(I’m going to be posting a number of reviews over the next month or so. In addition to this review, I’ll also be taking a look at the Pit Boss pellet grill/smoker, some rubs, some flavoring agents, some pellets and another smoker.) Are you a connoisseur of cutting boards? I was going to go...

What, in your opinion, is the easiest smoker to use that also provides the best smoke flavor? When I speak of easiest I mean the easiest prep before the smoke, the easiest to manage during the smoke, and the easiest to clean up after the smoke. When I speak of the smokiest, I mean the closest...

I was thinking about drum smokers, not UDS but, drum smokers people can buy without the time, skills, or access to make their own. Hunsaker and Gateway are certainly nice but, at ~$900 shipped are pretty darn expensive (for 55-gallon models). Then you have Pit Barrel Company and Barrel House...

Greetings to a new user from the frozen tundra of the upper Midwest USA! I am new to the BBQ scene since being the lucky recipient of a new Pit Barrel Cooker(PBC) for Christmas 2017. In the last few weeks, the weather has warmed up enough to do a few cooks of whole chicken, pork ribs, beef...

As was posted a couple days ago, Target has their Weber briqs on clearance right now. I hear it's really good stuff, so I loaded up. I've been using my PBC a lot lately and I've only used KBB in it so far. Anybody have experience using Weber briqs in the PBC? Or an impression of them generally?

I cooked 12 kg of St. Louis ribs yesterday for about 30 guests, in my Pit Barrel Cooker which I bought a few years ago. Location was near the northeast shore of Lake Ontario, 305 ft above sea level, at the entrance to the St. Lawrence river. I have done this twice before, but this year I think...

I inadvertently discovered how to get a new cooker from my wife without even asking for it. My buddy got a new Yoder and of course I had smoker envy, so I started researching cookers and looking on Craig's List for Yoders and Klose and other good stuff I have no business getting. (Can't afford...

Poultry first. Did it all hot. I fired up a full chimney of lump with cherry wood and left the lid cracked for whole cook till breasts hit 170 or so (overshot a tad). Only took 45 minutes. Chicken seasoned comp pork n chicken. Wings with straight HDD. For those not in the know....these are...

Just the four of us, but I like variety....so got some small cuts. Made 2 lbs of suasage this morning About a 3.5lb brisket heavy with point About 4lb pork shoulder Brussels sprouts and a few tators This is where we are at....gonna actually let these run unwrapped at 250-275 till I feel it's...

Looks like a very interesting alternative to the PBC. Has more accessories, a temp control damper for the intake, hinge for the lid, and seems easier to clean and load coals...

This isn't an anti PBC thread but rather a place where people can post and share their experiences with hanging or even spinning meats in various style cookers. Some are making their own hanging hooks so this could be a great resource for that as well. Ebijack has a great setup he made and...

A small cook with some drumsticks earlier and now some split breasts The finished product - 1' 15" and 270, then up to 325 another 15" to get to 165 internal: Super moist as you can see Close up Thanks for looking:wink:

Fellow PBC owners, I've owned my PBC for about 8 months and have made some great Q on it. However, my fire stalls from time to time on long cooks (pork butt, brisket, turkey, etc.). My digital thermometer is a single probe unit (Thermoworks Chefalarm), so I don't have a digital pit probe to...

I'm sure y'all are getting sick of PBC threads by now....Well this isn't one.:becky: These are the CSR's on sale @ Meijer for 1.39 Corn soaked in water for a couple of hours. Ok here we go... Corn on top and CSR's hanging below in my jimmy cooker. Note if you cook this way and have 2 hinged...

I've seen lots of appreciation threads for different cookers but I couldn't find one for the PBC so I decided to start one. I was thinking we could post different cooks, setups, mods (heaven forbid!), new ideas, or anything that pertains to the Pit Barrel Cooker. This will hopefully be a place...

I have a PBC but basically my question would apply to any cooker where the meat drippings go into the coals. The question is do you still get thin blue smoke or will you get more of a whiteish smoke due to the drippings hitting the coals? I cooked 2 butts in the PBC for the first time this...

Hello Fellow Brethren, This is my first post on the Q and I don't mean to beat a dead horse with the PBC vs WSM topic. I've been grilling on a Weber Genesis for the past few years and have always been interested in smoking and grilling with charcoal. After browsing online and doing some...

So I have 2-3 lb chuck roast that I would like to cook on the Pit Barrel Cooker tonight... My question is, should I use a little less charcoal? I'm only planning on bringing the meat to around 120-125... Pulling it and wrapping in foil until it comes to around 140. Its just really hard to...

So my pit barrel cooker is arriving this afternoon... My question is, I'm planning on doing a chicken to break it in and I have some apple chunks. How many chunks for 1 whole chicken, halved?

So I'm planning on cooking a fresh 16lb turkey in my PBC on Friday and would appreciate advice, tips etc from those of you who have successfully cooked a turkey on the PBC. I have watched PBC video on this but I am interested in what has yielded the best results. Do you recommend I -hang...
