Great lookin' quarters but I got a couple questions...
... the PBC held a nice 230 degree temp.
Really? I haven't ever measured it but I always thought the temp was in the 300-350° range (based, I guess, on a 16-pound turkey taking about 4½ hours to cook).
Also, I've always been told that you should run the PBC on a "full load" of charcoal which usually burns for 6-7 hours or so here. Being a frugal turtle I hate to waste all that charcoal by lighting it up for a one-hour cook, even if I fill the grill or hooks. Any comments/suggestions?
Yup really turtle. I have drilled a hole in the PBC and added a long thermometer to the front of it. It reaches right to the center of the cooker.
Now with this picture that was taken in the summer with no snow and freezing temps, something turtles know nothing about
I also get the same reading from my i-grill.
My elevation calls for the trap door to be closed as much as possible which gives me those low and slow temps.
As far as using a full basket of coals.....its not needed for small cooks. I filled that one up half way. Remember banker spend that money you can't take it with you.
