    I'm the Victim!

    Yes, I fell victim to a case of extreme MCS...my PK360 will be arriving today or tomorrow to replace my weber kettle. The wife...will be in for a surprise when it arrives.

    I felt I needed to confess my sins here!

    You came to the wrong place to confess sins, I think you made a great decision. You'll love the 360

      Confessing an MCS purchase here is like confessing drinkin' too much to an alcoholic priest...

        The only difference is the priest would likely tell you to stop drinking too much and give you a few Our Fathers...here the drinking is encouraged haha

      You have been absolved.
      Good luck...
      or maybe
      MCS is a victimless crime.

        So I figured somebody needs to recognize that your are getting an awesome new cooker. Congratulations ! Looking forward to seeing what you turn out on it.

          I’m still in shock but I’ll get over it now that we have that clarified.

          My 360 is probably my favorite cooker. I got it in addition to my kettle only because I wanted to have the extra cooking space if needed but it’s a fantastic rig. You made a great choice!

                PK360 is not very portable. Weber kettle easier to move around. But a few of my reasons:
                1) Durability - Marine grade aluminum, I will be passing it down to my children. I'm on my 3rd weber due to corrosion.
                2) It seals very well. Weber leaks around the edges.
                3) Built in SnS.
                4) Great vent controls.
                5) Seems to me the sweet spot is 350 d. Easy to achieve and easy to bring back up to temp.
                6) Temp gauge is at grate level, not near the top of the lid.

                I like the dual zone cooking abilities for one. Also a bit more aesthetically pleasing to the eye and it's going to sit up on my deck visible from the entryway when you walk into the house. It's mostly going to by my winter/rain cooker.

              Congrats on the PK360. It's a great grilling piece of equip and small smoker. For grilling and roasting I probably use my PK360 80% and my weber w/ vortex 20%. Love my PK.
