One of the most incredible inventions on the face of god's green earth. I have had mine since about four days after Macungie 2017 and it has become a way of life in my home. I have done brisket, ribs, tri-tip, ham shoulders for pulled pork, pork loins but what I enjoy the most and have down to a science are simple roast beef. You can smoke a nice 2-4 pound roast beef in about 3.5 hours.
The one thing about the PBS you need to understand is that it is *specifically* designed around charcoal (they want you to use standard, plain Kingsford, but many folks are reporting success with Royal Oak. I plan on trying it soon.) Also, you need to use the specific amount of charcoal, or else the interior temperature may not get hot enough or too hot and overcook your food too fast or unevenly. If you are used to a wood smoker, you may not like the PBS.
I highly recommend the Pit Barrel Smoker to anyone- from experienced to amateur smokers, especially the amateur guys. They have a fantastic website.
