New Smoker from Florida
Welcome! I am somewhat of a newbie myself and this is the place to find anything about smoking.....all are very helpful. They even have a reward for members who are the most helpful to others and most experienced; it is called the OTSB (Order of the Thin Blue Smoke). Since I have been on, I... -
ECB Tweeker
I was planning on waiting until I tried the mod's; I may have screwed up my temp. profile and don't want everyone to see my mistakes. Ha! Ha! I will take a picture of my UECB and add it to my post.- deanoaz

ECB Tweeker
My user name should be Tweeker. I have an ECB which has had all the mod's I could find, but I keep looking for improvements. 1. I put new aluminum angle legs on that I made 2" longer. I have the charcoal pan sitting on 3 round pavers, which put the top of the pan almost hitting the water...- deanoaz

Which A-MAZE-N product should I get?
From having searched for a smoke generator for my ECB, I came up with the tube AMNPS, In a response from Todd at Amaznproducts, the go-to guy on this forum is ChefRob. Todd says he has every product they have produced. Not saying he is the ONLY guy, but Todd says he has worked them all. Just...- deanoaz

Cold Smoke Questions
These posts filled in the gaps of my bacon smoking education. You're right, I have heard all methods of smoking, from purely cold to cold ramped up into a hot smoke to take it up to IT of 165 degrees, for full ready-to-eat. I guess I can see the logic in doing a long cold smoke, to develop the... -
The "wannabe" smoker in me
One thing that worked well for me was to have an old Weber in the backyard that had a damper on the lid, held on with a rivet. I just drilled the rivet out, used the damper to draw corresponding circles on the lid, then drilled them out and attached the damper with a bolt and wing nut. Makes... -
Cold Smoke Questions
Okay, I read all the forum posts about making bacon. But, what I keep running into is the term "cold smoked it for XX hours". I read other posts for gradually increasing the temp's from cold smoking to higher temp's. I am a newbie to this and don't really have an understanding of what cold... -
My ECB mods. Two ECB's in one.
Third ECB owner here. Did all the mods and am getting a steady 225 F, when I do it right. Threw out the charcoal grate I had made in the mods when I threw out the dead ashes. Took me a couple of times to figure out what was wrong. Back in good shape.- deanoaz

Bone Sucking Sauce
I just did a pork butt yesterday for sammies for the granddaughter and friends today. I had used Bone Suckin' Rub in combo with apple juice/brown sugar spray, both for an overnight soak and during the smoke. Everyone who tried it really loved it and couldn't quit sampling as the butt rested on...- deanoaz

ECB Modifications Effectiveness
Okay, I'm going to tell on myself & my age-deteriorating brain to explain how I discovered the effectiveness of an ECB mod. I put all of the mod's on that I found through the forum and they got my ECB perking right along at about 225+- a few degrees. Then a couple of smokes back I discovered...- deanoaz

ECB and the Minon method
I'm not sure how you are setting up your charcoal pan. Here is a picture of my pan, where I put the empty can in the middle, chunks around that, then my smoke packets on top of that (I think the canoes need to be on top of charcoal chunks). It shows what the charcoal pan looks like after...- deanoaz

Briquette or Natural Lump Charcoal
I don't know if this made a difference, but it is a thought. I have used newspaper most of the time, but being the cheapo that I am (my smoker is the ECB), I decided to tear up the bags the charcoal chunks came in, sprayed with vegetable spray, to light the chimney. I didn't seem to have as...- deanoaz

ECB and the Minon method
Not a crusty old-timer at this, but my ideas would include: 1. Holes in the top, in my opinion, should have a damper over them to close down when the temperature gets too high. On my ECB, I took a damper off my old Weber and put it on the top of the lid. My temp starts dropping when I close...- deanoaz

Need great cheesy, creamy mac and cheese recipe
Okay, tonight we tried a recipe for Mac & Cheese that I obtained from the website of SquibCooks. It follows, with a couple of corrections we made; 1. The amount of elbow macaroni was too little for the cheese mixture (2 cups), so we jumped it up to 1 1/2 pound package of it. That came out...- deanoaz
