Well, I fired up my PBC for the first time last night, and I was not disappointed. The other day I asked for suggestions on a first cook and the answer was almost unanimously chicken, so chicken it was. I split it in half and cooked it according to the instructions in the PBC chicken video, using the All Purpose Rub that came with the cooker. I can say that it was without a doubt the best chicken that I have ever cooked, and I hardly had to do any work! The bird was a little small and I probably should have pulled it a tad sooner as the breasts were a tiny bit dry, but still delicious. But the dark meat...holy cow. The dark meat was insanely good. I looked over at my wife at one point and she was eating a leg with her eyes closed. I took that as a good sign!
I didn't monitor the temps during the cook, but did check them at about an hour into it and the temps were sitting at about 285*.
Daddy duties made it tough to get pics during the prep and cook, but I did manage to get one of the final product just before I covered it for its rest. Took it with my phone, so its not the best picture, but hopefully you get the idea.
I can't wait to cook something else in that thing! So easy, and a lot of fun!
