The PBC does lend a certain flavor to meat since the drippings become smoke immediately. But, you can add different flavors by adding wood. You could also say that meat tastes fine without dry rub or sauce so why use them?

Kamado Joe Big Joe III, PKGO, Jumbo Joe and PBC. Weber kettle @ the hunting camp.
I use to bury 2 chunks under my coal bed and then dump the lit coals. The past 2 cooks, I didn’t use wood and probably won’t use wood in my PBC again. It does fine without added wood. Those drippings do just find.

I can definitely tell a difference on my PBC as to wood. Not saying I can tell you which wood was used based on taste in all cases, but I can definitely tell if its hickory, mesquite and I believe oak. If using fruit wood such as apple or cherry then its more difficult. Here is Dixie (defined as the deep south, well south east.....go west a few hundred miles it will be mesquite) hickory is the wood of choice almost everywhere in the southeast even in professional BBQ joints. Sometimes I go with something else just for a change. I do tend to go with fruit wood for lighter smoke for fish, but foul, beef and pork....I go with hickory 80% of the time. Just the way I grew up I guess.
