Thank you folks!!
I was cooking in 30 minutes from  opening the box.
I was cussing the whole time I was eating that chicken.
Chicken was at 139 in 35 minutes. Then I cranked PBC to 400 degrees. It's ridiculous how evenly cooked and browned.

LOL! Most likely.
I'll need to play around with it coz I have a bunch of charcoal left in the basket. Had to choke the holes with aluminum foil.

What holes? The 4 near the top of the barrel? You typically just put the rebar rods that come with it in those. The remaining airspace around them is part of the design. It si the correct amount of sq. inches for venting your cooker - and maintaining constant temp.

Tee I think he might have choked the holes to stop the burning coals to be used later.

Looks great. Did my first cook today on the PBC and it was great. Chicken was done in  an hour and 15 minutes; bb ribs in about 2 hours. Will post some pics soon.
