Well this weekend I decided to spend some quality time with the PBC. I filled the basket heaping with KB and lit her up with the lighter fluid method. I had dry brined 18 chicken tenderloins (all purpose rub), 20 chicken wings (all purpose rub), and 2x2.2lb chuck roasts (beef and game rub & kosher salt) for about 24 hours before hand. I was able to get the tenderloins, wings, and about 75% of the Pepper Stout Beef cooks done with the heaping basket of coals. See for pix below:

Shredding is tiring!

Did you finish the Chuck in the pan with the peppers? I always shred it right in the veggie mixture so that its all Incorporated real nice when I'm done. :)

Great quality time with the PBC.

PBC appears to be earning it's keep!
Great spread of food!

nice cook bro in law wings look really good! did you plug all the holes and save what little coal you had left? looks like you had both rods in for the breast cook and or the wings. what were your temps for the chicken cook in the barrel?

Great job and some nice looking grub!

Yeah, after the chuck hit 165F IT, I pulled it from the rack and set it on top of the veggies until it hit 210-215F IT. Then I pulled the whole bactch, let the meat rest for about 10 minutes and shredded it with the meat claws. Then the shredded meat went back into the veggie mixture in the oven until the sauce reduced.

I didn't plug any holes, but I did make sure that both pieces of rebar were in at all times. With a heaping basket of KB, I was able to get about 6 hours of cooking, which I'm thinking was pretty good for as many times as I had to open up the lid to change foods, vent for crisping the wings, etc (which also inadvertently stoked the fire). The PBC started around 540F and gradually settled down to 290F within about an hour. I did the chicken first because I wanted to cook that quicker at the higher temps.
