It comes with a cook grate that sits on some bolts. You just take a rod out and put the grill in and put the rod back in and I let it heat up for a few and toss your burgers on. They came out pretty good.
Well last Friday I put in a 12 pound brisket and a 9 pound pork shoulder to smoke over night. I did get up a couple of times to check on the temp and about halfway through the cook I noticed that the temps were staying the same at about 140 and then dropped a little. I went out and checked on it and the juices that were running off started to put out the coals. I just cracked the lid for about 30 minutes and it kicked up the temps for the rest of the cook. I also smoked two fatties.
Now the sad part my wife's camera did something and I have only a few pictures from my phone.
Brisket after resting in the cooler for about 3 hours.
The interesting thing is I put them on at the same time and I pulled them one at a time to wrap and they were still only like 1 or 2 degrees apart from each other and they both finished at the same time.
I was using the iGrill thermometer to monitor them.
I have not smoked anything for a long time now. My daughter's graduation party is next weekend so I decided to buy a new smoker. I was going to build a UDS but could not find a drum. Well I had been researching different smokers and ordered a Pit Barrel Cooker on Thursday and it got here this afternoon. Went down and picked up 3 slabs of St.Louis ribs and smoked them with some apple wood and a chunk of mesquite. Came out pretty good could of went a little longer and could of used more smoke. Next week 14 pound packet and a shoulder will be smoked.

Cooked some burgers,bacon and some peppers on the smoker forgot to take pictures of the done bacon cause I ate it lol. Peppers are nice and dehydrated and has a good Smokey taste. I ate one that was not dehydrated all the way holy heck was it spicy. Gonna make some bomb ass salsa.
