Great video. Love the northern accents as a former Minnesotan now living in Houston. My wife’s grandmother lived in rural south Texas and passed away recently. While walking near a shed on the land where her old house was at, I stumbled on a pre 1990s original PK! I yelled, HEY, THATS A PK! My in-laws and wife all said what is that? I said it’s an amazing charcoal grill that hasn’t changed much in over 70 years! This one was made in the USA but now they make them overseas. I cleaned it up, and to my delight my wife’s grandpa passed it on to me. I put it in a new cart, shined the anluminum up a bit, and it’s found a special spot amongst my kettle, kamado and offset. It definitely holds its own amongst all those other grills. Maybe I’m biased but I agree with you and Brian that the old original is better; I mean mine lasted years sitting outside in the south Texas elements! Anyways, happy grilling my friend, and thanks for the great content.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! Amazing story, Enjoy!

I can only dream of finding an original PK one day. I've had Weber kettles, various smokers and everything under the sun throughout the years, but I recently went back to one the cheapest grills you can get because it was my first grill and after having everything else, I just realized that it was the most versatile. I call it the "poor man's PK", LOL.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! Enjoy!

[@ajw1976Horn]

Great video. I agree. I went to Ace Hardware and was able to view the new and the old, side by side. I like the old better, because of the vent mechanism. I see the blocks over the bottom vents as an improvement, but not enough to get the new over the old. I apologize if I've asked this question before, but where did you get the wooden shelf for the old PK?

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! Made it myself

[@tedz.]

Glad to see Brian in a video! He did an expert job on those steaks!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Yes he did! Thanks for watching Ted!

[@EricPetersen2922]

Fun day Tom!! Great cook too. The old PK’s sure are nice! New ones are good too.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching Eric! Agreed!

[@TheMayhem15]

Great to see the team back in action, :) Steaks 100%

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching! Had a blast!

[@jameslinn6918]

Hey Tom - I am in my late 50's. My dad had the PK when I was growing up. We loved it. Unfortunately, he gave it away when he downsized and I lived in an apt almost 40 yrs ago. I have a Weber kettle now for charcoal (among a few other bbq toys), but I still miss the Original PK and really wished I had gotten it over the Weber. Only real advantage with the Weber is the ash clean out.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching James! Agreed

[@rfbead321]

I've had multiple chances to pick up the Old Original PK, but my significant other three-quarters will eviscerate me if I bring home another grill (to accompany the other 5)....

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! Can’t go wrong with the PK!

[@jerryspringer4953]

I own the "original original" and the 360. Find myself using the 360 a lot more for the ease of cleaning.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching!

[@rayc76knoxville]

Thanks for the info. Will the "new" PK grill grate fit on the original PK Grill. I have the original PK, but will need to replace the grill grate on my Original PK.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! I don’t believe it will

[@miketheretiredplowguy1834]

Hey Tom, can I pick your brain about something thinking about purchasing a PK and was wondering if the seal between the top and the bottom is good enough or do you think it needs a seal to stop leakage. I’ve never seen one operated in person. I know you cook on it and I don’t notice a a seal with yours. Also, I’m going to be replacing my Oklahoma Joe pit barrel with this. The only reason why is space and convenience. What’s your opinion? Thanks a lot for being there and all your great videos.😀

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching Mike! Big difference between OK Joe and the PK especially in size. I’ve had 3 PKs over the years and haven’t needed to do any additional seals on the lid. It’s the perfect 225 cooker. Thanks again for watching!

[@HobiesGarageBBQ]

Great video TOMMMMM. I have the PK 360 so I enjoyed a look at these models.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching!

[@VillanuevaMedia]

Knew I saw brian. His infamous bbq trays 😂 Need him to start uploading again.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching!

[@jimcrookston2776]

I had an "original original" but sold it because it was just a bit too small. I will say it was one of the best indirect cookers I have ever owned. I bought it used so I didn't lose any money on it when I sold it, but probably should have kept it. I would prefer if the new ones were made in USA.

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching Jim!

[@markteel8346]

i got the pk 360 and love it

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching Mark! Enjoy!

[@user-ho1yn6ms7y]

@5:20 I spy some lump mixed in there with the new original! 😂

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching! Yes

[@waynethompson4315]

Tom, you’re killing me. I have a PK TX that I have to sell. I absolutely love my PK but the RV park we winter in in Arizona does not allow open fires including charcoal. We live in the RV so I have room for just one grill. I am getting a Z Grills Cruiser any day now. I think I’ll be able to sell the PK pretty easily. 😭

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching Wayne! Enjoy

[@Rbouch]

Another great comparison Tom

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching Robert!

[@backtothenorm]

Let's see a test against the PK360

[@backtothenorm]

Madhorse needs to make new videos!

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! Agreed

[@joelgarza3224]

Do they both completely remove from stand

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for Watching Joel! Yes

[@doct0rnic]

The biggest problem with the new original is it's not made in America, the original is cheaper than the new and still made in the factory in Arkansas, and yet they are trying to phase it out

[@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ]

Thanks for watching! Appreciate the feedback
