PBC question
« Reply #-1 on: April 04, 2015, 03:33:34 AM »
I've seen a few people's sigs on here say porcelain coated PBC.  Is that standard in the PBC? Or an option? Not seeing anything about it on their website.

Hello and welcome.
The Porcelain coated PBC is the newer version.

I have one and it is easily the best money I have spent in a while.

Very versatile and loads of fun, plus super easy.

All the best.

The first vintage was lighter steel and powder coated.  The new iteration is heavier steel and porcelain coated.

We first heard about it here.  Followed by this ten days later.

Go for it if you're thinking about buying one.  It's a great cooker and priced right.  You'll get tons of help on this forum.

The price difference is only 10 bucks between the new and old version. You also get a beefed up charcoal basket. Everything is bolted instead of tack welded. Go for it, you will be happy you did  :)

Fantastic improvements on an already great cooker! I believe the new version is the only one available now.

Buy one you won't be disappointed!

Porcelain enamel coated is the standard PBC. That's why you don't see any options. Best thing you'll ever spend your had earned money on.

Yeah, the only problem is I already convinced my wife that the Traeger was the best thing I've ever spent my money on :D. Not sure she'll go for it again.

Does she only have one pair of shoes? Or one type of lipstick? Or only one necklace?

You have to put it in perspective.... Or just buy it and then deal with the consequences after :P
