I'm kind of a PBC rookie, just got mine a few months ago.
So far have been pretty happy with the results on my 6 or 7 cooks.
I had looked around online for PBC forums but most had little to no activity. This one looks to be different looking forward to learning new tips and sharing new ideas.
Here's some of my cooks so far...
First off had to try some pork back ribs (doesn't everybody? )
They came out pretty well but left them on a bit too long.
Next I did a Tri tip it was cooked perfectly but wish I would have cracked the lid the last 15 min or so to get a better crust on it.
Next was a full load of ribs for a party. Very happy with how they came out, but learned how much to try to get racks of similar size and weight so they finish around the same time.
One of my only disappointments was a pork butt, took f o r e v e r to hit 165 and even longer to reach just 190 finally pulled it as we were hungry, I think I didnt get a good start with it and it just never really got hot.
Finally I took the plunge and got a 12lb brisket. It came out AWESOME! Only 5.5 hours after the pulled pork delay I started early and of course it was done way before everybody was due to arrive. It was wrapped in towels and put in a cooler for just over 6 hrs before we were ready to eat, luckily it was still steaming hot. Soooo juicy and tender.
Have also made a few chickens which have been quite tasty.
Right now I have 2 turkey breasts hanging.
So far im loving my PBC!!!
