  • Superb BBQ Smoker!
Size: Classic
I wanted to buy a smoker to compliment my regular grill, but didn't want to spend a fortune. I read a review on a very popular bbq web site (search for Meathead Goldwyn) about the effective job the Pit Barrel Cooker does and was impressed by the ease of use (as in no tinkering with the temperature, etc.), as illustrated by the company's several excellent instructional online videos. After reading the excellent reviews on Amazon, and watching online videos/reviews, I took a "leap of faith" and ordered the PBC. At the time, the cost, INCLUDING SHIPPING, was $269. The company has since raised the price to $289 (again, includes shipping), which is, in my humble opinion, still a bargain. How does it perform? Admirably! Its simple, but sturdy, construction belies the effectiveness of the results it produces. I've since bbq'd chicken, ribs, etc., and my friends and family have raved about the smokey, juicy taste of the meat. I'd be proud to present my smoked meats to any fan of bbq! The PPC uses charcoal,only, and operation is extremely simple (But, watch the company's videos and follow its instructions carefully.): Prepare your meat (rub, marinade, etc.), light your charcoal (I use a Weber chimney charcoal starter; charcoal ready in about 20 minutes.), pour the lighted charcoal into the charcoal basket in the bottom of the barrel (Use bbq gloves that cover the forearm.), hang the meat on the two rods at the top of the barrel using the provided stainless steel hooks (eight hooks are included), close the lid, and . . . wait! The company videos carefully explain how to position the hooks for different kinds of meat (pork butt, whole chickens, ribs, etc.) and the approximate time for them to cook. Important: Trust the videos! Don't peek while the meat is smoking! ("If yer peekin', yer not cookin'!). After the suggested cook time, check your meat (using an instant-read thermometer, or, with ribs, poke the meat to gauge desired tenderness). For my first cook-off, I hung four whole chickens (each cut in half) on the eight hooks. Before hanging the chicken on the hooks, I added several chunks of apple wood to the lit charcoal. . . . About an hour later, they were done! I rubbed the chicken before cooking with the company's all-purpose rub (excellent!), and the family polished it off in short order. Again, rave comments from all! My next cook was Saturday before Memorial Day, and I wanted a "trial cook-off" before our large family and friends Memorial Day Feast. I hung four racks of baby back ribs on the rods (The PBC will easily do eight racks at one time.); results were acceptable but not perfect. I "peeked" about 2 1/2 hrs. into the cook (The video says do this only after 3 hrs.), and a time or two after. After about 3 1/2 hrs., the ribs were done: A little more chewy than I had expected, but still very good. (My "trial cook-off" tasters didn't complain!). On Memorial Day, I first cooked sixteen boneless, skinless chicken breasts (again, oiled and rubbed, with several chunks---not chips!--- of apple wood added to the lit charcoal). The chicken was done in about 45 minutes. I wrapped the chicken in foil and placed in the unlit oven to "rest." Next, I hung eight racks of rubbed baby back ribs on the rods. No need for added coals: Once you fill the charcoal basket, you've got enough heat for a total of about 6 or 7 hours of cooking (The company says you can easily finish a brisket in this time, unlike the longer time required by other smokers.) Three hours later, I checked the ribs, and left them on for another 45 minutes. Nice and tender! Slathered them with Baby Ray's sauce, put them on the rods to "carmelize," and took them off. Fantastic results! Tender, succulent, smokey Nirvana! Need I say, the family raved?? I highly recommend the Pit Barrel Cooker because of its bargain price and the excellent results it produces. It's the first smoker I've ever owned and I simply cannot imagine other smokers could produce better results. Since my first order, I've ordered eight additional hooks, to allow me to cook more pieces of chicken at one time. Finally, for grilling, a circular grill is included; my hamburgers (80-20% fat; ground chuck) were delicious, smokey and moist. ... show more

  • Very pleased with my purchase...
Size: Classic
I first read about the Pit Barrel Cooker a couple years ago on AmazingRibs.com (where I've learned everything I know about grilling and smoking). I put off buying one for too long. I had been successfully smoking meat on my Weber Kettle grill, but it was always a lot of work (controlling temperature, moving meat around for uniform cooking), short on capacity (maximum 4 racks of ribs or a 1 small turkey), and didn't hold enough fuel to smoke for very long (even with the Smokenator product). The Weber kettle works great for grilling and it's easy to use and clean, but I will never bother smoke on it again. So far, I have done a lot of ribs, 4 or 5 chickens, my first brisket, polish and boudin (Cajun) sausages, stuffed peppers, and sweet potatoes. Everything has turned out great and has been relatively easy. The chickens had crispy skin. The brisket was a huge full packer brisket from Costco and was somehow done in about 4 hours. I'm sure I cooked it too hot (due to my bent lid.... see below), but it was still tender and juicy, and I didn't even inject it... probably helped that it was a prime cut and I trimmed most of the fat off. Pit Barrel Cooker pros: - easy to use: no fiddling with air vents, simple to set up for each cook - high quality: barrel, lid, and rebar rods are all surprisingly heavy... this is a good thing - high capacity: 8 racks of ribs or 4 chickens, or 2 turkeys at a time - easy to transport: all pieces fit inside the barrel, which fits in the trunk of my car (have to tie the trunk shut, but oh well) - outstanding customer service: The lid I received was slightly warped like a pringle. It fit ok, but there were some gaps where too much air was escaping and my temperatures were a bit too high. I contacted the company, and they were very apologetic. They sent me a new lid for free, and they sent me a bunch of accessories for free because I had to wait a while for it. This included extra bottles of rub, grilling gloves, and 2 turkey hangers. I haven't used the barrel yet with my new lid, but I will try to update this review and add some pictures once I do. Pit Barrel Cooker cons: - minor gripe: they used cheap stain on the hook tool. If you hold the wooden dowel with damp hands, the red stain will come off. I didn't want to risk staining my clothes or furniture, so I held the tool under warm water and a ton of the dye came off... almost like watercolor paint or something. I scrubbed at it until the water ran clear. They should just not dye it at all. - 2nd minor gripe: the charcoal basket almost has TOO MUCH capacity, because the PBC cooks so fast. A few weeks ago, I smoked 6 or 8 racks of ribs. The barrel was still hot, so I cut 2 chickens in half and smoked them too. I probably could have done another round of chickens after that. This charcoal capacity CAN be great, but it's a waste of charcoal if I'm just cooking for me and my wife. I tried to fill the basket about 1/3 full last week and it didn't seem to ever get hot enough. I'm going to experiment with this some more, like maybe putting a piece of metal or fire bricks to keep the pile of charcoal deep. If you're on the fence, just buy one. This is a high-quality product and the price is more than fair for what you get. Also, I only paid $220 for mine because I signed up for an Amazon credit card at checkout and got an $80 gift card that was available for use immediately. ... show more
