Hanging Hickory Leg Quarters on the PBX

[InstinCure]

99c/lb, a few cents of my AP rub, perfectly fine grocery store brand charcoal was half price at $5/16lb (just burns hot and fast), and a few chunks of hickory.

Still can't believe the PBX 22" was on sale for $200. I was late to it- early this year, but a floor model with some screws loose seemed more fitting than any. Lol. I've never bought a new WSM, only used, so this is much more true "set-and-forget"

Threw a chunk of hickory on the grate with the chimney, then on top of the chimney as it neared fully ashed.

The wax/yellow beans are always great and creamy, no onions or bacon needed.

Coals in, 1hr, 2hr, sauced one at 3hr for about 10min before pulling.

Thanks for looking!

Chicken looks great. I don't know the PBX cooker, looks like a drum smoker.

Yep Pit Barrel Cooker, PBX is just the biggest at 22" I'm pretty sure. 1/4" thick, simple. Can't adjust it much at all like UDS without welding, but holds temp great.

The PBX retailed for I believe $500-600 new, but Academy Sports had it on sale a while for $200

Sweet. I have a UDS I built. Looks like a champ

Nice. Some day will get around to asking my friend to help me weld something "my" own.

I get a little more consistent each time. Luckily this time in that once the smoke turned translucent, it stayed that way throughout. No cracking each time wood caught .Thought for sure I was gonna have to wait a while, after accidentally catching all of the wood right off the bat.

A pit barrel Jr. is one of my tools. I run a stoker and can run from 200-390F. I got it to bring on camping trips. Superb at ribs! Really like it. Watch the wind.

Great cook. Love leg quarters. Have you tried curing them?

I'm not sure what you are calling 1/4" thick. Good drums are 1/16" thick and hard to find

Maybe the lid or base? I could've sworn but you're clearly right. With the enamel it feels way sturdier than my old chargriller or brinkmann offsets.

Yes I have cured them, more often than hot. These were a frozen family pack I needed thawed, skinned, and started within a couple hours. My rub has a little cure#1 and 1:11 parts celery seed, at least. I eat mostly pork and anything smoked (or last nights corned rib tips) gets some.

I like hot chicken/ham, too, and will throw in a dried ghost or few per quart of brine.
