Just another PBC Brisket

March 27, 2017, 05:22 PM

I've had my PBC for a little over two years now... countless cooks later, I'm still impressed with this little drum smoker. Nothing fancy here... just a spg rub... wrapped it at about 180... done at 200... eight hours in the cooker plus a one hour rest. Pretty tasty stuff... :-)

Started Low-N-Slow BBQ in 2012. Obviously, it's taken hold (in chronological order:
1.) A pair of Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5's
2.) #LilTex, a 22" Expensive Offset Smoker (looks like a Yoder Witicha)
3.) #WhoDat1, a HUGE Gravity Fed Insulated Cabinet Smoker (cooking chamber 3'x2'x6')
4.) A Full Size Commercial Dryer/converted to Vertical Smoker.
5.) Jambo Backyard stickburner (my FAVORITE Pit so far)
6.) GrillMeister, a huge 24"x48" Adjustable, Charcoal Grill from Pitmaker.com
7.) 22" Weber Kettle with Slow-N-Sear
8.) Vault insulated reverse-flow cabinet smoker from Pitmaker
9.) BarbecueFiretruck...under development
10.) 26 foot BBQ Vending Trailer equipped with HUGE Myron Mixon 72xc smoker is HERE, Oct 2016!
11.) Opened www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com Food Trailer officially in March 2017
12.) Austin Smoke Works 500 Gallon Propane Tank Offset Smoker, named "Lucille" as travel pit for PaulsRibShack, Oct 2018.
12.) Opening Brick & Mortar location at 4800 Nelson Rd, Spring 2019. Had a pair of 1,000 Gallon Austin Smoke Works pits, both in RibShackRed for our new place!

Fabulous Backlit Thermapens, several Maverick Remote Thermometers (don't use any remotes anymore), Thermoworks Smoke, Other Thermoworks toys, Vacuum sealer, lots and lots of equipment...

I'm loving using BBQ to make friends and build connections.
I have #theRibList where I keep a list of new and old friends and whenever I'm cooking, I make 1 to 20 extra and share the joy.

I agree... my only regret is that I didn't buy a PBC earlier. It was on my radar a year before I bought one...

Hondo I've only done 3 cooks in mine. ! turned out really well lol. Select Brisket was on sale last weekend for a buck 50 a pound. So I got a cheap 10 pound brisket to try in the PBC. My question was so far I've been able to get about 6 to 7 hours out of the original charcoal. you said it took 9 hours on your latest cook. Was that the original charcoal or did you start a new set? (my next question would be if you did start a new, how?) Great looking Cook that bark is wonderful!! I'm hoping that mine comes out half as good as your!!
