    I promised a neighbor at our new place some food cooked on my PBC. She's seen us unboxing like crazy today and just delivered this. Self control may be an issue tonight.

      I just see a big empty glass of milk and an empty plate. I've been on a fast for the last three weeks. No sweets, no fast food, no junk food, etc.....I have a box of french macarons in the freezer calling my name.

      Jerod, where are you getting the French macarons? Wifey and I stayed around the corner from a Laduree shop in Paris this spring and ate some for the first time - heavenly with champagne!

    I'm still waiting for coals and wood to get ready on my grill for burgers. This photo is not helping one bit!!!! Tell your neighbor that I have a PCB on order - Technically you would be telling the fib, not me.

        My cookers and gear are all unboxed and the XL BGE is assembled. All are at least 2' from the vinyl fence. The dome thermometer's glass covering in the BGE was cracked, otherwise no damage to all of our household stuff in a 430 mile trip in the moving truck.

        Today's cook will be baby back ribs in the PBC and I'll post photos tonight. The store I went to had no whole chickens so ribs only today.

          I've got lots of room. I previously removed all grass and added the stone. Ground is probably 99% sand.

        I'd say, get the cover & the ash tray. So far, I haven't needed extra hooks (although it can't hurt) or the turkey hangers (although I have them in case I need them). I think spatchcocking or splitting the birds in the PBC is the best way to go...

            Guy that runs the newspaper in town is supposed to give me a bunch of seasoned newspapers. No more free classified paper that everyone trashed at the post office. My lighter fluid is consistent so I can't complain.

            Interesting ... the PBC company has obviously grown. The phone number on the barrel used to be Noah's cell phone. Now it's the Customer Service number ... which, by the way, is totally excellent!

                That's good to know about chunks, Kathryn ( fzxdoc ). I use chips but always make a foil pouch like I do for my gasser for use in the PBC to avoid the white smoke + quick burn problem. I just place it where juices don't drip.

                Chunks for me as well. They don't "burn" so much as carbonize and put out a real purdy clean smoke.

              Ribs at 2.5 hours. Temps (average of vent side and side opposite the vent) are running 261-266. The anticipation builds.

                Have to ask, which method did you use to light the coals? Doc's 10-10-10 or PBC?

                Inquiring minds need to know!

                HawkerXP I used the PBC method of 40 lit poured on top.

                Here's the finished ribs. It's the first time I've ever not used Memphis Dust and the first time to sauce them. I used the Beef and Game Pit Rub and KC Masterpiece original sauce. One rack to a neighbor and one rack for us. They were delicious. Cook time was 3 hours and 15 minutes, plus 30 minutes after saucing them (meat side only), for a total of 3 hours and 45 minutes. I'll do these again. Also, I noticed zero smoke around the lid. Great seal.

                  Agreed, those look delicious! Ribs will have to be my second cook on the PBC.

                  Those ribs look amazing (see what I did there). But seriously, I'm 30 minutes from lunch and all I want to do is eat those specific ribs.

                fzxdoc cleanup was a breeze with the double foil on the bottom. Thanks again!

                  How did that aluminum foil get so perfectly shaped to fit the bottom of the PBC without blocking the intake vent?

                  Jim Burgin I turned the lid upside down and shaped the foil using it as a guide making sure to have no "lip" on the foil near the intake vent. https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...g-temperatures

                  As you will see, the bottom of the lid will get rather sticky so not sure how long that method will work.
