ECB SmokeNChill mods and pics
Well, not being really concerned by looks and having a shop with lots of screws/nuts/washers, I found a quick fix. Apologize for my pic problem. Having trouble with PhotoBucket.- deanoaz

ECB SmokeNChill mods and pics
Well, I've had a failed mod fix. That rope adhesive I smeared over my original damper install, just keeps sloughing off, so I am going to have to find another way to seal the old holes. Any ideas? I don't have access to a lot of the materials some of you seem to have available, so readily...- deanoaz

ECB and the Minon method
Forum responses that said to plan on 2 hours per pound seem to agree all around, so I guess that is my yardstick. Thanks for all the help!- deanoaz

ecb???
Doing the mod's made the ECB a great working smoker that has some decent heat control. I am totally sold on the Minion Method of starting charcoal chunks (don't use brickets as they leave too much ash). I bought a new paint can at Lowes, took a can opener to the bottom and use it as the form...- deanoaz

Brinkman
Okay, I am getting into smoking, but I am a little further along than you. I started with the Brinkmann ECB (the same you are considering). There are some threads on the smoking Internet about mod's you can do to make that unit a pretty good smoker (I did all of them). I started with it...- deanoaz

ECB and the Minon method
That I understand, but I am not yet a smoker with digital alarms that go off at 2:00 AM in my bedroom when the meat is done. If I go on the smoker at a specific time, I would like to at least know about when it might reach temperature, so t that I can plan a starting time. .- deanoaz

ECB and the Minon method
I am about to try a pork butt (6-8 pounds), with the assumption of 2 hours per pound. Any opinions on that?- deanoaz

ECB and the Minon method
I should give more detail on my wood chunk packets. I take the wood CHUNKS and split them down into pieces that are bigger than wood chips, but smaller than the large wood chunks (mini-chunks). I also soak them for 24 hours before using.- deanoaz

ECB and the Minon method
Bill, on another forum today, I read how it did no good to wet smoke wood, because wood does not absorb water.....??? I don't really believe that and have had good success with wet wood in the aluminum packets. If I had any caution on them is that it might take longer to get those chunks to...- deanoaz

ECB SmokeNChill mods and pics
Just wanted to give you some feedback on a piece of my ECB experience. I did all the things you did, but had to modify a mod I did that wasn't really that effective. I notice in your pictures that you have a good design on the damper on the lid. I originally tried a piece of flat sheet metal...- deanoaz

ECB and the Minon method
I will definitely stick with soaked smoker wood in aluminum foil. I did that and had some soaked wood chunks left over. I just threw them on the burning charcoal chunks and the temperature slammed clear up into the 300+ range. With the wrapped packages, they just slowly burn and smoke until...- deanoaz

ECB and the Minon method
Well, today I took on baby back ribs and BBQ beans. It was a total success, but I will qualify that by saying it took some effort. We ended up having wind today and it took some extra effort to get past the impact of that. Here was my roadmap: 1. Plan was to follow the 3-2-1 method of doing...- deanoaz

ECB and the Minon method
Well, Bill, here is my report on my brisket for this weekend and my daughters birthday. Setup was as follows: - I did all the published mod's to the ECM (thermometer in lid, outside legs, firebox grate, flue in lid and a wood stove gasket rope around the lid) and set it up on flat pavers for...- deanoaz
