    OK, the transformation is complete. Gasket is on. I used a more flexible high temp glue as the glue that it came with got some bad press from some of our fellow members. Hopefully I can do a test burn tomorrow night. I'm getting jacked!

    9 Pound Pork Shoulder for Saturday feast

    Put playbox sand in the water pan? Fill it up and cover with foil? New to me but its sounds like it would help hold temp.

    Hey Hardwater, What kind of charcoal are you using. You getting good results from your mods. I think I'm looking at a 13 hour smoke.

    9 Pound Pork Shoulder for Saturday feast

    Got a 9 pounder for this Saturday. I was wondering how long of a total cook time it might be and how much apple wood  smoke I should put on it during that time. I am using a ECB with mods and chunk charcoal. I'm thinking of a 230-250 cooking temp.

    The dampers did not flatten perfectly to match the flatness of the bottom of the pan. I think a little air will get through if I fully close  but I think most all of the time they will be a quarter open or so. Any thoughts. I am going to have to plug that dumb hole in the middle.

    Ok. New thermometer in the lid and one damper. Three dampers in the bottom pan. Things are going to plan. Now for the gasket. I put 3 inch bolts on the bottom dampers to extend out from the bottom of the pan for easy adjustment.

    Just picked up an 8 pound pork shoulder to put on late Friday to chow on with company Saturday afternoon. Also picked up some of the final parts I need for my ECB mods. All I need is a gasket for the lid. I have time to get these mods in for the long apple wood smoke and apple juice/cider spray...

    My ECB + Q

    Any tips for mods. I put on a real gauge and raised the charcoal pan. I'm adding three dampers on the bottom and one on the top. Did you have to flatten the bottom dampers a little bit? I also have a gasket for the lid with glue. Are you using the minion method. I have the same smoker as yours...
