ECB and the Minon method
The weekend I did brisket and pork shoulder together I cooked them Friday evening into the wee hours of Saturday morning. When they were done I did as Bomftdrum suggested--I double wrapped them in heavy duty foil and put them in a cooler with some old pillows on top of them in the cooler and...- bill r

ECB and the Minon method
My last one was an 8 pounder and it took about 16 hours. After 13 or 14 hours I pulled it off the smoker and put it in the oven to finish. When the alarm on my temp gauge went off I knew it was done.- bill r

ECB and the Minon method
That's about the direction I was leaning. I am estimating approximately 1 pound of meat for every 2 people (aka 1/2 pound of uncooked meat per person) I am hoping that 2 6 to 8 pound briskets and 2 6 to 8 pound pork shoulders will feed the masses.- bill r

ECB and the Minon method
Thanks for the clarification on the packets-- I tried it once with large chunks, but had issues with the packets being so big that they hung up against the bottom of the water pan.

In a couple of weeks I am going to be smoking brisket and pork shoulder for a group of guys from church. I think there will be about 55 to 60 of us. Does anyone have a suggestion for how many...- bill r

ECB, first test burn questions
I have an ECB as well that has the mods. Check out the pictues Flash has posted with his ECB settin on cinder blocks. I've tried it this way a couple of times now with good results. You can get really good airflow/temp control by covering or uncovering the holes in the blocks. Also using less...- bill r

To those that use Jeff's Rub recipe
So far I've only made Jeff's rub a couple of times, but I've just used a generic store brand. Is there a significant difference in flavor between generic and name brands? The generic has made a good tasting rub, but I have not tasted anything different for comparison's sake.- bill r

ECB and the Minon method
Glad to hear the brisket was a success! How did the minion method and the wood stove rope work out? I liked your idea of painting "targets" on the pavers to position your smoker legs on. I just took the legs off of my smoker to try out the cinder block stand that Flash used in his photos. I...- bill r
