    PBC MCS Trouble

    So I was in my local Ace hardware store this afternoon when what did I see. A brand spanking new PBC whispering "yo, dude, I belong in the back of your truck". This is not good. As long as I had to order one, I was able to hold onto my self control. Now they are a few miles from me. I left without it, but I can still hear it calling me. I need help, I can hear the chant: pbc, pbc...

    I think that may be HawkerXP that you're hearing.

    Get that PBC. You know you want to. MCS be darned. Full speed ahead.

      Thing is, with all your instructions I would be cooking on it day one. What would my other cookers that I had to learn say? Curse you Ace hardware!!!

      Allow me to be the voice of reason here. What you don't need is two PBCs. One PBC is a perfectly logical purchase to make. Make sense? Now you can explain this to your wife, and you can sleep well at night with this new perspective. You're welcome!

        Plus, if you don't have two PBCs you can look at that OK Joe drum with a great deal of curiosity...

      This is exactly why I try to avoid these stores, each of which have over 150 cookers assembled and on display. I like cookers, and I suffer from MCS but I like being married a little bit better. :-)

        Argoboy much bigger. I used to live in Burlington so I'm familiar with BBQ Galore.

        But ace is just a hardware store. It used to be a safe place.

      The easiest way to stop the callin' is to bring it home and make it happy.

        Ignoring the voices in one's head can never end well. Don't think about it as a new cooker, think about it as ensuring your continued mental health. :-)

      Sit on your hands. Give your keys to your much better half. Hum and chant "This too will pass" good luck and just don't go to the store right now and right now, and right now, etc.

      You should probably just wait on the PBC Jr's to get back in stock. PBC, PBC, PBC

        I love my PBJr., but if I had it to do over I'd just spend the extra $60 on the big guy and skip the ash pan to start.

        mnavarre. Do you like the Jr. for small cooks? I'm wanting one to complete the collection, sometimes it's just me and one kid or just me and the wife.

        It's usually just me & the wife, so capacity isn't an issue, but when you want to use the grate things get tight quickly. With the hinged gate you can get two racks of spares hung and it's tight, a whole chicken might not fit. Want to finish a wrapped packer brisket on the grate? Ain't gonna happen.

        As far as saving charcoal, it takes about half a chimney less than the big one, so it's not that much of a savings.

      So klflowers I just read that your Wife joined The Club. IMO She deserves Her own New Cooker. Problem solved!

        Skip is a wise man. Wrap that thing up with a nice bow and try to shed a tear when you give it to her. Details matter.

        Look at the new ok joe barrel. Try to decide between the two. That should keep you occupied for a while.
