Hi folks,
A couple of quick questions for ya.
Q1: We had a week of heavy rains a couple of weeks ago. Although my PBC was well covered, I came back about a week later to find half an inch of water in the base of the PBC. I'm guessing it may have seeped in through the air intake. I hadn't cleaned out my PBC from the last cook, (shame on me), and now had a nice soup of water and ash to deal with. I poured it all out and now have a mess in the bottom and along one of the sides of the PBC. I'd love to just rinse it out but I've read that the PBC should never be washed. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Can I rinse it out and let it air dry?
Q2: I also have a roll of BBQ gasket left over from when I used it on my WSM. Do you find any benefits to installing the gasket on the PBC lid? Or should I just leave it alone. I didn't see any posts about using a gasket to tweak the PBC but I figured I would ask the experts.
Any thoughts would be great. Cheers!
