Cooker On The Way
« Reply #-1 on: January 07, 2016, 10:07:10 AM »
I finally pulled the trigger on a Pit Barrel Cooker and it will be delivered on Friday. After reading all the positive reviews on it I couldn't resist. I've been using an small electric smoker for years so definitely looking forward to the upgrade. I was looking at the Big Green Egg for a while but couldn't get the funds together for it and I couldn't beat the price of the Pit Barrel. Hoping to have some food pics up by the weekend.

Welcome...Now you will be able to cook some real bbq at home.  Just be sure to look at Noah's videos and go by his instructions for the first few cooks. Will be waiting on some pictures.

I was looking at the Big Green Egg for a while but couldn't get the funds together for it and I couldn't beat the price of the Pit Barrel. Hoping to have some food pics up by the weekend.

I was in the same boat as you.  I really wanted a BGE, but couldn't justify the purchase price.  I did research and stumbled upon the PBC, purchased one, and have never looked back.  Best investment I may have ever made for the home. 

I can't speak for an electric smoker...not sure i've ever had anything from it before.  But PBC ribs, whole chickens, turkeys, brisket, chicken wings, and chicken breasts....they are all amazing on the PBC.  Follow the instructions from Noah for your first few cooks.  He suggests a tri-tip for your first cook...at least 2 years ago when I contacted him that is what he suggested.

Good luck.  Looking forward to many amazing pics of your cooks on the PBC.

Well my cooker is "out for delivery"  :P

This is the smoker I've been using for the last few years, it's small but it served it's purpose for the time I had it. Followed by some other cooks I've done...smoked beer can chicken, prime rib and pulled pork :)
