    Welcome to SMF! I hope you didn't do anything to desecrate the poor ECB?  We have both an ECB group and a New England group. Open to anyone if you are interested? Lots of great ideas for recipes and smoker mods all over the site.

    General Smokehouse Questions

    That makes sense and I will surely look into that.  I saw the different constructions using dowels and I think I will use a similar system to help support the racks, depending on what I use.  In looking through a few websites, they seem to be basically 3 or 4 different size configurations for...

    General Smokehouse Questions

    I am considering building a small smokehouse in the backyard. I have a nice spot for it and I think it will look great there and get me away from the house. The smoke from my ECB gets towards the house sometimes and we get smoke inside. Not that it bothers me, of course.  My question related to...

    Why dry rub? Why not just season the pulled pork after it's cooked?

    Well if you guys want to find out which is the best, bring your butts on over my house, smoke them up and I will eat them and let you know.  Venture- I'm with you on this one! I'm willing to try them all! For the good of SMF!

    New to smoking. Noob question about loading smoker

    I'm in another conversation in the ECB group right now and the other fellow @TrikkyP   has the gourmet as well. I will bring him down to this thread as he is a seasoned user and I'm sure he can help you out.

    Gasket Info

    I think 220-240 is ok for most smokes anyway. Lot's of discussion on that all the time, but I usually run my smoker 230-260 and my food tastes fantastic and I've never gotten "bad" que out of it. I think you will find that sealing the gap around the lid and adding a vent to the top will allow...

    New to smoking. Noob question about loading smoker

    Can you post a pic of your smoker? Sounds like you have the Brinkmann Gourmet clone?  Also go over to roll-call and tell us about yourself. Don't forget to add your location to your profile so we know where in the world you are. A lot of answers are different based on where you live.

    Meatloaves

    Look great doc. I'm making 3 meatloafs on Thursday afternoon. Mixing in a pound of hot JD Sausage into the three of them. Looking good. Have you used the Q-matz before? I have one but I haven't tried it yet.  Nice plated. Good Smoke penetration. What did you have for a side? I'm going to fire...

    hi there you all

    Hey Steve, Sure. Maverick makes thermometers that can be used in grills. Depending on the size of the hole in your Santa Fe, you can remove the old one and put in the new one or mount the new one next to the old one. Always boil test it before mounting it so that you have a baseline for the...

    First serious smoke with Charbroil Vertical Electric Smoker, ribs

    Hey JDiver,  Sometime ya gotta give yourself a bump. Looks like you are pointed in the right direction. I can't help you with your specific smoker, but I have an electric stove at home. If I set the oven at 350 and insert the grill probe into the oven, the oven will read as high as 380 when the...

    Alright, time to give me some ideas

    I have done many meatloafs on the smoker and they come out awesome. I do them right in the aluminum meatloaf pans. I cover the top with a couple of strips of bacon to keep the top from drying out. Make up a couple helpings of smoked mac n cheese to go with it and it will be fantastic!
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
