Bryan,
Welcome from a PBC owner in North Carolina.
Art
Hello Art, thanks for reaching out. Im new to this forum but wanted to know if there was a specific forum for those who own the PBC?
There are at least 6 ways I can think of to "ramp up" everything in the known universe about the PBC!
First - look down the index page for the Forum Sponsors Section. Then scroll down tot he Pit Barrel Cooker section. LOTS of great cooks in there.
As well - look in the Charcoal Section on the Index page - and you will find some PBC cooks in there as well. And - even if they are not specific to the PBC - there are a lot of things that apply to the PBC as well as other cookers to be learned in that section.
And - thirdly - You can type the search term PBC or Pit Barrel Cooker in the red search bar at the upper right of any page - to search for anytime the PBC has been mentioned in a post.
Post your questions in the PBC forum section. We will get you answers ASAP!
Next, don't forget to look up videos that Noah and Amber may already have posted on Facebook - pertaining to cooking with the PBC. Very good instructionals!
Lastly - don't be shy - or feel embarrassed to ask ANYTHING about how to get the most out of your cooking on your PBC. That is what we all here for. TO learn form one another and share what we learn with anyone seeking to learn too!
I will make you a promise - that no one will make you feel uncomfortable for asking even the simplest questions. We all have to start somewhere, and that is usually at the beginning. Learn the basics. Then once you are confident, experiment a little with each cook.
And - most of all...have fun!
