Thanks for tuning into the show! Now, the Pit Barrel Cooker, aka the PBC, how much do I love this thing?? Too much!!! Damn this 18.5 barrel of fun is a cooking machine. I own 2 Pit Barrel Cookers, and honestly, if they made a larger one, like a 22.5 or bigger, I would buy 3 more. Nuff said. Trust me, YOU WANT ONE!!

Great video!!! Thank you for this!
great straightforward video. good stuff man! Wondering if you've played with this with both the lump charcoal and briquettes. Wondering how it cooks on both options.
i subbed a week ago , and i love your style of making videos, no-nonsense approach to BBQ. that said keep them coming -Peace
Those are very kind words, thank you so much! Make sure to like the vids ya watch, it helps people who search! Cheers!!
Thanks Bro
Awesome thanks. I looked at a pit barrel in Christchurch NZ. It's pretty pricey, $1250 kiwi dollars. I was wanting to know how it works. Your video is excellent quality. Clinton
Been using my Pit Barrel Cooker for 5 years now, but just bought the Gateway drum. I haven't even seasoned it yet, but taking care of that this weekend. I really like your video style! Always captivating!
Brotha! Thanks a ton, and keep me posted on that Gateway!! Want!
Got one for Christmas. Cant wait to get started

I seen that pit barrel the other day at ace Hardware, looks pretty cool!
It's worth the fun, experimenting, and good times. And the food is stunning!
Craig, Thanks for this, I got my PBC 4 cooks ago. Having a good time. 2 things , I catch the burned up ash on a large sheet of aluminum foil, after all is cooled, I just get the 4 corners into the center and lift and dispose of it.. Second, I understand that the PBC testing was all done around Kingsford charcoal. I can get Kingsford briquettes 16 lb bag for about $15.00 B7B is it about same on price? What advantage are the B&B coals, Thanks..
Thanks for watching and subscribing!! B&B simply has an amazing selection that you can find by searching B&B on ACEhardware.com . I've tested and tried them all. B&B has many choices for different cooks, just depending on what your cooking and how hot you want to cook. I suggest ordering some and giving it a try. go to bbcharcoal.com and see where you can also buy at a place that stocks it! Thanks!!! Click the like if ya liked it!
Good video.
Hi. Can i cook with only wood?
Thanks.
Gotta love companies selling incomplete "Kits" these days
I know this is primarily a smoker but can you bbq on it too and sear some steaks on it?
You don't have to mess around with it so nuch ie: foil. It works just fine out of the box
Hi , I’m from Italy, can I ask you how high is the coarc basket and what diameter does the air inlet hole have? thanks
Basket sits on bottom. The hole is about the size of a can of beer. Thanks for watching, and please subscribe!! Viva!!
BBQ iT the diameter of basket is 14 inches but how high is it? 4 inches or more? Thank you, I love your videos. Here is too difficult to find Pit barrel and a want try to build a similar one
Where. Can I buy this barrel
Instead of stuffing foil in the holes use those flat flexible sheet magnets that come on phone books and various junk mail just cut them to fit and when you don't need to use them slide them to the side and carry on
Great idea!!!
Yea i found some round magnets at lowes work perfect
Hi, Does it make sense to get a PBC when I have a Kamado Big Joe and a Traeger Timberline 1300 pellet grill?. Could PBC be better than those?. Thanks
If you have a Kamado Big Joe, you've got all you need. The main difference you'll notice between the KJ and the PBC is that the bark will set sooner in a PBC than the KJ. The reason is due to the heat signatures between the two cookers. The PBC is high convection/low radiant heat, the KJ is high radiant heat/low convection. I think the flavor profiles are so close, you won't notice the difference that much.
Can I just put a layer of tin foil instead of buying the ash basket?
Nice video
Thanks brotha! Sub if you can!!
BBQ iT I already have, the reason I watched ... your turn to get me back
Never seen a horseshoe that wasn't bent
Ha!!! Cheers and thanks for subscribing and ring da bell! Make sure to like the vids ya watch, it helps people who search!
Great video! New sub.
Why doesn’t it have a thermometer?
You don't really need one. PBC runs reliably in the 250-300 degree range, as long as you sent the vent as per the directions.
Pit barrel will be going up in price to 350$ soon,.. take care..
What?? Really? Damn! Thanks for SUBSCRIBING!! RANG DAT BELL!
I seen it at Ace Hardware, $399
@@BBQiT I am on there subscriber list and that`s the message they sent about the price increase to $350.00
You can make one for less than a hundred dollars
When the vid first started, I thought you were making meth in a barrel. Just kidding. Hey where’s your collection of kettle grills?!? DON’T TELL ME YOU GOT RID OF YOUR KETTLES!!
Ha! Hell no, I have a ton of em! Like 30 in my yard. I'm just loving cooking on these things. One more PBC coming, then I'll be back on some hot Weber action!
@@BBQiT Yeah I figured the camera was just pointed in a different direction than normal. Once you get really famous, you could sign some of them and auction them off for charity or something.
