Pit Barrel Cooker (PBC) Appreciation Thread

That looks good. Will have to try some when my pig is ready at the butcher.

Shoulder. Turned out pretty good but not as moist as I like. I think next time I will keep the rebar in while cooking them in the sauce. Fire was a bit hotter than I expected and the sauce burned around the edge of the pan a bit.

looks killer from here Bob

Just purchased a PBC today, largely due to working my way through this thread. Cant wait for it to get here now. I had been smoking ribs on a tiny little brinkman smoker, if my neighbour sneezed in its general direction it would lose 20 degrees. this will be a great upgrade.

ROFL! You'll probably lose your mind when you pull out the food the first time.

Welcome Chowdown! I like your username...lol. Once you get your PBC I promise you will live up to that name for sure.....Glad you enjoyed the thread enough to decide to buy a PBC. We are all looking forward to seeing what you do with your PBC when you get it....:thumb:

so tracking shows it gets here on Thursday. I am thinking ribs and chicken on Friday. I noticed in the videos on the PBC website he doesnt wrap his ribs at all (i always did the 3-2-1 method on my old smoker). Do you guys just leave them hanging the whole time?

 

[Thingfish]

Yes, sir ... I let 'em hang! The chicken should take around 2 hours and the ribs 3 to 4 (depending on each rack's qualities). Enjoy!

I decided to try a little something different this weekend, in addition to 2 whole chickens. I breaded some eggplant,with mozzarella and roasted red peppers, and rolled it in chicken breast. I cut the breast twice without actually cutting completely through it. Then used the tenderizer to get it more flat prior to rolling. Came out pretty good, not perfect but a good start!

I have had some bad luck with heavy wind blowing my kettle off the deck...twice. After the second time the amount of smoke coming from everywhere I decided to use the table for my PBC! fits nicely!

Looks like you're ready for a BBQ Brethren Throwdown! Nice work!

Nice re-purposing! I like that.

 

[AClarke44]

That's a cool repurposed performer table....did you find that somewhere or is it from your old performer? I'd like that for sure but I'd be too tempted to put my kettle in it....:becky:

That's super cool Jefferson. :thumb:

It's from my kettle but the damage was too bad so I kept this for my pit barrel. Took the ash catcher off the kettle and put it on another kettle that didn't have one. Really all I am left with is the bottom of kettle and the propane ignition that I have not used yet. So I still have a 22.5 kettle just free standing. A UDS and the PBC.

 

[Johnd170]

Great idea Jefferson!

 

[Deebo]

That is a fantastic idea and I'm sold in it!! I'm keeping an eye on craigslist to see if I can come across a performer table for my PBC!

 

[dcimike125]

Cool idea. Can you smoke like that on the performer or do you have to take it off first?. I await (pacing and refreshing the tracking page) the Fedex guy with my new PBC on Fri. Moving up from a POS Brinkmann offset.
