Started at 2:50 p.m. and lit the coals
Here they are hooked and rubbed down with Pork Barrel Cooker (PBC) meat and game pit rub
3:10 p.m. hung em in the PBC
About 10 minutes in you cant believe the wonderful aroma that this smoke has!!
40 minutes later it is 3:50 p.m. and off the PBC..checked the internal and they are 135 degrees!!
Wrapped in foil for 10 minutes and then time to slice em up!!
My Impressions:
As you all know I have had a bunch of cookers. Some better than others. This PBC worked exactly as promised. You light the coals and wait 20 minutes. Hang the meat, put on the lid, and walk away.
No looking at temps, no adjusting anything...just sit back and relax.
My neighbor Pam from across the street who is a big time smoker was over and she was given some slices of the meat to snack on and she has probably ordered her PBC by now after having a taste of the meat......ah the meat.........
ABSOLUTELY HANDS DOWN THE BEST DARN JUICY AND MOIST AND TASTY TRI=TIP I HAVE EVER COOKED IN MY LIFE!!The PBC meat and galic pit rub is outstanding. The meat was evenly cooked and there was not one scorched or burn mark anywhere. I left extra fat on to test the pit out and there was no flame ups at all. The flavor was that wonderful old time pit flavor from the ghost fog created by the drippings splattering on the hot coals below. I haven't had tasted this flavor in the last 3 years since I sold my BDS.
Here is the kicker....no wood!!!!! Just the flavor from the Kingsford and the Pit rub and the ghost fog was more than enough. After I put this pit thru its paces with all the different types of meat I might add a little wood but believe it or not it is not necessary.
I am absolutely blown away by the results of this cooker. If this was strictly a tri=tip cooker I would say to buy one immediately!! You can if you want to but you can wait cause I got more cooks coming up!!
Now you might think this might be new pit euphoria from a new cooker but lets put it this way:
All the meat is gone and I am on my way back to the market to grab another tri=tip....everyone wants more and I still got about 6 hours of life left out of the coals!!!! I am gonna grab some chickens and with the efficiency of this cooker I am gonna do em tomorrow right after work!! Gonna use the PB all-purpose pit rub!!
All in All I am absolutely blown away by this cooker. It worked today just like Noah promised me. I was freaking out a bit without any thermometer but the end results are just incredible!!!!
If you will excuse me now I gotta run to the store and put another tri=tip on!!!!! The flavor is just that good and I gotta have more.............riight now....I am even gonna miss the start of Hee Haw on TV!!!!!!!
