PSA: Dont leave your PBC uncovered unattended

That's what I call a 'sear burner'

Sometimes it just feels good to let it burn out. I have not done it in a while, nor to this extent. LOL

The grease flaking off the sides was the driving cause and then Texas Monthly had a good article about dirty pits a month or two ago. So, with a new decade, why not start with a cleaner slate?!?!

cashelton was the article a hard copy or do you have the ability to share it digitally?

Looks like my backyard about once a month. However, my barrel has Mobil Oil stenciled on the side.🛢

cashelton This makes me want to make sure that my pit is just a smidge further from my new house LOL. I have pulled the rebar to let it all burn off a bit faster, but I have never left the lid off it. That was an impressive fire you had going there.

I'll be repositioning my barrel placement moving forward!

Been there and done that. Really comes into play after smoking pork belly.
