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!

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.
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!
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
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
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.
I have an offset, but honestly, I never use it anymore. It's the Pit Barrel, or the Weber Summit Kamado that gets most of the work! Thanks for watching and commenting!
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.
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!!
Great video, I've got five smokers including this one and like you mentioned putting foil in the vents to regulate temps. An absolute necessity.

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!
Great video!!! Thank you for this!
Any problem with using that in the grass?
NOPE!
I know this is primarily a smoker but can you bbq on it too and sear some steaks on it?
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 , 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
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.
Thanks Bro
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.
Hi. Can i cook with only wood?
Where. Can I buy this barrel
I have an offset is this worth getting
I have an offset, but honestly, I never use it anymore. It's the Pit Barrel, or the Weber Summit Kamado that gets most of the work! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Gotta love companies selling incomplete "Kits" these days
You don't have to mess around with it so nuch ie: foil.
It works just fine out of the box
Thanks.
Can I just put a layer of tin foil instead of buying the ash basket?
Good video.
