    PIT BARREL COOKER

    PIT BARREL COOKER

    I hung my brisket and it turned out perfect. I think the design intent is predominantly hanging. Haven't tried pork butt yet although you've now put the idea in my head 128522 The grill is actually higher than it looks and the chicken portions I put on it smoked without burning. I added wood...

    Pit Barrel Smoker - Brisket

    After removing from the oven I left it overnight in a cooler. I put it in the fridge then warmed it back to 140 or so later in the day. All things considered it turned out really good, my best yet. So, lessons learned? Put it on overnight and plan for a wee bit longer than six hours. As...

    Finally hit 190. No coals left now though. How long can you leave it in the cooler? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    Yeah I was thinking that the pan doesn't give much air flow. Trouble is, not much room to raise it up. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    Pit Barrel Smoker - Brisket

    My 12lb pre trimmed brisket is at 148 after 7 hours. How does the PBC website suggest 4-6 hours with a 16lb brisket??? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    PIT BARREL COOKER

    Has anyone tried wrapping brisket in butcher paper rather than foil? Whilst I haven't tried it yet (hopefully tomorrow) I'm dubious about wrapping in foil and broth.

    PIT BARREL COOKER

    Did a couple of racks of baby backs in my PBC on Sunday for its inaugural smoke. I followed the recipe on the website and sauced them which I don't usually do. The results were ok. Disappointed that the meat didn't fall off the bone but they tasted pretty good. They were in there for about 4hrs...
