Thanks sam3. I was hoping this thread would provide just that, lots of tips, tricks, and useful information for PBC owners to learn about.
So my chicken turned out pretty good. I have to admit though it wasn't my best. Unfortunately I don't know what the total reason was because I did just about everything different. Now I see why Aaron Franklin says only change one thing in a cook to determine if you like something better or not....lol. I used different coal, different rub, and it was my first chicken in the PBC. Before I bought the PBC I cooked chickens on my kettle using Stubbs and apple wood. I rubbed them with yard bird. Those always turn out great. Since I've pretty much been able to duplicate other cooks in the PBC with at least equal flavor I'm going to say it was either the coal I used (Kingsford hickory) or just that I like the yard bird rub better. Now having said all that let me say that the chicken did taste very good and was very very juicy, probably the juiciest I've made! The PBC settled in at about 310-315 with one rod pulled out. The last 15 minutes I put the rod under the lid to create more exhaust (as pictured a few posts earlier). This brought the temp to 350 which did a good job giving me crispy skin. Here's how it turned out.

Looks good Andrew. PBC makes the best and juciest chicken on earth.

You're right Bob....hanging in the pbc is way.better than hanging in anything else, and way way better than rotisserie. I gotta say it's the best galaxy!

That's funny....I liked your smaller basket idea but I didn't have any expanded metal. Just had fire bricks so I did it that way. One thing I did notice using that method is if you wanted to adjust the meat to not drip on the coals you could. Just another possibility.

Thought I would share this recent review from Amazon on the benefits of the PBC:
Best I have ever owned! Having been a professional chef and BBQ enthusiast most of my life, I have owned and done it all when it comes to BBQ. Kettle grills, gas grills, eggs, you name it, at one point in time I have owned it. Prior to receiving this item as a gift from a friend, I owned a BGE, and while I liked it, I spent too much time constantly tinkering with it to get the airflow just right, and that got old. It got so old that the BGE just sat there without being used. Then I got the PBC, and I am now using it at least twice a week, and year around. I have cooked ribs, brisket, pork butts, pork loins, chicken, burgers, brauts, hot links, steaks of all kinds (NY, Ribeye, Skirt, Flank, Tri-Tip, Hanger, etc), turkey, duck, venison, bison, pizza, and I have even made flat breads and pita's on it. Oh, and you don't have to mess with it. Load the briquettes, light it, load it, and leave it. How can you go wrong? You get the picture by now, I LOVE THIS THING

PBC on PBS!
I just finished watching the first episode of Steven Raichlen's new show called "Project Smoke" on PBS. He cooked chicken halves on the the PBC and got a nice mahogany color and super crisp skin by basting the birds twice with butter during the cook. I will have to give that a try. We all know already how flavorful and juicy PBC chicken is, and with this method it might turn out even better if possible! Happy Fourth everyone!

It sure would be nice if people who don't appreciate the Pit Barrel Cooker would refrain from posting in the Pit Barrel Cooker Appreciation thread. All the subtle put-downs aren't cute. They aren't relevant and they detract from the thread. Why would someone want to crap on an appreciation thread?
