Well that's a mod I'm doing. We can get some pretty hot and humid summers here in STL, but then can be 40F in December and bone dry. I do have to adjust my cap a little based on weather.

Can you post a pic on the PBC. Thanks.
Do you put that on inside the barrel and then the stock nut over it? I am not very handy, probably a dumb question. I am going to do that ASAP. Side note has anyone put a ball valve on the bottom?
How's did it take 400 pages for you to show us that mod?
And why did you stucco the inside of your PBC?

Actually, it's kind of surprising that it doesn't come with a lock washer. They are pretty standard when a bolt and nut are used. They are used to prevent the shifting that has been referred to.
Sure enough. Still 299 on the Pit Barrel site but discounted on Amazon. If you're on the fence pull the trigger now. First discount I've seen in a while.
Lump would make it run hotter but based on everything you've said I think your vent cap (intake) is just a tad too closed. Open it up a little and see what happens.
This. Pull the trigger. It has been the latest version 2 years now.
I was hoping to post this month that this thread is the reason I finally decided to buy a PBC... Well, it is! But this sale did not hurt one bit!
Thanks so much for all the info in this thread, I'll hopefully be posting some first cook pics next week!!
Amazon selling the PBC for $259. Is that for the latest version?
Thanks so much for posting this. They're already sold out but I grabbed one thanks to your post.
I just went to Amazon and see the PBC is now listed at $391.09 and is available from these sellers:
Outdoor/Grills
BBQ/Smoker/Grill/Grilling/Backyard/cooking/fun/portable/tailgating
Charcoal Grill
Outdoor Cooker
I wonder if the Pit Barrel Cooker Company is no longer selling direct thru Amazon and Amazon discounted the price to clear out their inventory. The other day I saw they were selling it for $284 and thought that it was odd.
