Does anyone else see bats?
Does anyone else see bats?
i just received my PBC!!!! im excited to get started on it, but it will have to wait until thursday before i start.
Glad to see people hanging corn! Now let's see some foiled baked potatoes! If you do hang them down to fire level....1 hour @ 350 on my temp gauge makes the best baked taters. Foil and poke with a knife.Overall this cooker is a beast. Glad I went this route instead of going back to a WSM.

I have done it all to and a the same stage you are. The PBC is as good as it gets. I went at it like I like I knew how to cook, but the PBC is a different animal. Save yourself some time and watch some PBC videos. I kinow you will enjoy it.I too have a PBC coming in the mail Friday. Planning to hang some ribs and corn on the cob Saturday. I'll post some pictures if I think of it.
I'm coming from the stick burning world and while that was a lot of fun, and the color you get alone is almost worth the trouble, I'm just not in the right life stage to be babysitting a fire all day long with two little ones at home. Need something I can get the smoke rolling and walk away.
I used a WSM for a few years and got bored with that, so tried stick burning. Now instead of going back to a WSM figured I would do something a little different. I have always been intrigued by the PBC and have done a lot of reading, so I'm excited I finally get to try it!
Cheers!
Used the PBC for the 1st time this past weekend. Did st louis ribs and a whole chicken. Just getting around to posting pics now. This has to be the easiest coal cooker I've ever used. I followed the instructions exactly, even the videos from the web site for the specific meat. Full basket of charcoal, 8 ounces of Weber Hickory Chunk evenly spread out, and lit 40 briquettes in my chimney. I had my thermoworks probe in the whole time just to be certain about the cooker temp. Did the ribs first, after I hung them temp was about 290. It fell to about 247 then slowly climbed back up to 288 over the 3 hour cook. I didn't mess with the cooker at all. Pulled the ribs off and hung the chicken. Temp was steady at 270 for the 2 hour cook. The last 10 minutes, I place the grill grate over the hanging bars right side up. The handles of the grate made a gap at the lid and I was able to get the temp up to 350. I was trying to crisp up the skin. The skin didn't get as crispy as I like, next time I'll try 15 minutes. Bottom line, the PBC gives amazing flavor and you can't beat the simplicity. Can't wait until the next cook.
We ate the ribs too fast and I forgot to get a picture of the whole rack. lol.

aclarke and bob...u guys need to stop conning these guys into this cooker!!!!!
:wink: jk...u guys are doing it right! lots of positive reviews on this thing! i ALMOST wish i had one....ALMOST lol
Besides the Shirley he's gonna have another cooker that can do it all....spin over fire, hang, grill and hang/spin over charcoal if he wanted. I'm gonna be jealous.Lol. Almost! You can pretty much duplicate what we are doing in the Shirley. You should hang something in that warmer box and see how you like it. Ssv3, does it on his LSG with excellent results. Although he still cooks in his PBC. ....:becky:
