ECB, first test burn questions
Two hours in. Pretty happy so far. Got a rack of baby backs on. I also added the charcoal grill from a smokey joe to my fire pan. Seems to have helped. Q View to follow.- seedubxj

ECB, first test burn questions
No real reason for 225 other than I want to learn how to settle in any any temp I want. I imagine it's a trial and error thing. Especially with the ECB.- seedubxj

Favorite beers
