Title: Chicken & Ribs Pit Barrel Cooker style
Post by: Kora Smoker on October 21, 2012, 09:16:58 PM
Received my Pit Barrel Cooker last Friday and got to try it out today. Decided on spare ribs and chicken and everything came out delicious. Empty plates galore with a ton of ribs bones is a great sign that the family loved it.

Let me just say that the PBC is not a UDS and the food doesn't taste like it either. The quality is excellent and although it is small a lot can fit. I would recommend the PBC to anyone, it's just crazy simple..

Thanks to Smoke for turning me on to the PBC

Hi Sparky, I loved how the ribs and chicken came out on the PBC. The ribs came out fall of the bone and the chicken moist and tender. As a BDS owner I thought the PBC would be just that, but it isn't. The food doesn't come out too smokey. The drum is small but don't let the size fool you; whole bunch of stuff fits in there. Don't think I'll be using the bds anymore. I would recommend to all.

Nice cook my brotha!! Glad you liked the PBC, coming from the BDS it is a whole different way of cooking!!

Yesterday for the first time since I have started using the PBC, I hung the turkey and put the lid and walked away without even worrying about the cook!!

This is truly a light it and forget it charcoal cooker!!

Wait until you hang tri-tips or some thick rib-eyes!!
