    Shoulder on the PBC

    I actually didn't try it. I want to though...really want to save the bark. For those if you that have done it, do you have any actuals on cook time? Did you have to reload the charcoal? I usually budget about an hour per pound using the foil.

    Shoulder on the PBC

    ive done a few shoulders now on the pbc and want to try one without foiling it. Anyone have any tips or experience with it? Cook time? Better bark?

    Question/Help with new Pit Barrel Cooker

    I got shoulders down with it. Haven't tried ribs again yet, but hopefully will be this weekend. I think I'm going to try skipping the foil wrap on the shoulder next time. I miss that crust, and wrapping it just steams the crunch out of it. Anyone done this?

    Question/Help with new Pit Barrel Cooker

    Thanks for the input. I hope things get better with it. Like I said, I was really looking forward to this thing and want it to be good. The burying of the wood is a really good idea! Also...when waiting the 15-20 after dumping the coals, lid on or off? I'm guessing on.

    Question/Help with new Pit Barrel Cooker

    So you went against the add chimney and immediately begin cook like website says? Do you not see the added wood as an issue?

    Question/Help with new Pit Barrel Cooker

    Hello all - first time posting. Hoping I can get some help and feel a little better Bout my purchase. I fired this thing up for the first time this weekend. Cooked a shoulder on Saturday that turned out pretty well. I wasn't blown away by it like a lot of reviews I had read, but it was good...
