Is lookin for wood to cook with.
I have been noticing this issue when I cook on my pit barrel. Mostly when I use the grill (because I am afraid to use hooks and have the meat fall into the coal bin). I lay the piece of meat on the grill and go about cooking. Temps seem fine and then as the meat begins to get to where it is dripping on the fire, it seems to extinguish a section of the coals and the temp plummets. If I take the cover off for a few minutes, the fat on the coals catches fire but I don't think that is what I want. I guess I should consider a drip pan to stop this, but how do I install one in the pit barrel cooker? Any suggestions?
