    Post A Picture of Your COMPLETED Mini-WSM Here ! (Mini Weber Smokey Mountain, MWSM)

    Completed not that long ago. Have had a few cooks on it and I am getting used to the performance. Overall I am very happy and the results have been great. Temps do sink when adding cold meat. Recovery time seemed to be much shorter when I switched from Kinsford blue to Royal Oak briquettes. They...

    My Mini build (pics)

    I'm finally done with my mini build. It was such a fun and inexpensive project and hopefully I'll get some good times and good BBQ out of it.

    Converting Electric ECB to Charcoal

    Solid Thinking George. I'll give that a shot. Better to modify as I go rather than make all of the mods and figure out I trashed the machine. I'll give it a run this weekend and update you on the progress.

    Converting Electric ECB to Charcoal

    Thanks for all of the input gentlemen. I believe I will proceed with the conversion. If nothing else it will help grow my fire maintenance/temp control skills. My biggest concern is airflow. I think I will seal the lid with either BGE felt or Gasket rope. I hope that the factory hole on the...

    Converting Electric ECB to Charcoal

    Hey guys, My Ol' Red electric brinky wont get up past 200 F. I just think the heating element is worn out. I have wanted a charcoal smoker for a while now, so I think I am going to convert it to charcoal. Has anybody done this or have any tips and photos?? I have found some dated threads on...
