Important notes before using your Pit Barrel Cooker

Please follow the instructions carefully.
Keep children and pets away from the Pit Barrel Cooker while in use as the outside gets hot.
EVEN WHEN ON THE 3-POINT STAND, NEVER place The Pit Barrel® Cooker directly on any flammable surface such as a wood deck or dry grass.
NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, POUR LIGHTER FLUID ONTO HOT COALS IN THE BARREL.
There is no need to “season” your PBC. It features a high temp porcelain coated finish and is ready to use right out of the box.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Set up the Pit Barrel Cooker in an open area (outside!)
Remove Pit Barrel Stand from inside the barrel and place the Pit Barrel Cooker on top.
Remove the charcoal basket from the bottom of the barrel and place it on the ground.
Lighting with a chimney starter: Fill your charcoal basket level, remove 1/4 of them (40 briquets), and place in your chimney starter, light the chimney starter and let burn NO MORE THAN 12-15 MINUTES for elevations between sea level and 2000ft, all other elevations will let your coals burn for NO MORE THAN 20 MINUTES. Pour hot coals over the remaining coals in the coal basket and IMMEDIATELY begin cooking.
Lighting with lighter fluid: Fill your charcoal basket level and apply lighter fluid. Place the charcoal basket in your PBC, light the coals with the lid off, and let burn for NO MORE THAN 12-15 MINUTES for elevations between sea level and 2000 ft, all other elevations let your coals burn for NO MORE THAN 20 MINUTES. IMMEDIATELY begin cooking.
If hanging meat- remove the grill grate and place metal rods in pre-cut holes. Insert stainless steel hooks through the meat (refer to video demonstrations on our website for more info) and hang meat from metal rods inside the Pit Barrel Cooker, put the lid on, and let the meat cook to perfection.
NOTE: It never hurts to look in on your cook-in progress. It’s part of the fun of using the PBC and ensures the best results.
If grilling- remove metal rods and insert the grill grate, place meat on the grill grate, and grill as you would on a standard grill (Lid off).
To clean your PBC, wait until the barrel and coal basket have completely cooled and dump the remaining ash.
