    ECB charcoal to propane conversion

    There is plenty of room for heat to pass right by the water pan and heat the smoker. The water itself will boil at a lower temp(212*) but the steam and hot air will heat the smoker as hot as you regulate the temp to. Now the water pan and hot water will help the smoker recover temp after it...

    ECB charcoal to propane conversion

    I DO still use the water pan. Infact the smoker itself isn't setup any differnetly than it would normally be. the whole smoker is just setting atop a Gas cooker. Instead of charcoal in the fire pan I use lava rocks, of course as you can see from above pics there are many holes driled into the...

    ECB charcoal to propane conversion

    I was doing an over night brisket smoke with the flame pretty low and and I feel asleep. When I woke up the flame had been out long enough for my brisket to go from a temp of 165 all the way back down to 137. I was like NNNNOOOOO!!! but I cranked her back up and set the smoker temp to like...

    Summer BBQ large group 3-2-1 RIBS

    I would say reheating on the grill would probably work great (better than a microwave.) If i was doing it I would probably go ahead and finish the 3-2-1 method completely ( which I typically dont foil but thats personel preference) so the ribs are only in need of reheating. Thats just my...

    ECB charcoal to propane conversion

    I think youll enjoy the outcome. With my rig I smoked a brisket for 18hrs at 225* and had fuel to spare. It works great. What I ended up doing is filling my fire pan with Lava rocks, and placing the firepan directly over the flame(my fire pan has been drilled full of holes.) the lava rocks...

    Smoke a Rare Beef Roast

    I wouldn't do that... "Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one bird. " "The reason newborn babies cry is because they know they have just entered a world with Chuck Norris. " "If you see Chuck Norris fighting a bear, don't help Chuck Norris, help the bear. " "M.C. Hammer learned the hard...

    Care of Cast Iron Grills

    So the smoker doesn't get hot enough to kill the bacteria on the grill but it does get hot enough to kill the harmful bacteria in chicken? Doesn't make sense to me. I simply brush and oil... But to each there own. If we all had the same ideas the world would be boring and no new fattie reciepes...

    Quick finishing of Spares on the grill

    I am not sure that a grill could make these 100% smoked spares any better. I used the grill for ribs before I learned how to smoke, but since I have had my smoker going the grill has hardly beeen touched, its been at least a year!

    I have got about a 3lb goat roast. I have no experience with goat and am going to Q it this weekend. Its a rib roast. My question is should ICook this thing like I would Prime Rib and cook to like 140* or should I let it go clear on up to like 185* to slice or even 195* to slice? I figure I...

    Stuffed Calf Liver

    I used to hate liver, but I used to have this old lady that worked for me, she was from mexico, she didn't speak english very well at all. Some times I would give her tomatoes and hot peppers from my garden and she would make me a traditional mexican dish she called "igado" (spelling could be...

    Newbie from Missouri

    I don't have the Brinkman Gourmet, just the plain ole' El cheapo. So my fire pan looks like a water pan. This damn ECB has produced some amazing Q. I also have the Brinkman SnP but unless I am smoke a loto f items I typically stick with using the ECB as it doesn't take much coal to get hot...

    Newbie from Missouri

    This is a picture of the fire pan from my ECB. The holes bring plenty of air flow and are more than big enough to let the ash escape. Works great to get more heat with less coal.
