Panhead John but the actual cost would be much higher once I factor in the cost of the divorce & alimony :‑D

JCBBQ The Bronco comes with (PBC does not) wheels, lid gasket, hinged lid, side shelves, a more adjustable intake and exhaust, ability to grill by flipping the diffuser plate.....all I can think of..
I currently have a Mini PBC or whatever that little dude is called.Comment

I just told my son and son in law about this sale. Both of them have been SAYING they want a smoker for a few years now, and this is a good deal unless they are holding out for a pellet cooker or something.Comment

And in case it makes a difference to anyone, Target is offering the same deal............step up and push your chips in the middle....................

Dang! I just bought one a month ago for the $449 price. Thats always my luck. But it's OK because I really like this cooker, holds rock steady and is built like a tank.Comment

I bought one during the same sale mentioned by Jfrosty27 . I did assemble it on a semi warm day last month, but winter returned and haven’t done the burn in yet. Looking forward to it!Comment

They certainly aren't going to get any cheaper than this price. I remember looking long and hard at the OJB a few years ago, but it had just hit the market and the PBC was established. (Back then, at my level of experience, I needed the countless videos of how to do stuff on a cooker I owned.)
If all I had was the PBC today? I would buy this. It is clear that my PBC will not last forever. But, I have my Weber Kettle and my Chimp and my PBC has a little bit of rust where the coating has flaked away, but not enough to justify $300 on a new smoker.
If you're new to smoking (and grilling!) and want something that can grow with you as your experience increases (as long as you don't need to feed a lot of people), this quite possibly is the rig, especially at this price.Comment

It sure is fun to watch when somebody pokes a stick into the FGC hive.

Panhead John I don't have the mental capacity to keep all the acronyms straight, so I roll all the barrel cookers into one. Flaming Garbage Cans.

As I noted above, I acquired a used OKJ Longhorn from a friend (will pick up Saturday). Nothing special but a much, much smaller offset than my big trailer so I can now do a single brisket without burning a ton of wood.
Yesterday I also had to buy a new riding lawn mower so there went a lot of money. I held off on buying the Bronco but thought about it all day and last night. I decided that if they were still $270 this morning that I would go ahead and pull the trigger - really, it is too good of a price to pass up.
So, I got up this morning, checked out Target.com, and saw that they are still $270 so I went ahead and bought one. I think that I now have all of the cookers I've been wanting to buy for the past several years, except for a flat top.Comment

Done Deal! I get a Target gift card every Christmas at my job and have been saving them for several years and had enough to cover it. Had planned on a vacuum packer, but they stopped carrying the one I wanted. So, now I own a barrel smoker. Thanks for the heads up, Uncle Bob!Comment

Potkettleblack Sorry about the omission bro, hell, you were one of the first OJB owners here if I’m not mistaken. -
I think of myself as second generation. You and Bob were the first gen IIRC. -
I'm pretty sure FishTalesNC was the first Bronco owner on here, though it looks like he hasn't logged in since January
