Technical difficulties are just part of TH-cam, I'm surprised they happen to you though. Your chicken looked so delicious, I know every bite was delicious. Such a cool PBC, hope to see some of those beach cooks. Thanks for sharing😃
Yep, they do happen, but luckily we normally catch it. I was shooting by myself today, and one of my cameras has started stopping the recording out of the blue for no reason. It's been doing it for a few months now. My son is normally behind the cameras and catches anything like that, and we re-shoot. Oh well, I wasn't going to scrap this video over that last little bit even though it was the money shot lol! Thanks for watching Christy!
I want to thank you for your vids you are the same age as my dad and we cooked together like you do but I lost him in a tragic accident 2 years ago and it has been real helpful to watch your vids helping me overcome the loss. Now it is time for me to get my kids out there with me and video it that is one thing my dad did not do to look back on.
If ever I come on holiday from Australia, I DEMAND you have me as a dinner guest! 😂 Keep up the great work mate, you've taught me a lot and my family are eternally grateful! :)
I have to say, Louisiana style hot sauce is my favorite. I’ve been making my own lately, playing around with spices, chili’s and super hot peppers. Fun thing to do
Nice to see the new addition to the PBC family. Those style cookers are my favorite for cooking anything poultry. Great Cook Rus! Whats there not to like about a buffalo chicken!
I practically busted a gut when " Tech Difficulities"came up LOL! While Im pretty much a stick burner, I have to admit a PBC makes a lotta sense and I surely wouldnt be against adding on to the arsenal! Thanks again so much Rus,I know that chicken dissappeared PDQ!
I thought I was gonna have to scrap this video, but I said to myself, heck no, I can still make it work. Talk about bad timing! Right when I pulled the bird out for the money shot, either the camera stopped recording or the SD card didn't capture it. Not sure, but hope it doesn't make a habit out of it lol! Yeah, it's a really nice addition, and especially if you want to go somewhere because of it's portability. What is amazing is, even with it's small size, it can still do 6 racks of ribs at the same time. Not bad at all!
Hey Rus, Nice cook on the PBJr... the chicken came out juicy as it always does on the PBC. I always thought the original was portable enough, like you said. I'm liking the Jr for smaller cooks and not having to use as much charcoal as the original... Thanks for the video... Chris
Rus, I've been watching ur videos since 2015 and man I really love ur recipes but I sadly cannot try out the beer/wine type of recipes. All thought it is gonna be good and i'm sure of it. but I can't sadly. You see i'm from Dubai(Yep, all the way to the middle east) and sadly beer/wine is not allowed into this country and it's forbidden. But so far I've trying your recipes and i'm only 20 years old and I must say your recipes are going to kill me! I try to maintain my Gym schedule but I have to be late cause i'm cooking one of your amazing recipes haha ! Keep up the good work Rus!
I love watching a Smokey Ribs Rus Jones video. Nice points made on the Jr. Chicken looked good for that one second. lol Had to be good. Gotta love the PBC series
Great idea to use the skewer like the turkey hanger. I've seen alot of folks use them 4 al Pastore taco meat too. Chicken looked great, I'm gonna try your recipe in my pbc.
Thanks Quinn! There are so many things you can do with these skewers, but the short one came in real handy for this cook. Enjoy the recipe and thanks for watching!
*Man O Man...Right now I'm cooking some Hot Wings on the grill. But, that chicken looks good, and I heard the crispness of the wing when you bit into it. This is definitely a winning recipe my friend.*
Nice job Rus. I saw a little bit of that chicken when you was pulling it out. I was thinking of getting the JR to take camping with me and do a few videos in the woods.
Thanks Kevin, and this pit is perfect for camping! Once we get the sailboat back in the water after some maintenance, I plan on using it on a local island. Easy to carry anywhere.
Thanks Julie! I appreciate it! Yeah, I hate when you discover a major problem "after" the cook is over. Oh well, I was bound and determined to make it work out, and I think it did
Hey Rus, I love your videos so keep putting them out there please. That chicken/turkey lol looked amazing. I've made and sold several of these grill/smokers and they work fantastic. I've done burgers, chicken, meatloaf, pork and beef ribs, pork butts, pork chops, it's all amazing. Keep it up brother.
20F degrees here in northeastern Vermont lots of snow and a pit barrel cooker may work, or not. I'm relying on my Weber Kettle to get me through the winter. Too funny with you wearing shorts and a T-shirt and me freezing my rocks off here. Great vid Russ and thanks for sharing mate. Cheers!
It's been getting down to mid 30's at night, but warms up to the mid 60's around noon, and that is just perfect for my liking, but I know we will get colder before it's over with. Thanks, I appreciate it!
Russ, assuming you can reduce the amount of charcoal in the PBC for shorter cooks (which the company has assured me works fine), is portability the only reason for the PBj?
They are both portable. I would think the Jr would be great for single guys (ladies) or couples, but if your cooking for a family or more the original is the way to go
Lookin good Rus.... wow, only $70.00 difference in the full size and the Jr.. I guess the portability makes it worth it. Nice cook even with the tech difficulty.
lol oh man I was so disappointed when that got cut right as you were elevating that chicken LOL! Darn it! Hey it turned out great anyway! PBC is on my list for someday. Great video as always, Rus!
Hey Russ, as you know by now I'm a new subscriber and love your videos!! I have researched smokers that fit my budget and will be buying a full-size PBC. I also grill/smoke on my Weber and hope you video more cooks on that as well. Please keep the videos rolling!! God bless and happy grilling!! (or smoking or steaming or boiling...Lol.)👍
A Weber and PBC is a great combination of cookers and there is nothing you can’t grill or smoke between the two and great results as well. Thanks so much I sure appreciate it 👍
Thanks Adam! You will have to smoke one of these up. I love the Buffalo flavors on chicken. Glad you got to fire yours up! Very handy pit, and so easy to run.
Great video as usual Rus. I'd love to see you do baby backs on the Pit Barrell jr. I tend to make three racks for the family and am wondering how this compares to my egg (other than obviously being way more portable).
Barrel smokers do really well. I especially like the little one so I can throw it in the truck easily when going on a camping trip, day trip, fishing etc.
Is it the same cook time for a rack of ribs,as on a grill or other smokers,about 3 hours? I'm going to have to see about getting me 1 of those pit barrels,thanks!
They really don't hold much charcoal, but I suppose you could close the bottom vent to restrict the air. I don't do that because once you set the lower vent to your elevation, your suppose to just leave it there. The JR. took one half of the smallest bag that Kingsford charcoal makes, so like I said, they don't use a lot of charcoal.
I guess you could do that, but no more charcoal than either one of these use, I just normally let it burn out, and dump it the next day. The Jr. only took one half of the small bag of Kingsford charcoal briquettes
Looks fantastic. Pit barrel question? They call it a cooker, the chunks of wood and you call it smoked chicken. Names aside, what is the flavor profile with this cooker? More charcoal taste like say maybe a charcoal grill or spit, or more smokey like a wood smoker vertical or offset? I've cooked chicken on an open spit with charcoal/wood, and chicken in a smoker with wood/charcoal and they don't taste the same at all. It's all delicious!! But just wondering if I got one what it'd be like?
I would say more like using a Weber Grill, and adding wood chunks to the charcoal. Nice smoke flavor, but it could never compete with a wood burning offset. None of them can. But that's my opinion. Just keeping it real here. The beauty of this cooker, is the hanging method with can allow you to cook a lot of racks of ribs at the same time. The larger can do 8 and the smaller can do 6 racks. You will be hard pressed to find any smoker/cooker in this price range that can do that ;)
Russ, that looked really good, i have a question about the Pit Barrel Cooker, when you hang a rack of ribs, dont they get close to the fire on the bottom of the rack and risk burning? and now a comment on the cook, you probably could have used your injection mix as the binder for your rub being that there was butter in it(i believe this is what also probably made the skin crisp up)( I want to make this soon,my kids love buffalo chicken as do i,, Also Merry Christmas, your friend, Charlie
You would think they would burn but they don’t. Matter of fact the top of the rack actually cooks a little faster. I always notice the meat pulling away at the top of the rack first. The PBC cooks similar to a convection oven.
I’m in the market for a PBC. I have limited space and will only be cooking for me and my girlfriend most of the time. Would you recommend the Jr or full size. Looks like you can still fit quite a bit of meats in there. My only issue would be doing a brisket and not being able to fit it on the smaller grate after wrapping it.
I've been thinking of getting those skewers for hanging steaks, do you think that would work? Love your videos, even the ones without the Pit Barrel ;)
I normally sear my steaks over hot coals, but you can hang anything you want with these skewers. Lot of uses for them. Thanks, glad you enjoy the videos
I was sure that the "technical difficulties" would be that you dropped the bird; then had to edit out the cussin' and punting it across the road part. I'm glad that I was wrong. Is there enough room in the Jr. to get two big chickens in it at the same time, and still allow for proper airflow between them?
LOL, I actually had that happen on a pizza video a long time ago. I pulled the pizza off of the stone, and it slid off of the metal pizza peel, and turned face down into the grass. There were a few choice words when that happened :D Yeah, two chickens would fit in this pit with no problem. I plan on using it in the kinda near future, once we get our sailboat back in the water and able to go to local Islands, and I'll do a lot of different things on those videos, so stay tuned to that.
Start by cleaning all the mold off with a cleaner and old rags, then load the fire box and fire it up and let it burn until it burns out. That will take care of it.
I personally wouldn't smoke mullet on a PBC. It runs a bit to hot for my preference for smoking mullet. I like to smoke them in the 225°F range for around 3 hours on indirect heat. There are better options when it comes to smoking mullet.
Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine interesting that is pretty quick I have only used the larger barrel and whole chickens always take around 2 1/2 - 3 hours
This was only a 4 pound chicken. I've done a whole brisket in 5.5 hours. Watch the video. Everything I cook tends to cook faster on the Pit Barrel Cooker. I do ribs in 3.5 hours and it normally takes 4.5 on any of my other smokers, and that is because this does tend to run above the typical "low & Slow" temps that we normally run our other smokers at.
Yeah, I hate when that happens, but part of making videos. It's about time for me to replace all of my SD cards. Not sure if it was the camera acting up or the card. Hopefully just the card. Thanks Booger!
Nope, not even close. The bird turned out fantastic. Tech difficulty is exactly what it says. One of my main cameras has recently decided to stop recording right in the middle of shooting a clip. My son normally helps me shoot and catches it, but I had to shoot this one alone, and only knew what happened after I started editing, but I had way to much work into this video to just scrap it.
“If you wanna cook backyard bbq till you get your fillllllll” My ears perk up like a dog! My profession is a dj (all stereotypes aside yes Hip-Hop and R&B...none of this mumble new age crap but ll cool j, new edition, return of the Mack style) and I WILL find a way to play this song in an event, party, bar scene lol! As long as I have the rights to of course lol! But as always good vid like most (until I see mayo incorporated yuckkkkk)
Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine yes please. Not really sure how this works but do I just leave my email here? I’ve done food contests and food truck rally’s and I think this would fit perfectly!
I've had the large one for over 4 months, still in great shape. So you know, this is an upgrade from their first covers that they offered. I know the people at PBC, and I'm sure they will replace your cover if it didn't last any longer than that.
Technical difficulties are just part of TH-cam, I'm surprised they happen to you though. Your chicken looked so delicious, I know every bite was delicious. Such a cool PBC, hope to see some of those beach cooks. Thanks for sharing😃
Yep, they do happen, but luckily we normally catch it. I was shooting by myself today, and one of my cameras has started stopping the recording out of the blue for no reason.

Now it is time for me to get my kids out there with me and video it that is one thing my dad did not do to look back on.
Sorry to hear about your dad! Glad my videos are of help for you. Your kids will thank you later for that. That is one reason I make videos :)
If ever I come on holiday from Australia, I DEMAND you have me as a dinner guest! 😂
Keep up the great work mate, you've taught me a lot and my family are eternally grateful! :)
If you did visit Rus, eat his southern food, why would go back down under? Put some south in yer mouth -- good southern food.
Nice demo of the two smokers.
the technical difficulties just adds to your authenticity Rus! the bird looked great and the PB Jr looks awesome.
Thanks Michael! I appreciate you watching!
Good walkthrough on the PBJ, Russ. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, I appreciate it, and thanks for watching!
Set it and forget it is the way to go, this is a nice addition to the PBC world.
Nice cook Rus!
I have to say, Louisiana style hot sauce is my favorite. I’ve been making my own lately, playing around with spices, chili’s and super hot peppers. Fun thing to do
Another excellent cook. Technical difficulties aside, a home run. :)
Thanks for the demo Russ.
Thanks Scott, I appreciate it!
As always, you're the best on TH-cam. I need to try a chicken on my pit barrel using this method.
Thanks Lee, I really appreciate that! Heck yeah man, the PBC does chicken very well! My huli huli chicken video was like the best chicken ever.
gonna have to try this recipe..I'm a big fan of crystal Louisiana and buffalo myself...thanks for the video
I hope you do, I'm pretty certain your gonna love it. Thanks for checking the video out!
Been a Weber guy for years. But this Pit Barrel Jr. looks really awesome. Definitely investing in one for some new summer ideas. Great job Russ 👨🍳🎸
Nice to see the new addition to the PBC family. Those style cookers are my favorite for cooking anything poultry. Great Cook Rus! Whats there not to like about a buffalo chicken!
Yeah, I'm really liking the Jr. Easy to grab and take on a camping trip, fishing, etc. Thanks for watching Jason!
Oh I thought when you took it off it fell. I really want one of those pits. Love you BBQ brother thanks for all that you do.
No, my camera quit recording and didn't realize it until I was in edit. Oh well, at least it happen at the end. Thanks, I appreciate it!
Love cooking chicken on the Pit Barrel. Great cook Rus,
Thanks Chris!
Liked the video. This is the entry level smoker I will buy for the summer.
I practically busted a gut when " Tech Difficulities"came up LOL! While Im pretty much a stick burner, I have to admit a PBC makes a lotta sense and I surely wouldnt be against adding on to the arsenal! Thanks again so much Rus,I know that chicken dissappeared PDQ!

It does look moist
Thank you, Russ, for buying from a veteran owned businesses.
*and that buffalo chicken looks mighty fine indeed!
we have cooked chicken like this before, always awesome
Great idea to use the skewer like the turkey hanger. I've seen alot of folks use them 4 al Pastore taco meat too. Chicken looked great, I'm gonna try your recipe in my pbc.

Gonna do the same thing this weekend, thanks for the tips
Your welcome, thanks for watching!
Technical problems aside - good cook for sure. That chicken must have been so full of flavour :)
Good see your sun on a solid boat he look like he is happy with it. Sorry to see the last one sink. MW Fort Worth TX.
Yes me too! The other boat really scared me. Not made for what he was wanting to use it for. Glad it’s gone, but very excited over the new one!
That looks so good! Butter and hot sauce! Why did I not think of that? Love your videos!
Thanks, I appreciate it! Glad you enjoy the videos!
Russ, assuming you can reduce the amount of charcoal in the PBC for shorter cooks (which the company has assured me works fine), is portability the only reason for the PBj?

Don't tell my husband he's getting skewers for Xmas!!! LOL SHHHHH
Mums the word :) It's a good option for the pit barrel.
Lookin good Rus.... wow, only $70.00 difference in the full size and the Jr.. I guess the portability makes it worth it. Nice cook even with the tech difficulty.
Thanks Harold! Yeah, it's a handy little version that I plan on using a lot of site on trips to the islands, camping etc.
lol oh man I was so disappointed when that got cut right as you were elevating that chicken LOL! Darn it! Hey it turned out great anyway! PBC is on my list for someday. Great video as always, Rus!
Yeah, it couldn't have picked a worse time to cut out on me. Thanks Mike, I appreciate you checking it out!
Oh wow that chicken looks fantastic Rus, love watching these methods of cooking. Nicely done my friend.
Nice one Russ. Top little smoker, that
Hey Russ, as you know by now I'm a new subscriber and love your videos!! I have researched smokers that fit my budget and will be buying a full-size PBC.

Man Russ that Chicken turned out great! Love that recipe. I had a good first time with my Jr this past weekend too.
Thanks Adam! You will have to smoke one of these up. I love the Buffalo flavors on chicken. Glad you got to fire yours up! Very handy pit, and so easy to run.
I'm in love with this video. My favorite chicken flavor. This rocks. Great video, Rus. YUM
Thanks Russ! Mine too brother! I've loved Buffalo Chicken wings from the first time I ever bit into one!
Looks awesome thanks keep up the great videos have a good night and a safe week.
Thanks, I appreciate it, and you too!
Great video as usual Rus. I'd love to see you do baby backs on the Pit Barrell jr. I tend to make three racks for the family and am wondering how this compares to my egg (other than obviously being way more portable).
An amazing looking chicken. Awesome results.
Thanks Dwayne, I appreciate it!
Another great cook !!! Love it.
Thanks Glen, I appreciate it!
cool grill the Junior
i have an UDS it´s similar to the PitBarrels Cookers
i like to smoke and cold smoke with him
Barrel smokers do really well. I especially like the little one so I can throw it in the truck easily when going on a camping trip, day trip, fishing etc.
These videos are really good
Thank you, I appreciate that! :)
Damn we just had a bad ass Thanksgiving with two Turkeys one baked and one fried
Is it the same cook time for a rack of ribs,as on a grill or other smokers,about 3 hours? I'm going to have to see about getting me 1 of those pit barrels,thanks!
Good job I usually add some honey to my Buffalo sauce it gives it a nice flavor
Thanks, I appreciate it! Honey sounds good!
Your slaying me Rus, your slaying me bud......yum...
Great recipe can't wait to try it
Good stuff! Enjoy and thanks for watching!
With the pbc's can you shut the air down when you are done to preserve any unburnt charcoal? Charcoal is not cheap.
They really don't hold much charcoal, but I suppose you could close the bottom vent to restrict the air. I don't do that because once you set the lower vent to your elevation, your suppose to just leave it there. The JR. took one half of the smallest bag that Kingsford charcoal makes, so like I said, they don't use a lot of charcoal.
Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine oh ok. It looked rather large in the video. Thanks for the help and the info! Great stuff:).
Good video Rus!
Russ how easy is it to kill the fire after your cook on a pit barrel do you just close the bottom vent and it kills the 🔥. Awesome video
I guess you could do that, but no more charcoal than either one of these use, I just normally let it burn out, and dump it the next day. The Jr. only took one half of the small bag of Kingsford charcoal briquettes
Good looking yard bird
Peace! I’m going to make this today 12/24 thanks for the idea and video chef👍🏾
It turned out perfect!!!!
Please tell me where I can smoked mullet in or around Biloxi? Ill Patron you!!!
I haven't found a place in Biloxi that smokes them. Most people do it themselves like I do.
Great looking chicken Rus thanks for sharing.
Thanks Chef Johnny! I appreciate it!
Looks fantastic. Pit barrel question? They call it a cooker, the chunks of wood and you call it smoked chicken. Names aside, what is the flavor profile with this cooker? More charcoal taste like say maybe a charcoal grill or spit, or more smokey like a wood smoker vertical or offset? I've cooked chicken on an open spit with charcoal/wood, and chicken in a smoker with wood/charcoal and they don't taste the same at all. It's all delicious!! But just wondering if I got one what it'd be like?
I would say more like using a Weber Grill, and adding wood chunks to the charcoal. Nice smoke flavor, but it could never compete with a wood burning offset. None of them can. But that's my opinion. Just keeping it real here. The beauty of this cooker, is the hanging method with can allow you to cook a lot of racks of ribs at the same time. The larger can do 8 and the smaller can do 6 racks. You will be hard pressed to find any smoker/cooker in this price range that can do that ;)
Abom79 brought me here, I love the videos, can't wait to try out some of the recipes!
Good job brother wow
Thanks
Ballistic BBQ/Troy! Nice!
love your videos!
Perfect🤚
I like the size of that smoker.
Very handy little smoker
Perfect Trifecta.

Either pit fits in a small area, so if your doing a brisket, I would go with the larger model
Love the chicken keep doing what you doing
Thank you!
Man that looks delicious!!!
Yum yum!!!
How long does it take to smoke a jive turkey?
I've been thinking of getting those skewers for hanging steaks, do you think that would work? Love your videos, even the ones without the Pit Barrel ;)
I normally sear my steaks over hot coals, but you can hang anything you want with these skewers. Lot of uses for them. Thanks, glad you enjoy the videos
A man after my own heart.
I was sure that the "technical difficulties" would be that you dropped the bird; then had to edit out the cussin' and punting it across the road part. I'm glad that I was wrong.

Tasty looking as always my friend
Thank you Scott, I sure appreciate it!
Russ did you do drop that chicken on the coils? It looked good.
No, it was well above the coals, but with the PBC, it would have done fine a few inches above the coals. Thanks, I appreciate you watching!
Russ, what was the total cook time for the whole chicken
I didn't really pay attention to the time. I went by internal temperature of the chicken. I think it was around 2 to 2.5 hours
got it thank you
Hey Russ , I experienced mold in my pit barrel as Well. Any tips on how 2 clean it or do I need 2 purchase another one ????
Start by cleaning all the mold off with a cleaner and old rags, then load the fire box and fire it up and let it burn until it burns out. That will take care of it.
Thanks, what type of cleaner safe for inside the barrel ??
water and mild detergent. Make sure to rinse well and dry out
Thank yuou , Russ.
0:30 which video is this from? it kind of looks like a pork collar but I can't find the video.
It's a boneless pork butt I did on a rotisserie in a kamado cooker. Here is the video. th-cam.com/video/UHn__vjme_g/w-d-xo.html
@@SmokyRibsBBQ Thanks a lot!
You’re welcome
Rus, can you smoke mullet on the Pit Barrel Jr? I've been looking for videos on mullet and the PBJ but can't find any...
I personally wouldn't smoke mullet on a PBC. It runs a bit to hot for my preference for smoking mullet. I like to smoke them in the 225°F range for around 3 hours on indirect heat. There are better options when it comes to smoking mullet.
Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine - Ok thank you.
Is food your favorite ?
so how long did you cook it for ? was it ready after an hour
fire storm always go by internal food temp, prob somewhere around 3 hours
No, it took about an hour and 45 minutes, and she was perfect. I should have mentioned it. Thanks for watching!
Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine interesting that is pretty quick I have only used the larger barrel and whole chickens always take around 2 1/2 - 3 hours
This was only a 4 pound chicken. I've done a whole brisket in 5.5 hours. Watch the video. Everything I cook tends to cook faster on the Pit Barrel Cooker. I do ribs in 3.5 hours and it normally takes 4.5 on any of my other smokers, and that is because this does tend to run above the typical "low & Slow" temps that we normally run our other smokers at.
This one would have fell apart at 3 hours. I always start probing after the initial hour on chicken to get a feel where I'm at.
Corrupt footage is my middle name...bleh...That be some yummy lookin chicken right ch'ere!
Yeah, I hate when that happens, but part of making videos. It's about time for me to replace all of my SD cards. Not sure if it was the camera acting up or the card. Hopefully just the card. Thanks Booger!
👏👏👏👍👍👍
How much is the PBC Jr?
Here is a direct link to the Jr. I think this price includes shipping. www.pitbarrelcooker.com/product/14-pit-barrel-junior/
Can you fit a turkey in the junior?
You could fit a smaller turkey in. Probably up to 12 pounds
What the tech difficulty that the bird really fell apart back onto the coals?
Nope, not even close. The bird turned out fantastic. Tech difficulty is exactly what it says. One of my main cameras has recently decided to stop recording right in the middle of shooting a clip. My son normally helps me shoot and catches it, but I had to shoot this one alone, and only knew what happened after I started editing, but I had way to much work into this video to just scrap it.
Lovely. .sub you now...great channel
Turkey sure sticks to your mind don't it..
+vern linkletter Yep it sure does 🦃
Oh man that stinks, but it looked really good

My ears perk up like a dog! My profession is a dj (all stereotypes aside yes Hip-Hop and R&B...none of this mumble new age crap but ll cool j, new edition, return of the Mack style) and I WILL find a way to play this song in an event, party, bar scene lol! As long as I have the rights to of course lol! But as always good vid like most (until I see mayo incorporated yuckkkkk)
I can send you the file. That would be cool!
Smoky Ribs BBQ & Southern Cuisine yes please. Not really sure how this works but do I just leave my email here? I’ve done food contests and food truck rally’s and I think this would fit perfectly!
You can message me on my website or my Smoky Ribs facebook page. My website is www.smokyribs.com

939. GUESS.
Looks great , but the name buffalo style is only associated with Franks red hot. Hey i dont make the rules!
Oh well, maybe they should try Crystal instead lol ;)
oh ive had crystal many times, its very good as well. Just not as much tang as franks, cheers! Plus the nostalgia is delicious.
Lost credibility when u said the cover was great quality . Mine lasted less then a month before all the stitching ripped open
I've had the large one for over 4 months, still in great shape. So you know, this is an upgrade from their first covers that they offered. I know the people at PBC, and I'm sure they will replace your cover if it didn't last any longer than that.
