Hey Troy. Thanks for the well wishes and thoughts for us in Florida. The eye of Irma went through my town and caused a lot of destruction. I had some roof damage and water damage. Family is good. Worst part was that I couldn't make any Barbecue videos the last 2 weeks. Back to making videos this weekend

[@TROYCOOKS]

Awe man, so sorry to hear that you got the brunt of the storm. Man, I'm glad to hear you and the family are all ok though. And I'm glad you are able to get back to making videos so soon!!! You are a real trooper!!! Cheers brother!

[@meatcranium4280]

T-ROY COOKS CHEERS

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Troy that is chicken perfection right there! The Pit Barrel Cooker never disappoints. I'm with Booger! Wings are my favorite part :D

[@TROYCOOKS]

Yep, I need to cook on the PBC more often. Everything I cook on it tastes fantastic!!!! Well, I guess I'll have to start giving both you and Booger shout outs when I eat wings? LOL I'm a thigh man myself!!! LOL

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I really like thighs and breast too, but on a chicken I prefer the wings hehehe :P

[@guns4funfreedomkeeper999]

BBQ chicken is hard to beat. I wish we could all head down there and cook for the folks that have been affected by the Hurricanes.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Yep, BBQ chicken is some mighty fine eating!! There is a group you can join that cooks for folks involved in acts of nature. It's called Operation BBQ Relief.

[@RedsBBQandPizzeria]

Man, that looked really juicy and tender!!! Simplicity makes things so much better!!! Great job, BBQ4Life!

[@TROYCOOKS]

You got that right Jason!!! Most of the time, simple is better. That chicken was superb!!! Very tender and juicy! I'm really loving the PBC!!!

[@IzzyEatz]

Your best video on chicken yet. Enjoyed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pit barrel looks like a lot of fun.......

[@TROYCOOKS]

I appreciate that!!!! Glad you enjoyed the video. The chicken was superb!!! Thanks for watching!

[@cricket516]

Your chicken looked very good and I love how the skin looked all crispy. I love crispy chicken skin. Never seen a pit barrel cooker. It did a great job

[@chrisbrown456]

u should seriously consider getting one,one of my close friends owns one,and a couple of weeks ago we smoked a ham inside of it,prob one of the best things ive had in quite awhile

[@TROYCOOKS]

Yeah Cricket, get you a PBC!!! I've loved the flavor of everything I've cooked on mine. Great to hear from you!!! And congrats on getting over that 2500 sub mark!!! You keep on truckin' little lady!!! Cheers

[@renecorrea1008]

Troy, just found you a few days ago. Great videos! Really enjoying them. Best wishes from a fellow Texan! 👍

[@stratojack1]

I love that you can pronounce worcestshire sauce correctly.

[@hawkeyeted]

I once heard someone call it "Worst Word in the World sauce."

[@tubbytimmy66]

I love this guy. Hes like a awesome uncle lol t-roy. Keep up the great work.

[@NorthTexasBBQAddicts]

i really liked this one Troy!! that color on that chicken looked perfect!!! #keeponBBQn

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks Ken, that KosmosQ Dirty Bird rub was some good stuff. I liked the color of the skin too!!! And man, that was some fine eating chicken!!!!!

[@stevemitchell3601]

That was one fine bird, gotta get me one of those Pitbarrel cookers. Nice cook Troy!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks Steve, the bird was fantastic!!! As you could see, I didn't want to stop eating it! LOL Yeah man, you will love the flavor of the food cooked on a PBC. Go for it!!!

[@skwerlee]

Nice cook T-roy. FYI the turkey hanger isn't included with the PBC, it's an accessory they sell. The PBC is a chicken cooking machine. I usually cut my birds in half and hang them with the hooks. I'll try using the turkey hanger since I bought one for my Thanksgiving cooks. One thing I've found is hitting the bird with some good canola cooking spray every hour or so will also really help to crisp the skin up!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks for the info Jeremy!!! I did not know it wasn't included. The turkey hanger works great though!!! I'll have to give the cooking spray trick a try next time!!! Hope to see you soon brother!!! Cheers

[@jaguar5198]

The bird is definitely the word my good friend. Nice job cooking it in the pit barrel cooker. And it sure didn't need a whole lot of seasoning. Keep it up buddy!!

[@TROYCOOKS]

What's happening my brother Damien!!!! Yeah man, that chicken was outstanding!!! I need to fire up the PBC more often! Cheers to ya brother!

[@mikeerich1]

Who doesn't love a good wing?? The wing is my favorite part of the bird too! I need to get my hands on one of these PBC's! Thanks for sharing Troy!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Hey Mike, glad you enjoyed the video brother!!! That was some mighty fine chicken!!! Yeah man, get you a PBC. You will love it!!!

[@horacestacey3549]

Inject it as if you were going to deep fry it.

[@ChristysCookingLifestyle]

Simple is better!! Great shoutout to Booger, and the folks in FL. We lost power for 34 hours, no damage though. Delicious looking chicken. Thanks for sharing😃

[@TROYCOOKS]

Hey there Christy!!! I'm glad you didn't get any damage from the hurricane. And yeah, I've always got to give a shout out to Booger when I'm eating chicken wings!!! LOL Hope you have a fabulous week!!! Cheers to ya!!!

[@prestonbuffington954]

Good to see that PBC in action. Can't wait to get mine fired up again, ribs with neighbors. Cheers.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Glad you enjoyed the video Preston. I'm cooking up some baby backs on my PBC today. Good times brother!!! Cheers

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Looked amazing mate, great rub and flavours for sure. I was thinking a Peking Duck would go great in that pit, get some pancakes, spring onions and cucumber, slop on some hoisin sauce...... Giddy Up!. Good luck with all the bad weather guys. Stay safe. Cheers Moose.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Howdy my brother Moose!!!! I bet Peking Duck would be fantastic on the PBC!!! I'll have to remember to give that a try!!!! Cheers to ya my friend!

[@YouTubeAP81]

Good ole T-Roy with the massive dip in, love it!

[@jaybird4812]

[@TROYCOOKS]

[@TheHollarBBQ]

Good looking bird Troy. That pit barrel sure does and awesome job. I'm liking mine more and more.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Same here, I'm really loving the flavor of the meat cooked on the PBC. I'm cooking some baby backs on it later today!! YUM!!!!

[@TheHollarBBQ]

Nice I'm actually doing some ribs today too.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

That is an amazing looking chicken. The skin looks so crispy and the meat looks very tender.

[@TROYCOOKS]

It was excellent Dwayne. Very tender and juicy bird and the skin was almost bite through. As you could see, I didn't want to stop eating it!!

[@jasonsanitz5623]

Hey brethren of the briquettes!! As always enjoy all your videos, I just got my wsm 22" I absolutely love it, don't know how I have made it without one! Thanks for the great info, hope your doing well, and cheers to ya!!!

[@a075923]

[@randomactsofcooking]

Just got my PBC set up yesterday and going for chicken for the first coo. Thanks T-Roy.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Nice!!! I bet you're going to love the flavor of the meat you cook on the PBC. Thanks for watching!!!

[@andrewsanderson6904]

Great idea, loving your videos Troy. Keep up the good work pal

[@TROYCOOKS]

Hey Andrew, I appreciate the support brother!!!!! Cheers to ya!

[@Kentmoney53]

Great video brother!!! Looks fantastic, I actually just smoked a whole chicken myself last weekend, I've got to try this recipe! Congrats on 70k subscribers man!!!! Cheers brother, -Kent

[@TROYCOOKS]

Go for it Kent!!! That was some fine eating chicken brother!!! I'm over 70K subs now? Man, I really need to pay more attention to the numbers? LOL Thanks man, I appreciate it!!! Cheers back to ya!

[@CookinWithJames]

that's looks brother!! I'm doing a couple this weekend in the offset. just brushing up a bit. this was good video. Thanks!!

[@smokingtarheel3003]

Nice cook Troy. Great looking bird. It's a nice rib smoking machine too!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Yes it is Lee. I will have a video up soon doing ribs on the PBC. Thanks for watching brother!

[@lumpyq6385]

Nice Bird Troy, PBC is a great product. I haven't used mine too much since I bought the Big Joe. I keep it in my Truck when I travel and use it at Parties or the Campgrounds I visit. I don't have that small Chimney so I had the same problem with the bigger one. So I picked up 2-24" Dowels and screwed Lag Hooks into the ends of them. This way I can light the Basket on the ground, pick it up, and place it in without getting scorched.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Hey Lumpy, great to hear from you brother!!! Man, that sounds like American ingenuity at it's best right there!!!! I bet that does work out great for you!

[@RecruiterGK]

Great looking bird. Headed to store in a few for chicken, kids request on the PBC. Keep grilling and I'll keep watching!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Sounds great Grant!!! I'm sure the kids will be following in their Dad's footsteps soon enough, so enjoy that time before they take over cooking duties outdoors!!! LOL

[@getoutandgrill]

Looked really good. I love cooking on the Pit Barrel

[@TROYCOOKS]

What's happening Chris!!!! Man, congrats on getting over 20K subs!!!! The bird was fantastic! I'm really loving cooking on the PBC. In fact, I'm doing some baby backs on it later today! YUM!!!!!

[@Chris-sr1id]

Hey Troy, that flavor is what my family demands from me. We have a WSM and I achieve that same flavor with the water pan out. The WSM is pretty versatile and the top rack never allow flair ups. The ribs without wood is also a favorite since I can control the vents and temp. We tried your jalapeno cream cheese wrapped thighs on the WSM without the water pan and oh man...as you say, it was some same fine eating my friend!!!! MMMMHHH . Basically we turned our smoker into a Pit Barrel Cooker and do all of our BBQ that way. Looking forward to your next video my friend. :-)

[@TROYCOOKS]

Great info there Chris!!! I will have to give that a try on my WSM. Glad your family enjoyed the stuffed chicken thighs!!! YUM!!!

[@sandy-k1n]

Hi Troy, great looking bird..Hi to Karen and the doggies. have a great day and see you on Thursday, God Bless.XXOO

[@TROYCOOKS]

Hey there Sandra!!! The bird was fantastic!!! As you could see, I didn't want to stop eating it! LOL See ya Thursday!! God Bless!

[@doublejbbq42]

great looking chicken, that pit barrel cookers does a fine job

[@TROYCOOKS]

Yes indeed, I'm loving the PBC. Everything I've cooked on it has been terrific!!! Hope you guys are doing well!!! Cheers

[@progers5019]

That was one pretty chicken on the PBC Troy. I like what you said, sometimes simple is better. I agree. I love the direct pit way of outdoor cooking. I just know I'll end up with one of those one day. Nice job on that bird. Cheers to ya

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks Phil and cheers to you also buddy!!!

[@LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

That is one nice bird Troy. I am a bit envious of the pitbarrel cooker. Maybe i need to expand my arsenal with one one of these days :)

[@meatcranium4280]

Lasse's Food and Barbecue HA HA FOUND YOU!! What's up Brotha, I like them pit barrel cooker as well

[@LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

All is well my friend :) Hope you are getting back in order as the days progess!

[@LassesFoodAndBarbecue]

T-ROY COOKS Thank you Sir. I hope so as well :)

[@PostalBarbecue]

[@OneTenBBQ]

Nice looking bird. I like the Pit Barrel cooker. I got to get me one of those cookers.

[@TROYCOOKS]

I hope you do get a PBC Tim. I truly love the flavor of the meat cooked on it. Thanks for watching brother!! Cheers

[@nautical2086]

[@TROYCOOKS]

Go for it brother!!! It's some fine eating!

[@NoHippieBBQCooking]

[@charliessmokinbbq6736]

Great cook Troy looks really good

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks very much Charlie!!! It was truly some fine yardbird brother!!!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks very much Charlie!!! It was truly some fine yardbird brother!!!

[@rootboycooks]

Lee And Perrins rocks but next time try some Tsang's! If you can't find any let me know and I will send you some! The PBC does the best chicken! Rock On TRoy!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Hey Sal, I can get Tsang's locally, but I appreciate the offer brother!!! Rock On!!!

[@EverydayBBQ]

Looked great just like always, TRoy!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks much! I appreciate the support. Man, you're getting close to 500 subs!!! Very cool!!! Keep up the great work brother!

[@EverydayBBQ]

T-ROY COOKS Thanks buddy! Yes I’m excited! I enjoy this so much. Thanks for all the hard work you’ve done. You provide a great example for all of us fellow KZbinrs!

[@KCWanderlust]

The PBC rises to the occasion yet again. Great lookin' yardbird, T-Roy! I'll give the video a 2nd "like" as soon as I'm over on the you-know-what channel (Kinda' busy with this one this week).

[@TROYCOOKS]

Yep, that PBC can cook up some fine eating chicken! I appreciate the support Dan!!! So, you have more road trip footage coming up? I"m looking forward to it brother!!

[@KCWanderlust]

Every Friday for the next few months. I appreciate the support, too. It's really great that 2 of my you tube worlds can collide!😀

[@BarlowBBQ]

I see you trimmed up the ol' beard! Looks great! Love that little charcoal chimney, I need to pick up one of those. Have you ever tried the wax starter cubes? I know you use the tumbleweed starters, and they look like they work really well, too. Great bird, great video as always! Cheers!

[@TROYCOOKS]

What's up my brother Matthew!!! Yeah man, I got trimmed up good! LOL I have tried the wax cubes, but like the tumbleweed starters better. The bird was fantastic!!! Thanks for watching and keep that smoke rollin' brother!!

[@GadjetGriller]

Wow That Chicken came out GREAT! I'm especially jealous of those wings!! They were huge. Inspired me I'm gonna go get a chicken and do it in my PBC! Have a great week! Oh and Cheers!!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Sounds like a plan brother!!! Cheers to ya!

[@pokerman9108]

you should let the coals get going a bit before placing the meat on. You want the non started coals to heat up. Otherwise you end up with that Kingsford soot taste. (or over smoke sooty taste) I found you should let the drum come up to temp with thin smoke coming out. Then place the meat on. Thanks for the video T-roy

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks for the tips and thanks for watching!!! Cheers brother!

[@ericcannon9962]

Thats some good lookin yard bird there troy. Nice job gotta get me one of those barrel smokers. Want to find a nice vertical smoker as well

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks Eric, I'm gonna be using the PBC more often. I'm really loving the flavor of the meat that is cooked on it. Get ya one!!!

[@wisdomSP]

Hey T-Roy! I've been pretty busy lately and haven't seen your most recent videos, so I'm catching up. I see you did not use any wood on the PBS. is it not needed? I think we would all enjoy seeing a detailed setup video of the PBS like you have done with the WSM. Thanks for the videos!

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]

Hey Troy this chicken looks great brother! I love the Kosmos Qs Products! I'm hungry for chicken now! Great video!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks brother Rich!!!! Yeah man, sounds like you need to fire up your grill or smoker!!! Get you some chicken going brother!!! YUM!!! I'm doing baby backs on the PBC later today. Come on over!!!

[@RichsRiverSmokersWestVirginia]

T-ROY COOKS might fly down soon you never brother! Much love!

[@cuepee1972]

I've said it before; nothing like PBC chicken. You've gotta do a turkey! You won't be disappointed.

[@TROYCOOKS]

No worries Quinn, I will definitely be doing a turkey on the PBC. I just can get over how wonderful the meat tastes when cooked on the PBC. Wow!!!!!

[@TheReapersSon]

T-Roy! Do you now find you use the PBC more often over other units that you own? It really seems that for 95 percent of smoking / grilling needs, it would do the job and then some!

[@881Gino]

Mate, I'm just coming off nightshirt down here in Australia and man have you made me hungry!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks, that was some fine eating chicken!!! I appreciate you watching. Cheers mate!!!!!

[@rrocha1981rr]

Love your videos Troy, but you need a cast iron cooking grate for that weber kettle them thing are awesome.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks for reminding me!!! I do need to get the Craycort cast iron grill for my Kettle. I appreciate you watching!

[@MrMotovader]

Enjoyed it as always cheers brother T-Roy

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks very much Scott!!! Have a great week my friend! Cheers bro!!!

[@JimJacksonOK]

I saw you in Chef Tom's video!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Yeah, Justin and I were cruising through Wichita, KS and decided to stop in and see Chef Tom and the folks at ATBBQ. They just happened to be shooting a video and asked us to join them on camera!!! Really nice folks and Chef Tom can definitely cook up some fine eats!!!

[@jarsjohnson3921]

Chicken is looking good T Roy especially when you tore it up like a Viking. LOL. Looking good buddy!

[@TROYCOOKS]

[@alanbailey3787]

Another awesome one brother.

[@odeed]

Chicken looks good man. Just a heads up you can now take chicken off when it's at an internal temp of 165. :)

[@TROYCOOKS]

[@SmokinDawG]

[@kevinfarmer5895]

Looks real good. Great video

[@Booger500us]

Mah Troy, Mah Big brother...I love how you think of me when you eat wings hehe, Irma took a turn and only side kissed us thank god. Thanks for thinking and checking in on us Troy, Love ya bunches and bunches! HI KAREBEAR! *mouah*!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Hey there mah sista!!!! I think of you and Tom all the time, but I do enjoy giving you a shout out when I eat chicken wings!!! LOL I'm glad everything worked out with y'all and the hurricane. Lots of others were not so lucky. God bless ya Booger!!! Give Tom a hug for me!!!!!

[@YouTubeAP81]

T-Roy with the dip in!

[@ricnog7468]

The PBC doesn't come with that turkey hanger. You have to buy it separately. And why did you hang the chicken upside down?

[@robertzenniful]

Crack the lid the last 5 minutes of the cook and you will get the skin crispy

[@SteliosNickMamatis]

Hey man all the way from Athens Greece this was one heck of a chicken u made there!! l'll make my own T barrell cause they dont sell these here. I guess l'll need the gizmo on top to hang the bird or whatever. I'd appreciate yr input Roy. U can call me Nick.Thanks

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks Nick!!!

[@bgbbq8449]

Thanks for the FL thoughts T-Roy, good lookin bird 😎

[@TROYCOOKS]

You bet Brandon!!! I truly hope everyone in Florida gets back to a somewhat normal routine quickly. I have lots of friends down there. Thanks for watching brother!!! Cheers

[@joejoe7708]

Eye went right over me. I'm good thanks! Cheers TRoy!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Ha!!!! Cheers Joe!!!

[@eltonsbbq-pit]

Hey Troy! Yeah sometimes less is more... Great looking bird.. that pitbarrel cooker does a great job. I have bought some KosmosQ rub and sauce.. paid more for posting than the items.. hahahaha Cheers brother!

[@TROYCOOKS]

What's up my brother Kjetil. Hope all is well on your end of the world my friend!!! I'm diggin' the KosmosQ rubs. That chicken was fabulous!!!! Cheers to ya brother!!!

[@Airstream4458]

That looked like one yummy yardbird, Troy ! Just curious, do you ever have an issue with excessive flame ups on the pit barrel cooker burning the food with the fat dripping down in the coals ?

[@RecruiterGK]

Stuart Harrod being an owner of a PBC the meat hangs so far away no need to worry about flair ups plus with so little air no. At least we haven't had issues.

[@TROYCOOKS]

I've cooked on the PBC several times and the only time I ever see anything near a flame up is when I leave the lid off too long during a video shoot. But, when you place the lid back on, the flames die out. I haven't really had any issues and the meat tastes terrific on the PBC!!!

[@virginiofabbrocile6007]

my compliments, really great.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thank you very much Virginio!!!

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

Nice looking chicken brotha! Now I gotta throw one in the smoker tonight.

[@TROYCOOKS]

You need to get a PBC brother James!!! You would love the flavor of the food you cook on it!! I'm cooking some baby backs on the PBC again later today. I'm gonna shoot a video recreating what we cooked last time you came over to hang out! YUM!!!!!

[@CentralTexasGrilling]

I sure do need to get my hands on one. I think I'll just pull the trigger on one...I'll just need to find room for it on my deck.

[@strife01104]

T-roY you smoking a Turkey on that in November or the WSM?? ALso did that pit come with rib hooks? That chicken looked GOOD!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Yeah, I will probably do a couple of turkeys this year. And yes, the PBC comes with 8 hooks. I will have a rib video coming up very soon, so stay tuned!!

[@tommywoo1888]

thank you!!!!!!!!!

[@sevenmile24]

Bite thru skin , excellent.

[@stephanieyeminez89]

Hi cheers .. chicken looks delicious making me hungry. Hi karen

[@TROYCOOKS]

Howdy Stephanie!!! It was some fine eating chicken!!! Karen says Hi back!

[@lorettahuff3811]

Your food look great

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks very much Loretta!!! I appreciate you watching!

[@ribsnwrenches9886]

T-Roy, what if one was to stuff the chicken with just some plain chicken stuffing mix? I dont have a PBC but I think I can try it on my WSM 18.5.

[@TROYCOOKS]

That would definitely work Kevin, but you may have to tent some foil on the bird at the beginning to keep the skin from burning up. It will take a while for that stuffing to get cooked since it's inside the bird. I usually just make the stuffing on the side.

[@ailous626]

Hey troy, do you think the turkey hanger can hang between the kettle gourmet grates if you take the center out of the grates?

[@RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN]

Pretty bird Troy!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks Richard, it was some mighty fine eating my friend!

[@donjulio8727]

T, I got some sandhill crane from my boys at our corp office back in Texas and I wondered if you had ever smoked any? After smoking on my Weber kettle for over 12 years I finally got a WSM and wanted your thoughts on using this vid as a guide. The crane meat is quite a bit darker and wanted any suggestions you might have

[@TROYCOOKS]

Hey Don, congrats on the new WSM brother!!! I know you are going to love it! Crane is a pretty large bird, so you should probably treat it more like a duck cook. The basics are the same as cooking chicken, but it will probably take longer for the larger bird. If you are going to smoke it, I'd start out smoking it at 225-250F for a couple hours or so. When the internal temp gets to around 145 in the breast meat, kick up the heat to around 325F to finish cooking and crisp up the skin. I bet it's gonna be good!!!

[@byronchandler5000]

Hi, Troy. You are one cool dude. What's the best tip for preparing for the Thanksgiving parade? Have a good day, good buddy.

[@TROYCOOKS]

You are one cool cat yourself Byron!!!! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@matthewpuryear4447]

Hey man, looking to buy first smoker and torn between the pit barrel or the Oklahoma joes bronco? Just a beginner and looking to try everything, which one would you go with?

[@martinwayman8373]

T-Roy, that bird looked delicious!! Where did you pick up your pit barrel cooker?

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks Martin, glad you enjoyed the video. The chicken was outstanding!!! The folks at PBC sent me that cooker, but they are available on Amazon. I usually put a link in the description for Amazon if you are interested. It's a great cooker!!! I'm doing some baby back ribs on it later today! YUM!!!!!

[@GoOutsideAndCook]

Good lookin' chicken Troy, That skin looked bite through.

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks much! It was really close to being bite through skin. And the chicken was so tender and juicy!!! Man, that was some mighty fine eating! I appreciate you watching Orrie!!! Cheers

[@hollernathan]

Hey Troy I’m used to brining my chicken for the Weber Smokey mountain with this cooker is it necessary to brine? Thank you

[@gbelectrical969]

Hi T Roy I have a Kamado joe Looking at adding either the pit barrel cooker or the Webber smokey mountain to my collection What’s your thoughts Pro v cons Thanks in advance Grant

[@roberthayes6788]

How crisp was the skin

[@alonzohunter1393]

Would you recommend the Pit Barrel Cooker

[@nigel8499]

Awesome!

[@TROYCOOKS]

Thanks Nigel, that KosmosQ rub is good stuff brother!

[@charlesgoff6429]

Hey T Roy, love your videos. Question, you have several smokers. Which smoker produces the best smoked BBQ?

Hey Charles, I appreciate the love brother!!! Of all my cookers, my offset produces the best flavored BBQ. Next would be my WSM, then my Kettle, then the PBC. I don't use my Kamado Joe for low & slow cooking because it leaves a smoldering smoky flavor in the meat. Hope that helps!

T-ROY COOKS thanks T-Roy. I have a Traeger and have been eyeing a Yoder offset. BTW, love your videos.

Yoders are nice pits, but so are Gator Pits, Lone Star Grillz, and Shirley Manufacturing. Oh, Lang Smokers is great too!!! So, you have options! I think I'm about to get a Lone Star Grillz offset just to change things up a bit on my channel, plus my son wants my Yoder Wichita and wants to learn how to cook authentic BBQ.

Im sure the PBC does a great job but as @ChrisCuriel does below, what is the difference in just using the WSM? I've often wondered what keeps one end of your meet from cooking faster than the other with the PBC especially with ribs. One end hangs soo much closer to the fire than the other end.

I like the flavor of the meat cooked on the PBC. It's a different flavor that what you get from the WSM because on the PBC, the grease drips onto the hot coals and vaporizes getting back into the meat. The air flow within the PBC is more like a vortex or convection oven, so the bottom of the hanging meat does not cook faster. I know, it sounds like it's not possible, but it is and it does work great!!!
