cooker

Ok I have a PBC and love it. However, when I do ribs they cook to fast! I have measured the internal temperature at 325 ( average ). I suspect using less charcoal will lower the temperature. Also - has anyone tried to close off the vent at the bottom ( close it completely ) Thanks - Ed.

Here are some pics from the first cook on the new Green Mountain Grills pellet cooker, Jim Bowie model. Wanted to cook some wings and legs to help check the heat distribution on this cooker. My first impression.... I LIKEY!

I just made this unique smoker from a 50 year old whiskey barrel (1" oak). It's not complete, as I have to put in the air vents, propane burner, and the smoke stack. It has (2) 22" grates, enabling it to hold 8 full racks of ribs or 12 pork butts. I will have more pics when complete. Any...
