Hello from the Chicago ‘Burbs

[STEbbq]

Welcome from the West Chicago burbs! I'm out near Geneva if it helps.

I can't help on the gas question, but I owned a PBC for nearly 5 years. It's an outstanding smoker, and you can easily fit 6-8 racks of ribs if needed on it!

Thanks! Even though we are based outside of Chicago, my wife runs a autism therapy clinic and 2/3 of the her clients are in VA Beach area, so we know it well. Where is there good BBQ down there?

[SirWeezey]

Lol, yes, there will be an oven full of breaded chicken also involved. This is why I need a PBC - so I can hang 8 racks!

Here is some good PBC info https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...-barrel-cooker

I've been told I'm full of gas but no gasser. Now when you get that PBC we can talk! PBC, PBC, PBC!

Be sure to check out the channels section for lots of good info...

Welcome from Maryland. One way to fit them is to circle them like this

Welcome to The Pit. No gasser at my house either... Cuttin' the racks in half might let you place the across the width of your gasser. That way you can leave at least one burner off and cook indirect.
