Cooked 4 chicken halves and a rack of spare ribs today. The chicken turned out excellent and the ribs were pretty good too. Almost burned the ribs up though🤣 Not bad for the first cook.
@@BeardedBBQ129 I have had about 7 different Weber kettles over the years. This is my second performer . I really like them. There are unlimited possibilities for them.
Thanks for the video. Academy Sports put them on a 4th of July sale for $199. I did not need another smoker, but could not pass up the price. I could not find any bad reviews on it and folks seem to love it, so I'm going to give it a try. No electronics, just old school smoking.
My wife tells me all the time that I don’t “need” another “smoker”. HAHA but when you find a great deal like that, it’s hard not to justify it! Thanks for watching and hope to hear your thoughts about the PBX!!
Same here Dale. I was only going into Academy to see how a particular firearm felt in my hands. Then I go pass the section with the bbq pits and seen the PBX on sale for $199 with an MSRP of $400. 😳 I absolutely could not pass on that deal. Mind you, I had a $100 gift card so my total came to $116.
Ill use the lighter fluids, but i do not cook until all the coals are burnt out no black coals on my weber Ill make a pile in one conner put on starter fluid light it let it burn off Then run a 10" fan on the charcoal Until i get them all glowing red none black, then ill use wet wood chips over the coals after they burn out ill add more. Yes it smokes a lot but it get real deep into the meats. Ill cook off to the other side of the coals and vent over the meats. I use the hot smoke to cook with more then the flames.
I just saw at Academy for 199 also. But my question is … is it too big? Mostly cook for my wife and I and when kids come to visit I’ll have a group but on reg basis it’s just 2 of us.
Hi there! Thanks for watching! If it’s normally just you and your wife the regular 18.5” PBC will do great! It also holds more than you realize, especially when hanging the meat! Have a great weekend and grill on!
Found one at academy for $150!! Heck of a deal
That’s a steal! Great find!!
Great deal! Looks great ! Thanks for sharing
Couldn’t pass it up!
Thanks for posting this! I just picked one up at the Buc ee’s in Waller for $199. They have one left. Thinking about getting it too..
That’s great! So glad you were able to get one! What are you gonna cook first?

Awesome! Hope you enjoy many more cooks on that beast!
I saw 3 of them at Academy today! Very good cooker for $199. I passed on this one because I just got a Weber Performer about 2 weeks ago.
How do you like the Weber? I have heard the quality is really good!

Sweet! Nice snag!
It’s no secret I have a grill/smoker addiction!
Thanks for the video.

@@BeardedBBQ129 I ordered the custom cover, hinged grate and ash pan. When those arrive and I cure it I will let you know how the first cook goes.
Can’t wait to hear!
June 17, 2024 and just checked, Academy has this unit on sale for $199.
Wow! That’s great, how long are they on sale for?
Just checked my local Academy. Still on sale. Going to grab one now!
Nice!!
The prices in the USA are crazy, I have literally just purchased this in the UK for £500 which was on offer!
I was really lucky to find this deal! Thanks for watching from across the pond!!! Tell me what you think of the pbx based on your experience!
Have the Jr, thinking about picking up a PBX
How do you like your jr? I’m thinking of getting one, they seem portable enough for some camping!
What a steal 😮
I was fortunate to find this one!
I would like to put those rebar in mine. How far apart are the holes for the rebar?
@19Silver67 Thanks for watching! The rebar are about 6 inches apart from each other on the PBX!
@BeardedBBQ129 thank you. Just got the rebar today. Perfect timing!
$199 damn, this is $750 where I live.
It was a lucky find for me! You never know where you might find a deal!

It’s worth every penny! Cheers to many cooks on your new PBX!
