    Yeah, I do not doubt that. I get very good results with the poopers I have too. I just love that magic that happens with the chicken fat hitting that live fire, vaporizing and coating the surface of the chicken on my PBC.

    Enjoy the cook--and all your PBC cooks. They're all a lot of fun.

    I go 375° on my pooper with a smoke tube packed with either hickory or cherry chips. Turns out a darned good chicken.

    Thanks Kathryn

    I plan on cooking a bird either this weekend or next. Depends on what the wife wants.
    Just starting to learn the PBC. Fun times.
    Love learning new cookers. I think it actually helps the mind to stay on top of its game.
    But mine is probably too far gone. 🤦🏼😁

    Yeah, the hanging chicken over charcoal is better than my pellet cooks for sure. IMHO. Super hot.....400 F. willxfmr

    I'm going to have argue that one. My pellet pooper birds are just as good with less work. I do see however why the FGC crowd loves them for yard bird. If you don't have a pellet pooper and a smoke tube, this is a great way to make chicken.

    What I got out of it was that it is more work to get results that are no better than what I can do on the pellet pooper.

    I was going to, but then I realized that in fact, I did feel lucky. It didn't matter to me if the results were good, bad, or ugly.

    I realized I hung it "upside down" when I went to take it off. Rookie mistake.

    Good advice Kathryn.
    How much baking powder do you use?

    This is the best way to cook a bird, IMHO. Great move.

    I have the same setup I use for my WSM 22". Turns out just like PBC chicken. I would never go to all that trouble (and charcoal) for one bird, though.

The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One


The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted


Napoleon’s 22″ Pro Cart Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It’s hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the 22″ Pro Cart a viable alternative.

Although it is not certified as all-weather, we have tested it outdoors in Chicago weather and it has not delaminated in three years, but there is minor fading.

Our Favorite Backyard Smoker

The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.
