top.
3. Remove charcoal basket from bottom of barrel and place on ground.
4. Lighting with a chimney starter: Fill your charcoal basket level, remove 1/4 of them
(40 briquets) and place in your chimney starter, light 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 remaining coals in coal basket and IMMEDIATELY begin cooking.
5. Lighting with lighter fluid: Fill your charcoal basket level and apply lighter fluid.

other elevations let your coals burn for NO MORE THAN 20 MINUTES.

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.

grill as you would on a standard grill (Lid off).
