At my house we have somewhat settled on a "don't ask / don't tell" strategy...

What I would do Muebe is set it right next to your plastic garbage can and put trash in it for a week and let it get dumped once then show wifey how you expertly turned a garbage can into the ultimate smoker- Tah dah, Winning ;)

Wife was going to the store and I asked her to pick up a couple whole chickens and lighter fluid. She gave a strange look and said "Lighter fluid?!?" I said "Yep... Good for starting the pellets in the tube smoker" ;)

Ok so time to open the box up and get the first cook in. As others have stated the PBC is very well packaged.

Came with the hooks, hook grabber, two bottles of PBC rubs, and instructions. Hooks are heavy duty and appear to be well made...





Heavy duty charcoal basket sized for the cooker and holds a small bag of kingsford(included)...



Welded feet of the charcoal basket...



Here is the barrel stand. It is well made but not large enough IMHO. With the barrel on the stand it did not feel steady. The stand should have a wider stance than the barrel so it does not feel like the barrel could be knocked over. I have mine right on the concrete so no big deal...



The lid is lightweight and fits well onto the barrel. Has a horseshoe handle that feels solid, centered, and welded on...







Inside of the barrel. So pretty! Not for long! Barrel is quality made and the powder coating is really nice on the exterior. Looks like it will hold up to high temps...



And the interior grate for stuff you cannot hang. Seems to be solid and has a nice fit to the barrel...



Now for a couple whole chickens...



Spatched and liberally coated with the PBC All Purpose Pit Rub...



Into the firdge for a 20 minute air dry...



Flame on...



Hook em and cook em...



igrill pit probe in place...



After 20 minutes charcoal is ready and in they go...



igrill on watch...



Should be done shortly ;)

Ok so I was getting rady to pull them because the IT was at 160F and then all the sudden the internal temp started shooting up and alarms on the igrill went off! I run out there and find that both chickens had fallen from their hooks. The meat was so tender where I hooked them they gave way. I quickly retrieved them from the bed of coals :o Although somewhat charred they appear to still be good ;)







Here is the graph of the cook...



I debated leaving the grill in just in case of this happening but decided not to. I suppose I should have hooked them further down into the chicken where it is stronger. This is more of a operator error on my part and overconfidence in the hooks supporting the bird at that point.

PBC seems to hold temps right around 307F once the coals are fully lit. Now it is time to give the chicken a taste ;)

I like the technology you're using with the PBC. That iGrill looks pretty neat. I hope the yard bird came out good!
