Just ordered a Pit Barrel
« Reply #-1 on: April 07, 2014, 03:44:00 PM »
Hi all, I'm new here.

I just ordered a Pit Barrel Cooker.  I do quite a bit of indoor cooking (my wife and I have a deal - I do all the cooking, she does all the cleaning).  But my only outdoor cooking to date has been on a propane grill.

I love all forms of BBQ - all styles, all regions.  But I'm especially partial to East Carolina pulled pork, Memphis dry ribs, and Texas brisket.

This is going to be an adventure :)

Nothing wrong with a gasser , but food cooked over charcoal & wood is better ::)

First of all, welcome from NC.  I have a PBC and love it.  My wife insists that if I am cooking wings, they must be on the PBC.  Yes, dear!  You'll love everything you cook on it.

Welcome from South Arkansas. You can learn a LOT on here. I do a lot of grilling, and have learned a lot about smoking the "low and slow" method. Have fun and ENJOY the site  ;)

Welcome from Texas, my wife and I have the same deal and it works out great for us as well as providing job security for me as she has forgotten how to cook after all these years. ;)

Welcome!

I'll have to agree with Art (ACW3) that chicken is the family favorite that comes from my PBC.  But, it'll do a lot of other things well, to.  Enjoy the forum and don't be shy if you need any help getting oriented to your new cooker.
