I've never smoked any meat in my entire life but SWMBO and I enjoy pulled pork and ribs from a local gas station (Oklahoma Joe's BBQ) so thought of taking a shot at it. I started looking at cheap (,$400) offset cookers and started bookmarking sites with all the mods that I'd have to do. Seemed like a hassle, especially for a noob.
Then I came across an article for the Pit Barrel Cooker and it seems too good to be true. Set it/forget it, no mods, no dampers to screw with, not expensive, etc. According to a Forbes article it appears they sold about $2M worth of them this year and at $300 a shot that's a lot of cookers. I've yet to read anything really negative about this cooker. Is all the hype true?
Does anyone have one of these and is it as much of a hero as they say it is?
