    Anyone on here smoking anything this weekend.

    Emulsified some of Jeff's rub into the brine and then I'll coat them in rub before smoking. Pic is of my modified ECB. Question - should I oil the theighs before applying the rub?

    Rookie water pan confusion

    In a couple of weekends, the Brinkmann Smoke n Grill (ECB) should be modded and ready for it's first real cook. We'll probably do chicken and/or turkey breast over some apple chunks. What I can't figure out from reading and searching is what to put in the water pan. I've seen everything from...

    ECB is back!! Well ... sort of

    ...grill smoker. Probably just going to purchase a 2nd expert grill smoker for spare parts and experimentation. Last picture is the lid of the ECB. Both units have the same lack of air flow around the charcoal pan. As well as not being air tight above the charcoal pan. I guess i need to move...

    ECB is back!! Well ... sort of

    It has a very good price point and may be a terrific source for ECB replacement parts. However I didn't really see the dimensions. Is it a 14", 18" or 22"? It's definitely worth looking into a little more closely just not for the lower section. Chris

    Hello from the Detroit Suburbs

    Ive been lurking for awhile. Just threw together my first modified ECB with a smokey joy as the charcoal pan. Prior to this I had only smoked on a larger level with a southern pride, and homemade smokers made out of reused 500 and 1000 gallon Propane tanks (I didnt build them).

    New to the SMF.

    Timing is everything... First winter smoke (ever) for me is tomorrow. Doing the buttermilk brined turkey thighs using Jeffs rub on my modified ECB -brinkman. Anyway, like you I was looking to see if there was any info on time adjustments for smoking in 10-20 degree weather. Normally I'd guess...

    New ECB mods for cold smoking

    Here is a cheap way to get the ham hanging and the cold smoke going. Got the rain or snow falling on the ECB? No problemo! Use your chimney starter and a bucket or extra Weber lid for an umbrella.. keeping that top vent nice and dry. I use a stacked ECB and ECM combo. Electric Masterbuilt...

    Turkey @325-350 risk dry breast?

    I have a Master Forge Bullet, ECB basically, so I don't think I have the room to spatchcock. In the past I stood the bird up with a Foster can, which I plan to do again this year. But I've only done one, so I want to make sure to get it right.

    Good to see some ECB usage :D Nice job! Looks like you don't have a vent on top.. You did the lid sealing mod and the legs on the outside mod... No vent?

    ECB is back!! Well ... sort of

    I picked up an Expert Grill charcoal water smoker at Wal-Mart for $25. I also have an ECB. I have not completely checked compatibility yet. However, the lid with the much better thermometer fits perfectly. Also the legs attach to the outside and it had a grate for the charcoal pan. I plan to...

    I found the link to the post about the lid seal, it was actually on this site. It is called the Redneck Tie! https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/first-butt-ever-ecb-marathon-smoke.136800/

    Neglected but not forgotten ECB

    Poor ECB , I bought the ECB (El Cheapo Brinkmann) some fresh charcoals and Apple chunks today. I bought a nice thick English cut Beef roast so the ECB can get some all day winter action Saturday. Should be great fun in the 10 ,inches of fresh snow and temps in the teens. I'm thinking this...

    Cold Smoking on the MWSM?

    I'm putting together a MWSM as an upgrade to the ECB that got me hooked on smoking this summer. Something larger is in the future. Anyway, I want to smoke some cheese. Has anyone cold smoked in the WSM, and do you have any hints or cautions? Thanks,

    ECB is back!! Well ... sort of

    ...for the charcoal source. The reason I never did it was because if it didn’t work I’d just be out more money. I went WSM but my neighbor wanted my ECB. I told him the mods to do and he might try that method. I think I would have actually tried the mods had brinkmann not folded but I got mine...

    Smoking Newb, Risking Family Christmas

    ...over the years, but never beef. I have two 6lb eye of round roasts that I am smoking for a family Christmas tomorrow. My smoker is just an ECB that I picked up for free on the side of the road, which I have made modifications to, and can maintain a pretty consistent temp of 225 with. Because...

    Rookie water pan confusion

    Isn't the ECB designed as a "water smoker", if so unless you make major design change with your mods, I am guess it would still need to be "water smoker" In other style of smokers, where water pan is mainly intended for adding moisture, you will see folks use sand, etc. as a heat sink, just to...

    Hello

    Back...hadn't been back on here in 3 yrs! Update: So since I've bought my first smoker (ECB), I quickly upgraded to the WSM, and have done pretty well with it! I have done just about everything on it, and am now transitioning over to a stick burner...which I cant wait to use! I am now using an...
