Yesterday was ribs in the pit barrel cooker (Drum Smoker) and today was two slabs of pork bellies for bacon. The one slab has to be around 4 inches thick on one end. Bacon is off to the outside fridge to firm up and later to get vac sealed. Should be good for a while. LOL

BBQ Smoker Pit Barrel "Classic" - $250 Pickup in Arizona

On my old Camp Chef pellet grill. I would make up a smoke bomb, using a small stainless steel container with a few holes punches into it. Then I would add a layer of wood chips, pellets and 2-4 chunks of wood. Wire it shut then place it on the heat defuser. It helped a little,but there is no way...

Have not done ribs in the old bradley in a long time as they take longer to cook then the Pit Barrel Smoker but yesterday we got it going for some ribs. Trying to use the 3-2-1 method turned into 5-3-2. Not a big deal as I strted these around 10AM expecting they would take a long time. After the...

Small brisket in the Pit Barrel Cooker today. Trimmed out yesterday and layered with my homemade dry rub. Let sit in the fridge over night and 7AM this morning got the cooker going. About 5 hours latter the IT was 165F. Wrapped in butcher paper and back in till the IT was 210F. Held in my...

You have an air leak. I use the IQ 110 with my Pit Barrel Jr. Sometimes when the wind is right I'll have some runaway temps. I just reposition the smoker to get control back. Is is happening consistently? RG

Hey T how’s your Big Bad Smoker working for you? I just bought one today..

Honestly it worked great but only did a few cooks on it. Cutting ribs in half worked out great. After about 5 rib cooks, the Pit Boss Championship Barrel went on sale and I got it. The BBB is pretty thin and very entry level but it worked great for me and I'd buy it again. In fact, regret giving...

Looks awesome! Doing one in my new drum smoker Saturday. Fingers crossed be my first.

A burn barrel would work well with this pit and being able to control temps by only adding coals to it. Since it is now a used grill/smoker, I am gonna wait for the 70% off sale on FB marketplace. Probably less than a 3 hour drive for me. Awesome build. Wish welding was in my skill set.

I could not resist. Lord help me. I pulled the trigger. https://www.academy.com/p/pit-barrel-cooker-pbx-smoker

Careful man, I made a similar joke and now have a monster smoker in my garage! As seen in my avatar. Jim

Definitely! A burn barrel and a shovel is how they do it in those traditional Texas hill country BBQ joints. LOL the 70% off sale has already started! If you price a new Chud Box, you'll find they go for $2400 before sales tax and shipping. I can let this on go for $700 - which is just...

After the failure with the Scimitar Oryx Ribs last week, I decided to smoke up the venison rib roast staring at me every time I open the freezer. Trimmed it up, removing the silver skin and cleaned up the bones Lightly coated in sea salt for a dry brine for 30 hours Used mayo as a binder...

I smoke damn near everything between 250* & 275*, at times I will give them an hour at 200* for more smoke flavor, depending on which smoker I'm using, but you don't need to do that on your stick burner. You may have got some chitty ribs, it happens, they shouldn't have been dry, that tells me...

I'm also feeling better after reading Meathead's review of the PBX and Amazing Meats. Though I still have questions. https://amazingribs.com/more-technique-and-science/grill-and-smoker-setup-and-firing/amazing-pit-barrel-cooker-setup-tips/

Meathead at Amazingribs.com, has done a deep dive into smoke. Its worthy of your time. Smoke I ran across this video the other day, its from TRoy Cooks, who was an early influencer on YouTube. He bought a hanging kit for his 22 WSM and did a comparison to his Pit Barrel Cooker. He...

I own a Pit Barrel Jr and really like it. I take it with me when we go camping. The only thing I dislike is that it is too small to do large cuts like brisket. I went to modifying it right away. I added a second set of grate supports lower in the barrel so I could cook something tall, like a...

I've been planning this build since late last Fall. Just had to get the holidays behind me and shake off a case of the Lazy's! So my plan is a box for use as both a direct heat, live-fire smoker, and a high-heat grill. This type of cooker has become more popular lately. They're basically a...
