    Here goes nothin' - 1st time smoking Chicken Quarters

    Sounds like you're really well-prepared!  Looking forward to the results.  Wish I could add something, but I've never done whole or quartered chicken on mine (they don't sell chicken that way in Japan ). Anyway, please post the Q-view ASAP!

    Smoke n' Grill lower grate

    Welcome to the group! I have a Brinkmann Smoke 'n' Grill (charcoal) that I've modded to use with charcoal, gas or electric.  I've only tried using the lower grate a few times, and wasn't very happy with the results, so I only use the top grate now. I'm just speculating, but if you really...

    Nice Day with the ECB

    Would love to see the photos, but I'd have to download them just to have a look.  Can you try editing your post and posting them as pictures, rather than attachments?  Look for the insert image" button.

    Won't get up past 150 degrees

    Fired up the ECB today and it was a bit slow getting up to temp.  I realized that I put cold water in the water pan, instead of the usual piping hot water.  That can be a factor.

    I'm still looking for a good tenderness-to-chew ratio.  Next time you smoke, post some q-view, OK?

    Water/no water ?

    I've been using my ECB for about a year, smoking 4-5 times per month.  I only put water in my water pan, and never anything else.  Rather than using the water as a temperature stabilizer, I use it to keep my meat moist, and also to get more smoke onto my meat. I live in an area where temps...

    Won't get up past 150 degrees

    Dave, This is a real stumper!  When I use charcoal, I lift the smoker off of the pan (see pic above), then start the coals.  Once they're ready to go, I lower the unit back over the coals.  With the lid on, without a water pan, if the fire is sufficiently hot, it takes less than two minutes to...

    Won't get up past 150 degrees

    Still a little confused about the charcoal.  When you say Royal Oak, do you mean Royal Oak lump?  There are also Royal Oak briquettes, which is what I'm more familiar with. Any chance you bought a Celsius thermometer? 120-150C equates to about 250-300 Fahrenheit, which would sound about right...

    Won't get up past 150 degrees

    Wow, that's a tough one.  Still sounds like it's an airflow problem.  An inch should be enough, and you've definitely got enough ventilation.  How much clearance is there between the ground and the bottom of the charcoal pan? You say there's a small amount of ash left in the pan, so the ash...

    ECB Success

    Did you smoke spares or baby backs?  I think 3-2-1 is for spare ribs, and 2-2-1 for BBs. My family and I prefer the meat to come off the bone smoothly.  My wife doesn:t even want to see the bones, in fact, so I came up with my own McRib: I personally haven't had much success with things like...

    Won't get up past 150 degrees

    Dave, Can you post a pic of your charcoal pan and the grate you added?  Does it look something like this, minus the legs? This grate is sitting a little high.  I've since lowered it so I could fit a little more charcoal in my ECB.
