Just ordered today - woo hoo
« Reply #-1 on: September 03, 2013, 12:33:02 PM »
This weekend can't get here fast enough. What do people use to protect their PBC from the elements?

I'm looking at a tarp temporarily but was wondering what others are doing.

This is the one I use - it is a tight fit, but works well.

My PBC lives on the deck in Minnesota - year 'round.

Mine sits under a roofed cookshack most of the time so I've never covered it with anything.  Should I ever need to, I think a 36 gallon trashbag would do the trick nicely, if not exactly with a lot of class  ;)

Just keep the lid on, covered and make sure not to leave the ash at the bottom!

Congrats and you are gonna love it ;)

I am fortunate to be able to store mine in my garage.  Good advice about keeping the ashes out of the bottom of your PBC after they have cooled down.  You don't want to rust the bottom out of your new toy.

Jabby- Let us know if you need anything by calling us at the number on your PBC, thank you for the business! The WSM 22.5" cover will do the job. We are currently working on a custom PBC cover that should be out by the end of the year first of next year. DO NOT wait on ours as it's important to cover it :) We will let everyone know when it is done.
Thank you again, PBC Co. - Amber

I'll have to see how big this puppy is but that might be the way I go. It'll give me an excuse to clean  it out!

Edit : by "it" I meant the garage!

Line the bottom of the PBC with heavy duty foil and you never have a dirty barrel bottom, or sides from dumping out the ash.........super easy clean-up
