    Was the best purchase I made this year.

    This is an ideal product for someone who wants to start smoking meat for the first time or someone who has experience but wants simplicity and ease of use.

    I inherited a few smokers from my dad who passed away but they honestly were not very good products. Maintaining temperature was difficult and the results were discouraging.

    Remembering my Dad and on a whim this December, I looked into the world of smokers to see what was available. I found a youtube review from a guy with a 500 gallon offset smoker who recommended the pit barrel cooker to new people; based on ease of use, affordability and quality of food it could produce. I then focused on reviews specifically for this product. I was happy with the general consensus. I checked out the options on the website for a few days and pulled the trigger on the 22. 5 PBX and the prime package. I didn't want to want for anything. I'm glad I did. It was shipped out the same day and was here in maybe 2 or 3 days.

    It's a big box. Everything was neatly packed inside. All the extras are high quality and well made. The company takes pride in their products and brands their accessories.

    That first weekend with it, I smoked a pork shoulder for pulled pork and it came out perfect. I'm in Ocala, FL so I don't even bother moving the bottom vent from the down position. I just let the cooker do it's thing. I hung the meat from the hooks on one of the bars. I checked it after the first 2 hours to see what was happening and then maybe…
