First Time Cooking with Pit Barrel Cooker

[drbbq]

I went with Flank Steaks (mainly because it was what the family wanted tonight!)

Located in Winchester Va (altitude 725 feet), started cooking at around 730 pm air temp was 76

Simple salt and pepper applied to both sides

Followed fzxdoc's lighting instructions on her sticky thread (thank you)

Used my new thermoworks Therm a Q air temp probe to get an idea of PBC temperature (hung probe from rebar at flank steak level) during set up phase and cooking phase

Pulled both steaks at 30 minutes (temp was 141 on my instant read thermometer )

Let rest for 10-15 minutes and cut against the grain

Came out beautiful!







Looking forward to trying chicken and ribs tomorrow (both in fridge now with rub applied and a little baking powder on the chicken hoping to crisp that skin up!)

With chicken I like to run 350-400 and it requires some lid cracking to run temps that hot. Congrats on the cook!

drbbq Isn't cooking on that PBC the most fun you've had in a long time? Let us know how that ribs 'n chicken cook goes tomorrow.

Pics or it didn't happen. Just kidding. Congrats on your new cooker and your inaugural cook out. The PBC is a great cooker that you will grow to love.

Many more great cooks to come. Matter of fact I'll be firing up my PBC in just a few hours for some chicken. Have fun with the new toy!
