I have a new PK360 and have only done two cooks. My father had a classic that did severe duty for years. So when I discovered the new PK360 I began to study and had one on order in fairly short order. Here's what I know thus far:
How are you lighting it?
I use a Weber chimney.
What fuel are you using?
I am a fan of both lump and briquettes. I have used both Rockwood lump and Royal Oak briquettes. I am hoping to land some better briquettes soon.
What is your clean out practice?
Broom out the hole and a blower thus far. Plan on a pressure washer from time to time as needed.
What accessories have you found useful? What accessories have not been useful?
- I like the PK charcoal basket but plan on fabricating something a bit better. I am a hobby machinist and fabricator.
- I have the Grill Grates - I have a set on another grill and like them.
- I have now adapted one of the air tubes to use a Guru Pit Viper combustion air blower controlled by a DigiQ or a FireBoard. I have had a DigiQ for years but just ordered a FireBoard this week. Of course a Thermapen and other gadgets as well.
Here is a photo of my first cook. I used lump with a few cherry blocks on a small piece of pork belly for ~7 hours, then added some sausage and wings. The photo isn't the best since the pork is wrapped at that point but it is all I have at this point!
