PBC VS. The Bronco - The Ultimate Smackdown!

[Panhead John]

There’s been a lot of good natured banter lately about which is the better cooker, the long established Pit Barrel Cooker, or the newcomer, the Oklahoma Joe Bronco. There’s only one way to settle this hotly contested debate….we need to have a cook off! My arch rival Greygoose just thinks his ribs are better than mine! We all know that my cooking results in many less ER visits than his.

It’s time the gloves come off! Here’s what I’m thinking, in 2 weeks let’s have a weekend group cook between the rival barrel cookers, Friday July 29 - Sunday July 31. I’m thinking that anything goes, whatever you want to cook, creativity is welcomed. Brisket, ribs, pork butts, Chuck roasts, whatever. Whether you wanna hang your meat or use the grates, don’t matter. Appetizers and side dishes, whatever. This can be a lot of fun!

Anyway, I’d like to see what y’all think about this and if anyone’s interested. I’d really like to see some of our more established and long term PBC users out there participate also. I have no doubt my Bronco buddies will show up. What do y’all think? Any interest?

[RickyBobby]

Hmmmmm…… what should I go with…… maybe salmon? The staples are always good, but I think I should do something to flex the Bronco muscles.

[Livermoron]

...I could be talked into something like that...

[MsTwiggy]

Me too!! I'll cook some fatty pork, either ribs or pork butt. FWIW I don't think PJ could ever convince himself the PBC is better than the OJB - even if it is 😆😂😛

[Panhead John]

There’s no way you dastardly PBC owners can ever outcook us! HaHaHaHaHa

[bbqLuv]

Panhead John I noticed you left out the Traeger. The sure sign of defeat.
I am sorry, but from NW Oregon to Texas is too far to give you the BBQ beat down. On second thought will there be PBR? Are you willing to pick me up at the bus depot?

[Panhead John]

BBQ beat down….with a Traeger? 😂😂😂

[cgrover60]

Did Traeger come out with a barrel cooker? What did I miss?

[Finster]

Game on....

[Panhead John]

Cool beans!

[CaptainMike]

I'm thinking a brisket, 2 pork butts, 3 racks of sante louies, a pastrami, a pork belly and a couple of hot dogs on the offset.

[Panhead John]

Enough with the appetizers, what’s the main course?

[bbqLuv]

Never enough of those appetizers!
Them are BIG Texas size appetizers.

[WayneT]

That will thin the herd!

[Steve R.]

Paging Allon. Order that OKJ already! You can probably get it in time to join in on this.

[Allon]

No not yet. I will certainly be paying very close attention to the event.
But you never know when everything will line up.

[Panhead John]

Any more PBC and Bronco people interested? Wanted to give this a bump.

[hoovarmin]

I'm in, I think. I drink so much these days I may not remember, so please bump the thread often so I can copy and paste something off the internet and take credit for it.

[hoovarmin]

Panhead John if that's the case you are hanging out at some really low-budget websites. And you know I'm just kidding. But seriously, I think there should be a no-rib and no-pork butt rule for this cook. Not that a hunk of brown pork isn't sexy, but it isn't. Unless you are eating it. Let's mix it up.

[Panhead John]

hoovarmin I’m with ya on mixing it up. I know we’ve done a lot of rib cooks lately, maybe we can "suggest" doing something other than ribs, but leave the door open for them if they want to? I did mention in the original post whatever they wanted, including sides and appetizers. And just what the hell is wrong with doing a pork butt, you communist! 😂

[hoovarmin]

Thanks for reigning me in bro, lol

[Greygoose]

PJ,,,,I’m getting the feelin’ ur the head of some kind of a cult,,,,,
U do have that persuasive and almost spell like aura about you !
I have to put some thought into this ,,,,,I’m a simple man,,,I know it shows,,,
In the event that the PBC kicks the ever luvin bejeezuz out of the Orange or what ever color the Bronco comes in that this doesn’t turn into a Jim Jonesin’ type of ending,,,,😂🤣😂👍👍👍

[Greygoose]

Where the Hell is Hawker ,,,,,,?????

[Panhead John]

Yeah, we need HawkerXP in this for sure! fzxdoc too !

[bbqLuv]

Jim Jones that was the wrong turn into a dead end.

[ofelles]

I think with you as the final judge that the contest is over before it even starts! But it should take place anyway. With that many Broncos and PBCs going the entire US population can enjoy the smoke!

[Panhead John]

I really would like a lot of people to participate if they can. Where the hell is 58limited klflowers and Uncle Bob Purc and the rest of my Bronco buddies?

[Alan Brice]

Almost sounding like desperation.

[Greygoose]

Attention all pbc owners,,,,,
please check in !!!!!

[Panhead John]

Good deal Greygoose You can be President of the PBC losers, er, I mean owners! Call your people and I’ll call mine.

[Greygoose]

Yea,,I can hear it now " Hey Bronco Buster,,,It’s PJ,,,,,beep,,,,Please leave a message!!!!!"

[Panhead John]

Most of em won’t even give me their number. 😂

[Panhead John]

Calling all Bronco owners, don’t let those PBC people outnumber us!

[klflowers]

Not sure if I will be in town that weekend, the 30th is my birthday. If I am around though I will participate.

[Greygoose]

KL,,,,don’t worry PJ will probably give you an additional 2 week window to respond with your final example of Bronco capabilities,,,,
Maybe 3 weeks if nobody else responds,,,,
And Happy Birthday !!!!

[HawkerXP]

…, .., …!

[klflowers]

Greygoose thanks. And while I usually distance myself from Panhead John this time he is right. Bronco rules. Unless the PBC queen fzxdoc joins in. Then I will lay down and give up...

[Greygoose]

Yes,,,,,where is Kathryn ?????
I figured Hawker would scare the you know what outta PJ
I know Kathryn will mentally conquer PJ in a few rounds of PBC wisdom,,,

[Allon]

Happy birthday!
