Time to get a smoker...

[Ah Pook]

Ran into a guy that has one of the Pit Barrel Cookers made by the guy out in Strasburg. Raved for long time about it.

A member here has raved about it as well.

Local vet manufactured at half the price of other recommendations.

We are leaning towards buying one.

More info? Website?

The PBC has excellent reviews across the board. For us the ability to set it and forget it is why we went pellet smoker. The wood set ups are nice. However having to maintain it / wood & charcoal wise, for us was not on the table.

I'm a big fan of the PBC. I've been using mine for about a year now, and it's as close to idiot proof as anything can be. Pretty much anything I've put in it has come out amazing, from ribs to wings to prime rib to chuck roast. Especially good for cedar plank salmon, using alder ships for flavor. Ribs are dead simple, rub, hang for a couple of hours, glaze, be a hero.

What kind of cook time do you get per load/batch of charcoal? No need to reload to finish?

A full basket of charcoal will get you 7-8 hrs with the lid closed. With the lid off for grilling it is considerably less.

Ribs are about a 3 to 4 hour cook. Not a true smoker, but amazing results in half the time....
