We tested the Pit Barrel Cooker and noticed this...

[@MaddieandKiki]

Do you own a Pit Barrel Cooker yet?? Or is one on your BBQ wish list??? 🔥

[@ScottysBackYardBBQ]

I reached out to them 6 months ago asking to try one out on my channel. They sent me rude email telling me nope lol

[@seansound]

Got mine is 2016 for 399 CDN and i love it. Just bought Turkey hanger accessories and a T-skewer gadget suitable for stacking sliced meat for making Tacos/Shawarma. Looking forward to it.

[@millersciencesms762]

Had mine for about 5 years.

[@danbender2161]

I bought a PBC after watching this video. It's waaaaay better than I imagined it would be. I'm a beginner, and found this thing to be incredibly easy to use. My babyback ribs taste like a professional made them! Thank you!

[@MaddieandKiki]

Congrats on your new PBC, Dan!!!! That’s awesome that you’re a beginner and went with the PBC!!! It’s an awesome grill!!!🔥😍

[@hawkeyeted]

I've had a PBC for five years. Never has it ever let me down, even without a temp gauge.

[@MaddieandKiki]

That’s awesome Ted!!!! We love the PBC!!!

[@illiniwood]

Get a "Weber Smoky Mountain" and the "Pit Barrel Cooker WSM hanging system" PBC sells on their site and your options will go through the roof. You're looking at roughly the same price with loads more options. Oh, and it comes with a built in thermometer too.

[@MaddieandKiki]

Pit Barrel sells an accessory for the WSM?? Great info, illiniwood!! We have the WSM and love it!! It’s an awesome smoker!!😍🔥👏

[@ixlzz]

Be aware that the PBC is designed to be operated with both hanging rods installed, even if they are not being used to support food, at all times. The airflow volume is calculated based on this condition.

[@MaddieandKiki]

FANTASTIC point, ixlzz!!!! Thank you for sharing with us, we will keep this in mind!!!🔥

[@CookingWithCJ]

The Pit Barrell is a rib machine, give those a try next cook! I love my PBC. Noah and Amber are awesome people. And google that sea level for your city! LOL

[@MaddieandKiki]

We LOVE ribs on the PBC!!!! We first brought one home years ago and ribs were our first cook on it!!!! The sea level thing threw us both for a loop, but you’re right, nothing a quick google search cant handle!!!! We Love ya CJ!!!!!!!!!💖🥰💃🏻

[@skoggit]

Hey my BBQ Sisters, the Pit Barrel Cooker is my go to cooker. Cooks everything perfect and it is basically a set it and forget it cooker. I bought mine several years ago and it's one of the best investments I have ever made in my life. With the Pit Barrel Cooker there is no need for a temperature gauge on the cooker or any probes. I have never used any probes and never will. Been cooking and smoking meat so long I can tell when it's done by looking and a good thermometer. I would say this cooker would be an excellent cooker/grill for a beginner. Enjoyed the review! See you all at Friday's Livestream God willing and the creek don't rise. You all Stay Safe & Take Care! Mrs. Skoggit sez hey to everyone!

[@MaddieandKiki]

Skoggit, you are the ultimate Grill Master!! We are not surprised that you own a PBC and love it so much, it really is an awesome cooker!! And we just found out that you and Big Reggie are good friends! We would love to meet you both someday, as well as Mrs. Skoggit! Oh the fun wed all have together!!! Probably more fun than a west Texas honkytonk on a Saturday night!!!!!!!😂🔥💃🏻🥰 see you Friday!!!!!

[@skoggit]

@@MaddieandKiki Hey my BBQ Sisters, Big Reggie and I are really good friends. He has came twice to Lubbock to visit. We always fire up the smokers and grills drink a few Ice Cold Lone Star Beers and enjoy the great times and friendship. Hope someday you all can make a trip to Texas and we can all get together. Lets see, Maddie, Kiki, Big Reggie, myself and Mrs. Skoggit all together. Texas would never be the same. lol! Like I always say we would have more fun than a West Texas honkytonk on a Saturday night! You all Stay Safe & Take Care! Mrs. Skoggit sez hey to everyone! See you at Fridays Livestream. Enjoy that PBC.

[@bbqottawa8092]

I’m a Weber Kettle guy, but this did intrigue me. Good job ladies👍

[@MaddieandKiki]

The kettle is one of our FAVOURITE grills that we own! It will always hold a special place in our hearts as we have cooked at a variety of events and festivals always with out Weber kettles! But this cooker is awesome too!!! Thank you, BBQ Ottawa!💖🇨🇦

[@Mankitchenrecipes]

Oh I like it! I don't have a PBC yet... But I will have one soon that my brother in-law us making for me😁 And I can't wait! Great review! 👍🍻💃🕺💃

[@MaddieandKiki]

Thank you Kevin!!! We know you’re going to love it, it’s such a unique cooker to add to your BBQ collection!!! Thank you for stopping by!🥰💃🏻

What's toxic with the homemade ugly drum...that yellow lining wasn't burned out before use

[@MaddieandKiki]

You got it Hugh, some homemade drum smokers contained toxic stuff before they were turned into a smoker!!🔥

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Does Maddie really crack a brew and wander over to the smoker😂😂😂😂😂😂I need to know😜😜😜😜I never realized the PBC had no temp gauge! Again, with Maddie! I need a temp gauge! Id drill it and add a few temp gauges! I'm with Kiki. You ain't packing that pit up😂😜😂😜😂 AWESOME show as usual! And thanks for the hug!!

[@MaddieandKiki]

LMAO!!!! I sure do!!!!! Whether it’s craft beer, or my tried and true PBR or Old Milwaukee, beers and smoking go hand in hand!!!! And we love that you agree with us both, Hot Tommy!!!!! Hugs hugs and hugggggggs!!!!!!🔥🥰

[@michaeldiernlinger2114]

Great review again ladies. I love, love, love the PBC!!! It's one of the most versatile grills and beef ribs out of it are one of the best experiences I've made so far. Do I miss a temperature gauge or water pan. I certainly don't cause everything cooks so evenly and perfect in this amazing device, I don't think you can make any mistake when using it properly. And there's one important thing - it has got horseshoe handles 👄 I'm glad that you have one in your fantastic grill studio now and hope to see it many times in the future. Did I say that this video was not only informative, it was super funny as well🤣 Love you and send big hugs 🤗🇨🇦💞👍🤩😎💙

[@MaddieandKiki]

Yaaaay we’re glad to hear you’re a PBC fan too, Michael! It is one solid unit that pumps out some awesome BBQ! I (Maddie) definitely gotta just sit back and relax and forget about the temperature gauge, you’re right, it cooks everything so evenly so you don’t even need to know the temp at all!!! And yes those horseshoe handles are soooooo darn AWESOME! Nothing ugly about this thing! And we are so glad this review gave you a laugh, we are always disagreeing as sisters do LOL!!!! Love you too and sending MASSIVE hugs!!!!!💃🏻💖🔥❤️‍🔥 🇦🇹☀️

[@AH-xoxo6969]

You two are entertaining and fun (ny)! I picked up a pit barrel @ my local recycling company, Urban Ore, in Berkeley, California, for $100 bucks. I’ve yet to fire it up. Are either of you Canadian females single, and available? I would love to chop and split your smoker wood and make delicious salads to enhance your culinary grilling forays. Wasabi Salmon over wild rice with grilled garlic asparagus and Tartine sourdough bread! Some Cabernet wine spice it up? Our imaginations are the limit. Thanks for your inspiring silliness! A toast to creativity!

[@MaddieandKiki]

WOW!!! What a proposal, AH! How can any gal say no to all of that tastiness!!!!🤣🥰 We love that you got an awesome deal on your PB, please let us know when you fire it up for the first time, we’d LOVE to see your first cook!!🔥

[@Willplunk]

Good review Ladies, the meat looked just right. I don't own a Pit Barrel Cooker. A good cook can cook on anything, you have proven that. I have a lifelong friend coming from Alabama this weekend and bringing five of her Ladies Group with her. My Niece is letting them stay at her lake house. I'll be cooking for 7 ladies and 2 men for 4 days, wish me good luck, I don't know what my friend has told them about my cooking, it should be interesting. I'll let you know how it turns out. KitKat gave your video a paw's up!

[@MaddieandKiki]

Oh my goodness gracious, Will!!!! That is one massive culinary endeavour you’re taking on! We hope you’ll send us a few pics from your feast, we’d love to see what you cooked up for that lucky crowd! We will wish you good luck, but feel that you don’t need it! A gathering of friends is so special, it is bound to be a fantastic time!!!!! 🥰🔥

[@Willplunk]

@@MaddieandKiki Thanks, I'll send some pictures after they leave. I have a surprise for them.🧡🧡

[@lucasmorse3425]

Make sure to leave the rebars in regardless of if you're hanging meat or not. They are part of the design which dictates airflow.

[@MaddieandKiki]

Great point Lucas!!! You are totally right! Those rebars are critical in proper air flow!❤️‍🔥

[@themaucks2254]

My only smoker and first one I've ever used, I need a 2nd one I like it so much. Easiest to use, set it and forget it, always comes out great. I smoke wild hog legs, deer, turkey, potatoes, ribs, pork butts.

[@MaddieandKiki]

You sound like our kinda BBQ person, The Maucks!!! Love hearing what you make on your grill!!! It all sounds so delicious!!!🔥

[@thejiaozijournals4017]

one thing i see that people miss even from the official site, is that most people over fill their basket. You ladies did not do that. He mentions on his site what you light with is supposed to come from what you filled with. I over filled once and it got too hot, especially if you add wood...

[@MaddieandKiki]

Great point, Jiaozi!! Every time you fire up your bbq, is an opportunity to learn! We learn so much everyday we grill!!! Grill on bbq friend!!😍🔥👏
