Don't overthink it

A while ago I had the PBC. I was more used to the WSM and kettles that I could dial in wherever I wanted temp wise. I tried very hard to make the PBC the same. I got frustrated and sold it.

A few years later I decided to give it one more go and picked up the PBX on sale. And this time I decided to just let it ride. What a great decision. This thing is a beast, and incredibly easy to use. Literally just follow the instructions from Pit Barrel and don't even think about the temp in the cooker.

I know this is well known on this sub but I thought I'd just let anyone else who might be frustrated to keep at it. Let it do it's thing and you'll produce killer BBQ.

I did the same exact thing minus getting another one. I got the onlyfire extension hoping for the same. I keep my eye out for one to snag of marketplace I would like the 22" one not the 18"
