I stumbled across the PBC while looking around at Ugly Drum Smokers. I was actually led to this site in that search (and joined obviously, duh!). I read the unfortunate goings on about PBC and their story intrigued me and I always root for the little guy so I ordered me one with an ash pan. I hope that they thrive and the matter is put to rest swiftly (trying not to say TOO much here, I am sure y'all know what I'm talking about). I also want to support a man that was brave enough to put his life on the line and serve in the military and go overseas to fight for my freedom and right to grill dead animals. 'MURICA!!!! He is a Hero and he needs for me to pay him back anyway that I can. If ordering his cooker helps, then how can I resist?
Anyhoo.....the main reason I got it was for chicken! It has been my nemesis for some time. I can make butts, ribs, brisket, pretty much everything BBQ related as good as anyone but SKIN ON chicken mocks me. It points it's funky little chicken foot fingers at me a laughs. I've had enough! From what I can tell, the PBC makes crispy skin chicken. I am hoping for some validation to this as if I serve another rubber skin chicken to Mrs. RG she's gonna slap me! She LOVES crispy skin so any tips/advice you care to offer will be welcomed!
