    PBC Too Smokey?

    I've got a huge brisket and two racks of ribs in the PBC right now, and it's been churning out a steady stream of smoke the whole time. I read this thread and felt a little better, but I have a video below of how my cook's going. Is this normal?

    When a barrel of full packers hits the stall, the white and supremely thick smoke is pouring out like fire ants from a nest you just started stomping on.

    What you have right there just Child's Play.

      What Jerod said.

      Looks fine to me. Lid leaks going on which means your PBC may be running hot, depending on how far into the cook you are. For my PBC, lid leaks are only a concern in the first hour or two of the cook. Place something heavy onto that lid, but don't scratch the finish.

      I bet you've got some good eating in your very near future.

                Thanks for all the responses, folks. You were right: I had nothing to worry about. Sorry the pic's blurry, had one too many by the time I pulled it...

                  I heart a pretty smoke ring.

                  The two key ingredients of BBQ: a great smoke ring and one-too-many by the time the cook is complete. Bravo!

                Another thing I've noticed, especially when the PBC is loaded up with meat, is that I often was mistaking steam for smoke. It can get a bit moist in there.

                  That's a good point, and this was a huge 18lb brisket, so that's probably exactly it

                  That's exactly what happens when the stall rolls in when I'm cooking large briskets or a lot of meat in my PBC. All that moisture has to go somewhere.
