    Upgrade suggestions from Loco

    I have a gen 1 Loco 36 inch griddle and the surface temps vary wildly so I am looking to replace it. I am leaning toward the Traeger Flatrock or the Halo 4b. I am having a plumber check to see if its viable running NG to my griddle location, so that answer may sway me further to the Halo. I have...

    Can you hang beef back ribs in PBC?

    I am thinking about cooking beef back ribs for the first time and I was wondering if they will hold up being hung from the pit barrel cooker with hooks? I don't want to find them in the coals around the 5 hour mark!

    Can you hang beef plate ribs in Pit Barrel Cooker?

    I am wanting to cook two racks of Beef Plate Ribs and I was wondering if two hooks will support them in the PBC until they finish around 202 internal? I am worried they are going to fall off into the coals at some point during the cook. Has anyone cooked them this way? Thank you

    Pit Barrel Cooker slow to come to temp

    Yesterday I cooked some ribs and after letting the top layer of coals in the chimney turn white, I really didn't have any temp problems at all. It did fall down to 250 or so a couple of hours in so I cracked the lid to get it back up to 270+, but it was nothing like the issues I was having...

    Pit Barrel Cooker slow to come to temp

    So I did a dry run and let the coals in the chimney look like yours. It took about 20-25 minutes in the chimney but the temp in the barrel immediately went up to 280 and stabilized so THANK YOU for your help! I did not fill up the basket 100% since I wasn't cooking anything, but I wish I had to...

    Cool thank you! I don't think I am letting my chimney go long enough.

    Pit Barrel Cooker slow to come to temp

    After 15 minutes the coals at the very top of the chimney are not yet white but the goals underneath the top layer are. Maybe I should let it go for 18 minutes?

    Pit Barrel Cooker slow to come to temp

    Hey Jason, Thank you for the response. On my last cook, I used Royal Oak Classic briquettes (a yellow bag that says "classic" on it). I started the PBC per the instructions except I let the chimney go for 15 minutes - it was sufficiently lit. I had the bottom vent 25% open since I am in the...

    Pit Barrel Cooker slow to come to temp

    I am currently in the middle of my first cook with the PBC and it took forever to come up to temp (260F). I filled the basket full of B&B Oak Briquettes and then removed some to fill up the chimney. I lit the PBC chimney per the instructions on their site and let the starter cube go for 12...
