    My poor PBC hasn't been getting any love lately. It's just begging me for some ribs. I'm in.

    I'll be cooking that weekend. On Sunday I'm doing smash burgers for a church picnic on the griddle. Which means I'll be at home that weekend, which is where the PBC is, not at the vacation house where the Bronco is. Sorry @Panhead John, looks like I'll be playing for the other team.

      @ Panhead John No worries...I took care of the "Like" for you...

      Awesome! I love it! The ranks of Bronco fanatics is already falling apart with turncoats who are playing for both teams!

      I bet Panhead John is just worried about losing out on his OKJ commission stipend.

      jfmorris, first world problems, I have too many houses, and too many cookers. Or, just the right number of cookers for the number of houses I have.

    Panhead John , Sady, I can't participate that weekend. You might remember me bitching that my summer travel plans for the end of July are to be traveling to Houston for an outdoor wedding, which is that weekend... However, I am doing ribs on Wednesday, so I will post up those results and everyone can think of them as early voting for the OKJ Bronco!

      Yeah, I forgot about that, Wednesday is good. I’ll be starting a new post for all the pics that Friday morning, can’t wait to see em.

    I hear a lot of yapping from the Bronco "winners" about how they're doing this 'n that. I won't divulge what I'll be doing (mainly because I don't really know yet). However, I'm the sort of fancy pants California guy that does stuff like this so...just be warned...

    Livermoron That’s all good an everything, but it’ll be hard to top the kind of get togethers I organize. Here’s a few pics from my last cookout.

    Panhead John Please deliver, shipping included, one each, PBC and OKJ, your choice of model, so that I may participate. I’ll send you a case of PBR in return.

    That is a tough weekend for me but may be able to squeeze something out of the PBC on Friday to put another notch in the PBC belt. Assuming I can get it done, it would have to be a quick(ish) cook - so thinking of maybe my smoked meatballs or pulled chicken.... decisions, decisions...

      Sounds good! Hope to see what you come up with.

    I’ll cook something but have no need to measure cooks against the PBC. I’m sure it’s a fine cooker. It’s not an OJB, doesn’t have the flexibility, but I’m sure the cue is fine.

    Alright, I'm now off that weekend and after giving the OJP a test run on Monday. A few hours of it running empty I put a tray of potatoes and some salmon (excellent!!) Ready to give it a real test. I think I might do a side by side with my WSM so there will be a comparison. Maybe bone in pork loin as that's currently on sale my local grocer.

      Good call. I have always thought the Bronco is more comparable to the WSM than to the PBC. In fact, I sold my 22" WSM when I got the Bronco Pro.

    I am in like PBC!

    Alright! My Bronco is smiling and he wants to join these festivities and my schedule is open. I think I'll do both a hot and fast cook and a low and slow. Something a Bronco can do on it's own.

    I can feel an orange Bronco is just around the corner!
    I'm confident I can order this week depending on wife's health. Everything else is lining up now.

    Thank you everyone for your insights and advise!

    Bronco is the way to go for me.

    Panhead John I won't make it for the weekend (I don't believe). How about a late entry?

      My PBC is easy to load in the back of my Flex if I'm cooking away from home, but the Bronco is very versatile. Both great cookers. If I had to choose one it would probably be the Bronco, as long as I wasn't going to transport it by myself.

      Most important, take care of your wife.

      That's great news Allon. Pray your wife continues to get better. When you get your Bronco, please post anytime you do a cook!

    tbob4 and I had a get together today and I wanted to get in the mood for next weekend’s smackdown with those pesky PBC people. We both invited some of our closest friends over to his place to party. Gotta tell ya, man we had a blast! Here’s a few pics of our hoedown, let the jealousy begin!

      Heck yes I am jealous! Half of those folks were supposed to me at my house again for burgers tonight but begged off saying "Can't come on a account of that vy'rus thingamajig". I will not forget any of this. And yes - that photo is of me displaying my disdain. Luckily nephew Slim took diving lessons prior to attempting that swan.

      I’m more than a little offended that I wasn’t invited…… unless mine just got lost in the mail? Yeah. I’m going with that.
