Title: I have sold my first PBC!
Post by: RG on June 06, 2016, 06:04:29 PM
No...I didn't sell MY PBC, I had someone ask me about a smoker being that I have so many different types. He was either going to buy a Pellet Grill or an entry level Kamado (Akorn). I went over the merits and ease of use for each then the idea struck me to suggest the PBC, so......that's what I did. I pointed him to the PBC website, let him watch some videos and make his choice based on that. Well, he messaged me back saying that he had made his choice and it was the PBC!

I've been responsible for a handful of sales of my brand of Kamado and Pellet Pooper but this was my first PBC. I feel glad to have brought the joy of BBQ to someone and feel honored they value my judgement enough to even ask for a recommendation to begin with!

Once he gets it and starts using it, I am going to invite him here so he can learn from you guys ;)

I have also reinforced the buying decision of someone that is already here, he was going to get it no matter what I said though, lol. I am glad he pulled the trigger!

They are pretty easy to sell after someone eats some food that has been cooked on one. I love hearing someone say "there is no way all that food was cooked on that little drum and it taste like real bbq".  ;D

It is always a good feeling to point someone in the right direction  :)

Nice work Jason!  I have two co workers who love my cook pictures  and stories on the ease of the PBC....one of them is looking to get one for her hubby as Father's Day/Wedding Anniversary gift. Another co worker was on fence between PBC and a WSM. I own both now... but leading him towards the PBC...just love the ease of this cooker!

It's not my favorite cooker (I don't mean that to sound as bad as it does) but it has it's merits. For someone new starting out and wondering what to get at a good price, I had no hesitation in steering him toward the PBC and I think he'll be happy with it!

And..that is a valid point because this the market that the PBC is SOOOO appealing for! It is a much of a "set-and forget" charcoal cooker as exists. And - ZERO assembly. Great bang for the buck.

For those that like to fiddle with their cookers, and are more gadget oriented folks ( o.k. - I am self-identifying here... :D ) there are many other cookers that are fun too. But, I am willing to bet - the PBC offers a higher percentage of "1st timer success" than anything out there. It's just that easy to use.

RG I think you are right about being a good first cooker. I wish they had them when I started. By the way what is your favorite cooker ?

I don't want to say in PBC's forum, lol. I'll pm you instead  ;)
