Cooking on a drum dolly?

[TheAmazingJohnJ]

Maybe a dumb question, but no shame in my game. I was given a PBC late last year and plan to try it out for the first time this weekend. I did buy a drum dolly to move it around more easily. My question is: Can I cook on it while it sits on the dolly? Or will the bottom get too hot and melt the wheels?

This is what I bought: VEVOR 55 Gallon Heavy Duty Drum Dolly, 1000lbs Load Capacity, Barrel Dolly Cart Drum Caddy, Non Tipping Hand Truck Capacity Dollies with Steel Frame 4 Swivel Casters Wheel, for Warehouse Drum Handling: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

My PBC rests on a dolly, pretty well since I’ve owed it, done many a cook on it. No issues with wheels getting too hot. I think you’re good to go and enjoy, it’s a consistent cooker

Thank you! Appreciate the response.

I’m sure you’re fine. My thinking goes like this: The barrel is too hot to touch when it’s fired up, but I barely feel any heat if I hold my hand a couple inches away from it. What will your first cook be?

[TheAmazingJohnJ]

I'll probably do either a pork butt or a ham. Something cheap and forgiving while I get used to it.

You will be fine. Mine has been on its dolly for nearly seven years now and no problems.

Mine is also on a dolly like that. No problem
