It just does what it’s supposed to do. I just goof it up if I mess with it too much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How do you set up the partial basket cooks? I was thinking of giving it a try...maybe using bricks to keep the coals on one side of the basket. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Speaking of fuel... I have run into issues when doing a pulled pork - most recently two weeks ago. Hung 8 lb butt for about 4 hours - stalled at 158, wrapped in butcher paper and grated. And waited, and waited. My god, the stall - I know we've all been there. Finally got it into the 160s, but at about 8 hours, the PBC started losing it's power, eventually got down to 210ish and certainly looked like coal was spent. Do folks refuel their PBC on a long cook like this? Just finish in the oven? My two experiences with long cooks on large cuts I've run the barrel down and wasn't sure how folks handled. I did not get this butt as high as I wanted, ended up with a long wrapped rest and it tasted fine.. Thanks!

reason i bought the PBC was for set and forget...so i had no interest in adding lava gaskets etc....BUT I was also a total rookie when to came to smoking so i wanted to learn and hone my skills a bit...right off the bat the lid issue for me did result in cooks that didn't go well as temps got really hot and tended to stay there, etc. for you guys that don't bother watching temps etc. and food is great good for you - keep at it - that's the goal of this thing really. for others though that might have a lid issue that's affecting their cooks....this is what i bought and installed. and yes, goes on like weatherstripping around edge of lid where lid sits on cooker.

I've been having issues with KBB and long cooks I bought a good amount when it was on sale so I'm trying to to go through it before I buy anything else. Last year my New Year resolution was to no longer monitor internal temps of my barrel and I'm getting same results with so much less stress. Let the PBC do it's thing I'm a firm believer now

Thanks for the response! I'm assuming it is the same cook time but let me know if I am wrong.

This is the method I use for super long cooks. This cook, the coals lasted roughly 13-14 hours. |

Picked up an 11.2# brisket today and need some advice as I’ve never done one before. Tips to prep, brine, trim, cook, wrap, etc. don’t want to screw this up so any advice is welcome.
