I'd show up for dinner but I happen to be smoking a left-handed choice brisket on Saturday.

I'm very interested in your feedback on the PBC.

Mea culpa.

Dom has every BBQ and BBQ toy known to man. A true BBQ legend.
You too, sir, set the bar high for BBQ, jams, cheeses, and a whole lot more.

I wanted to know what a commoner like me has to say.

Trying my best to tempt Peter.

Fired up the Pit Barrel, yesterday,
Did a pork loin. Have to say it might have been the tastiest thing I've made all summer!
Brined for 24 hours, and cooked over hickory.

That's a great idea. I didn't think of cold smoking them. I've had an AMNTS for a while and I haven't used it yet. I picked it up for cold smoking but haven't had a chance yet. I also have some venison in the freezer I may want to make into some jerky. I've yet to try my hand at it but if I'm going to use the AMNTS for some cold smoking and likely borrow my BIL's dehydrator it would be a waste not to at least try making some jerky. I think I may do some cheese while I'm at it too. My wife has some of that wax for preserving cheese. Looks like I have plan coming together.

I believe Peter posted some well received jerky recipes. I'll have to do some searching and see what I fine. I don't want to add a lot of sugar if I can help it.

That PBC looks like a normal UDS with the hanging hardware added. I wonder if you can just by the rods and hooks and mod an existing UDS. Of course I'd want some kind of plugs for the rod holes in case I still wanted to use the racks.

BTW, that pork loin looks great. Love the pics.

Sure you could. Just add some of those business card magnates to cover up the holes.

Sure you can, here's one of mine with them. PBCs are only 30-gal drums, so you get more capacity with the 55 - I can hang 6-8 whole chickens in there.

You can order the hooks from PitBarrelCooker.com and the rods are just rebar. I used two 30" sections of 5/8". You would also want to make yourself a hook remover, basically an eye bolt set into the end of a wooden rod, I used a section from an old hardwood paint roller pole.

I've always found that those type of magnets fail once they heat up a time or two. Just leave the holes and they are your exhaust if you are still using the grate.

I'd like to sarcastically thank you guys for all the photos. I stayed up till the wee hours of the morning drooling and watching PBC videos!

Now the real thanks, just happens that my gas grill AND my little smoker both rusted out this year so I was looking for something different. I think the PBC may be it.

Ribs two ways on the PBC.
One with my traditional seasonings, and one just salt and pepper, and finished with a sweet chili, lime, Sriracha sauce.
The sauce was a failure. It surprisingly was very bland. As I was adding the ingredients the flavors and aromas were bold, then they just faded behind the heat.
I'm hoping that after a few days in the fridge, the flavors will marry a bit, and shine through.

Nice looking bbq Dom. Sorry to hear about the sauce.

FWIW - I sometimes will whip up a similar finishing sauce as what you described, usually some sort of berry fruit preserve and **** sauce, then reduce it on the stove. With additional lime at the end to thin it back out a bit. If I want more of a sour kick, I'll add some powdered citric acid. It seems to hold up well. I do use sweet chili sauce for some things, typically just as an uncooked dipping sauce though.

Today I will smoke rub eye steaks for an hour and then bring up the heat in the big green egg to about 700* and sear them for 30 seconds on a side. Cigars will be involved.

You're stoked, Wayne. The site and Amazon both say there is a 4-5 week lead time but mine came this past Tuesday and only took 2 weeks.
