    Venison Steaks/Chops

    Got a few Venison steaks/chops leftover in the freezer from last years harvest. Going to rub them up with Jeff's dry rub and throw them on the smoker this weekend. I like my beef on the med rare side so I'm thinking an internal temp in the 130-140 range? How long can I expect it to take to get...

    Pork Shoulder Question

    Went to the meat market today to buy a pork butt/shoulder to smoke for pulled pork on Sunday. Was surprised at the size of the thing. It's 11 lbs! At 1-1/2 hours per pound it'll take about 16 hours to cook it in the smoker. Does this sound right?

    First smoke with the ECB a success

    Last week I completed some basic mods to an ECB smoker. Today I did my first smoke. St.Louis style spare ribs using the 3-2-1 method. Very pleased with how it went. For the most part I was able to maintain temps in 225-250 range. Ribs have good flavor. The rub is much saltier than I prefer but...

    How often do you add charcoal to an ECB?

    Yes I have done the basic mods. The one thing I did not do was seal off the perimeter of the lid which seems to have a sizable gap for air to flow through, so perhaps that is the cause.

    How often do you add charcoal to an ECB?

    First timer here with an ECB. Did the initial seasoning burn today. Was maintaining a solid 250 when I left. Came back 3 hours later from running errands and all but one small lump had burned to ash and temp was down to 150. Did I not have enough charcoal in the pan or is 3 hours just too long...

    ECB Mods complte (with pics)

    Having trouble mounting legs to outside of smoker

    The legs that came with my smoker are designed to be mounted inside the unit and have a "notch" for the body to rest on. If I try to mount them on the outside, the unit cannot rest on the notch. Will the legs support the unit if the unit is not resting on the notches? I'm thinking maybe...
