Okay, I guess since I posted this one, I should be the first to take the leap. I will let you all know what I think. I am looking forward to giving these try. Any ideas for a first cook?

No matter what you choose for the first cook on these babies looks like you'll be able to wash it down with a frosty beverage in those new mugs! -

I need to use my PBC more often. Had it over a year and only fire it up 3 times.Last edited by DWCowles; October 12, 2017, 12:10 PM.Comment

I'm trying to think what I would use them for. As previously mentioned, I see two clear winners:- baked potatoes
- more secure pork butt
I can't see using them for anything I already double serial hook like brisket, chuck roasts, tri tip. Not applicable for whole/spatchcocked/split chicken, although boneless skinless chicken pieces might work well. I wonder about wings. I don't eat wings because there's not enough bang for the buck, but lots of our friends love 'em.You'd have to have a spacer (edible or not) between them.
I can't see using them for meat kebobs alone (as Nate says, there are more fuel-efficient ways of making those), but it would be nice to add some veggie kebobs toward the end of a cook, or alongside something I'll be reverse-searing, like a tri-tip, or for ribs. Easy peasy way to cook that particular side.
Picanha ( johnec00 ) sounds great. But where to get that cut of beef in the US?
Can you all tell I'm working on a justification for forking out around $45 for these gizmos? The beer mugs were easy. These take a little more rationalizing, but I'm sure I'll get there.
Thanks, Spinaker , for fueling the MCS once again.

The skewers arrived today. They are not as heavy duty as I would have hoped but how heavy do they really need to be? Only time will tell, I guess. I do think I will be able to get whole pork shoulder on the 15" skewers, so that will be a fun experiment. I am also looking forward to doing some medallions as well. I will keep y'all posted.
Thanks!
I also got a new PBC mug!

Still neat for kabobs. I never had a hankering to put a butt on a skewer.

Oh, I thought they were round skewers. Now that I look at the OP and Spinaker 's post from a couple of days ago more closely, I can see that they are indeed crimped flat strips.
Well, if they're made half as well as the PBC is, they'll still last a lifetime.

A question for anyone who's purchased these skewers. I've been doing some research - what would you think about hanging a tri tip or a butt? Would the meat be hanging too low?? oh, i see the question has been asked.Comment
