    You need to get a thermometer. at the bottom side of Ideal is probably around 200. I think that's where mine hits on my thermometers. Check out my post about mods.

    what temp did you keep it at? Also I had 2 pavers covered in foil in the water bowl. I added a water bowl on the 2nd grate, it also caught the drippings.

    Who's doing a Turkey on their ECB for ThanksGiving?

    Turkey on at 6:30. It ended up being 16 lbs. Since I didn't know how my Ecb would do temp wise I got an early start. After 4 hours I put a thermometer in the deepest part of the beast. Hit 170. I kept the Ecb around 250-300° the whole time. Thing worked like a champ. Now I know it won't take...

    Height of Fire pan?

    anybody? do you ever get smoke rolling out of the bottom? Is this from wind or do I not have enough vent flow? I always have the top vent wide open. bottom usually half. plus I have plenty of holes drilled around the pan.

    Who's doing a Turkey on their ECB for ThanksGiving?

    I would have went with a smaller turkey. But to get a fresh non frozen from my local butcher they start at 18 lbs and go up.  Is the middle rack the way to go? I thought it was best to use water with onions, oranges and whatever else cut up in it?

    Who's doing a Turkey on their ECB for ThanksGiving?

    My next issue might be the size of the bird. My meat guy said it will be 18-20 lbs. Have any of you smoked a large bird on your ECB? Will it fit?
