    PGSmoker's Best Damn Sauce Ever (BDSE)

    Had a pork shoulder in the smoker today and ran across this thread. Perfect time to give this recipe a shot. I halved the recipe and had plenty of time to mix and heat as suggested. What more can be said other than this is a great sauce. The whole family used it generously on abnormally...

    Photo 7 shows the opening view from the fire box -  Photo 8 is within the cooking chamber where I bolted on the sheet metal. Hope that helps.

    PIT BARREL COOKER

    4 hours is a strong estimate on the time I cook ribs - 3 or 7 racks took the same time. If ambient temps are high or if there's direct sunlight on the PBC things will cook faster. I will hang my ribs and revisit them in 3:50 (on a hot day I'll revisit in 3:30) - Typically I'll add sauce and...

    New - Oklahoma Joe's Highland Smoker

    My friend that build me the heat plate is no longer working at the same place, so no access to materials and tools... The sheet he built me is a little thicker than 1/8 inch aluminum. Stainless would have been nice but this one is working out just fine. My plate has a bend in it nearest the...

    PIT BARREL COOKER

    Just a quick follow up after a month or two of use with the PBC. I've used this a bunch since the weather has moved away from summer, and I've had great results with every cook. My wife likes food off the PBC better than any other cooker\grill\smoker I've owned or used so far. I showed her how...

    Kamado restore

    Great project - I'd love to find a neglected unit and work on a restoration. The tile units are snazzy, very cool that you took time to re-grout as well. Enjoy!

    PIT BARREL COOKER

    I hadn't done ribs in a while so that's what I had going this weekend. For the life of me I couldn't get the membrane off the back of any of them (normally then come off just fine...) but I kept on with the plan and had great results. I was looking for a cooker that would provide good results...
