Help with a MOD for the gourmet/ecb

walking dude · May 4, 2008

yesterday i fought trying to keep temps up allday, with the wind......but now today..........fighting to keep em low.........i finally had to place the lid half on and half off..............

i have seen where folks have used summin like a weber control......the circle thingy.........looks like i will need to add one or two to mine, specially with summer coming up.........anyone know what they are called, so i can google it.............or know of a supply place...........this running up and down the stairs every 15 minutes to control heat for my ribs is wearing me out...........and i woke up with my back hurting as it is.......any help would be appreciated............

thankx in advance

Found this on www.virtualweberbullet.com ...........

[font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]In this case, the damper must be replaced. Order a WSM vent damper replacement kit from Weber at 800-446-1071. It consists of three dampers and fastening hardware: 1/4-20 x 5/8" truss head screws, 1/4" flat washers, and 1/4-20 inch acorn nuts.[/font]

Try calling that number and see what happens........

Hey, WD.....keep us posted on what you find out from Weber....I'm thinkin' that might just be a mod I want to make to my ecb loaner......

I have free reign on any and all mods to this little gem....too bad it will have to go back home eventually.....

Eric

so get your arse down here and pick up the gourmet in west desmoines/urbandale.............

pratice on the "LOANER"........hehehe.........and when you get it down, with "tweaks"............LOLOL.........then apply em to your NEW toy

earache_my_eye · May 4, 2008

That was part of my day's plan....but never heard back from them on the email I sent this morning......I did put the drill to the charcoal pan.....and added your damper control to the bottom.....oh and a few stray holes on the lid with a flimsy cover made from some flashing.....it's busy making some Iowa chops for me as we speak.....

walking dude · May 4, 2008

that sounds like you got it going......now you have to use it, to figure out the mods.........takes abit
