...not the place to start. A little more reading got me to thinking about a whole new world of smoking meats and sausages I never thought I could do myself. Very soon after that I decided my ECB just wasn't going to cut it. This place has been spending my money and expanding my aspirations ever...
It appears to me from the diameter of the ECB that a 55 gal steel drum might be right diameter to sit on there.
If it is, I'd cut a drum to reduce the height and roll with it.
...ubiquitous Brinkmann Gourmet smokers sans water pan and lower food grate, especially for skin-on chicken. One person that did this said for him, ECB stood for Excellent Chicken Broiler.
In any event this technique no matter what style of cooker, fits what Steven Raichlen defines as Modified...
...great depression era who was familiar with ole country smoke houses. As a teenager I bought my first smoker. It was an El Cheapo Brinkman aka ECB! On my first smoke my father told me to go out into the surrounding woods and cut a small hickory sapling down and put a few sticks into the...
...be something like this
1- Wood
2- Charcoal with wood chunks
3- Pellet Grill/Smoker
4- Propane with amazen smoker and pellets
5 The old electric ECB with chips
Probably between 3 and 4 would be a modified MES using an amazen and pellets
That being my ranking the oven in the house doesn't...
Check out some of the old posts about "ECB" or El Cheapo Brinkmann. These old classic "bullet smokers" are how I discovered this forum years ago.
That hasn't been a very active section of the forum lately, but they're basically a Weber Smokey Mountain for those who can't afford a Weber...
I threw a 6lb brisket (after trimming the fat), on the ECB morning at 5AM. I liberally salted it with coarse salt yesterday, then rubbed down with 2tbsp coarse black pepper, tbsp sugar, tsp garlic, tsp ancho chili powder and a tsp of chipotle chili powder. I followed a recipe for the rub, but I...
Sounds like a plan. 203 should be fine but all briskets are different. Just be sure it's probe tender all over. And at least a 1 hr rest. The longer the better for those juices to settle in !
.... I have a 14 " WSM .
They have a group dedicated to that smoker ( I think that's a Brinkman )
May help you for next time , but might find something in there for today .

As a first time smoker, long time lover, I woke up at 4AM today, and threw some B&B lump charcoal on my modded ECB and threw my coal chimney on the grill half filled with more coal. Once the coals ashed over,I dumped them in the loaded coal pan and threw about 4-5 pieces of maple on the coals...
...nd 250, I'll be good to go. Second smoke went much better, followed your tip to leave the stack open and use the damper on the firebox for temp control. My old ECB worked better with briquettes, this one seems to like lump much better - the higher BTU's needed to heat everything make a...
Seems like I recall there was an ECB mod forum, but I couldn't find it, so here I am.
A couple of years ago, I modded (mod-ded???) a bullet smoker a couple of years ago...
...but I got frustrated with it, walked away for a couple of years, and recently purchased a propane smoker (with which...
