    My ECB Blinged Out Mods/First Post

    I did build it, made all the mods, and used it three or four times.  It worked pretty good but the temp fluctuated quite a bit, I think I drilled too many holes in the fire pan.  I have since built a Mini WSM and love it. So, the ECB has been sitting in the corner getting no love.  I may have to...

    My first smoke on the Mini

    the mini was really easy to use.  It took me about 15 minutes or so to dial in 225 and once I did, it cruised right along for about 4 hours and I had to make a couple of adjustments, shake the ash of the coals and then close the damper a little.  I added coals around the 5-6 hour mark and was...
