This thread has been really informative for PBC cooking tips. Thank you so much for all the posts and pics, particularly the damper settings. I cannot WAIT for mine to arrive! All the food looks incredible also. You ever order the second cooker?

Thank you for the visit Mr Michael. I ended up getting a WSM 22.5 for Father's Day. But the PBC is my go to outdoor cooker.
I can tell you that I haven't cooked chicken/ wings indoors ever since I brought the PBC home.

Jerk PBCed chicken.
You'll never catch me without Penzey's spices pork and chicken jerk seasoning. Mix it up with lime juice and peanut oil. Marinate bird for about 4 hours.
Get the PBC to 325, yes I monitor my temp, toss in a chunk of pecan wood.

An hour later.......

Let's open the weekend with a quick PBC cook.
Jerk wings using RO lump.
PBCed at 350 for about 35 then cranked to 400 to finish off.

Chicken all looks great. I'm going to have to get some of that jerk seasoning.
