Pit Barrel Cooker Co. PBX Drum Smoker

This design creates a consistent convection environment inside the drum, which eliminates the need to constantly rotate your meat. It ensures even heat distribution, resulting in uniform cooking without requiring manual intervention.

While it excels at smoking, the PBX is versatile enough for both tasks. You can use the included grill grate for traditional direct-heat grilling or utilize the hanging method for smoking large cuts of meat.

As the largest porcelain-coated drum cooker available, it is designed for high-volume cooking. It can easily handle multiple racks of ribs, several pork butts, full briskets, or multiple whole turkeys simultaneously.

The single-wall design is highly efficient for charcoal consumption, though it is more sensitive to extreme ambient temperatures than insulated cookers. For most climates, the porcelain coating provides sufficient heat retention to maintain steady temperatures throughout the cook.

The PBX is designed for simplicity, requiring minimal setup before your first cook. Because it relies on a straightforward charcoal basket and airflow system, it is very approachable for beginners while offering the capacity experienced pitmasters require.

The package is truly all-inclusive, containing the porcelain-coated drum, a 3-point stand, stainless steel hooks, hanging rods, a charcoal basket, a standard grill grate, a hook remover, and two Pit Rubs.
