Ribs & chicken in the barrel

[russ olin]

Yesterday we did some beef ribs & chicken in the pit barrel. Sure do like that thing. Set it up, get the food in and can go watch football.
For seasoning we used Tatonka Dust & Cabella's Open season Roasted Beer & Garlic on the ribs. One chicken was Montreal Chicken seasoning and the other was Tatonka w/ salt.
Cooked the ribs for about 3 hrs. Took them off and slathered with some of the wife's BBQ sauce and then back into the barrel. Here is a plate of ribs
Took the chicken off after the ribs, notice the missing legs, snacks. Then shredded it up & mixed in the last of the BBq sauce. Froze some and lunch stuff for the week.
Thanks for looking.

Great lookin cooks and I saw a barrell cooker like yours at the campground we camp at and I must say I liked it a lot and am looking into one.

 

[Bob Mann]

Yea S.Six, if I would have saw this smoker on here I would have taken my 18.5 WMS drill a hole straight across the top, get a rebar & make me some hangers, take out the water pan, close the top vents and run it just like the PBC. Then you could take out the rebar & plug the holes with bolts & washers, put the water pan back in open the top vents and you are back in business. So if you aren't scared to drill a couple of holes in the WMS you could do the same thing with one smoker. I would do this if I didn't have the PBC. Drilling a couple of holes in the WMS does not bother me. It is just metal.

No John, you just hang the ribs and forget it. A few hrs later dinner is ready.
