OK PBC folks...

I'm thinking along the same lines as you. I just find the BGE doesn't have the capacity I'd like. For me though a PBC just doesn't seem feasible. I found out that they will ship to Canada for another $175. With exchange and shipping it will come to $500.

I found a fellow who is selling food grade barrels for $35. I called him up and picked out 2 with minimal dents. I haven't decided if I'm going to proceed on making a UDS or not. They might just turn into rain barrels I would prefer to buy a 30 gallon barrel and make a smoker similar to a PBC but I can't find a used one. New 30 gallon barrels unlined are about $90 but again the shipping is $125.

I think the PBC is the way to go .. I like the way it works. I'm not sure though if you can choke the coal to put it out like I can with the BGE and kettles.

I just received my PBC today from Amazon after a 13 day wait.

The shipping was free...

I have been looking at PBC for two years :0) Seeing the bottom of my old Big Drum Smoker was starting to rust out, well I knew it was time to order

Has anyone seen this barrel before? http://www.d-meatbarrel.com/

I'm an avowed PBC guy, but I came across this one the other day while surfing...
