    Is Kingsford blue still good?

    Thanks everyone, I’ll probablu be switching. I figured this was the case and it’s kind of sad because I grew up with KBB but if they ruined it there’s no sense in using it

    Pork Loin only 1/2 Done? Temp 130-160?

    I debated propane but went charcoal due to the reviews saying inconsistencies with propane

    Is Kingsford blue still good?

    That’s what I was afraid of. I see royal oak has briquettes now, I only used to ever see lump, so I might have to test that

    Is Kingsford blue still good?

    finally getting back into smoking as I inherited a 18” kettle plus bought an 18” wsm and I’m wondering if classic Kingsford is still good. They were decent a few years ago but a lot of recent reviews seem to say it’s bad now

    ECB is back!! Well ... sort of

    Seems about right. I personally was always a fan of doing a portable grill for the charcoal source. The reason I never did it was because if it didn’t work I’d just be out more money. I went WSM but my neighbor wanted my ECB. I told him the mods to do and he might try that method. I think I...

    Meat cutting board

    I will see if I can find out what one my roommate had. It was this huge white one with 1” sides to prevent spills

    Inherited a 17 year old WSM, only been used a handful of times but was kept uncovered outside...

    And others have said, clean, burn, and then maybe replace grates. We just inherited a 18” kettle since it didn’t sell at a garage sale, I think it needs new grates and that’s it. Given that the handles are wood it has to be almost as old as me

    ECB is back!! Well ... sort of

    Just checked and looks like 18.5 that’s a bummer I was hoping it was like full on ecb compatible

    ECB is back!! Well ... sort of

    Yeah I’m skeptical on their whole charcoal part design. My excitement is really around the fact that it’s about the same price as an ecb and similar initial design, so it gives options for those who wanted to mod an ECB to have a new unit to do it to

    ECB is back!! Well ... sort of

    https://www.ghpgroupinc.com/product-details/DGX376BCS-D.html It looks like dyno-glo came out with a new $55 smoker but it looks almost exactly like the ECB except with dampers and a proper charcoal grate. I mean personally I’m going WSM finally but I still think it’s cool

    WSM door question

    hi all, ecb owner that’s about to buy a WSM. How’s the door work on these exactly? Every demo models always been busted and the one thing I did like with the ECB was that the door was simple. Sadly the rest of ECB is a pain so I’m looking forward to set and forget

    Has the ECB Group died?

    I’ve been tempted to mod mine but I think sadly I’m just going WSM. The parts to mod them are just drying up. Lava pan is like $60 now. Smokey joes are $50 and then there’s still seal issues still. It’s just hard to dump like $100 into a solution thar might fail

    Anyone used bbq guru rib ring?

    just spotted this online today and I’m debating ordering it to go with my soon to be new WSM. Looks like it makes ribs simple to stack but I’m curious how it is exposed vs 3-2-1 method

    What should I do with my Brinkmann Smoke n Grill (EBC) once I buy a WSM?

    So I've decided to buy a WSM 18.5" (it's just the gf and I and the occasional friend gathering). However I first tested smokers with an EBC because $40 ($35 smoker and $5 thermometer) was cheaper than $300. That said I didn't use it at all last year because I hate babysitting that thing ever 20...

    Has anyone tried cornish hens in the smoker?

    I'm likely buying a WSM soon (I have an EBC but it needs to be babysat constantly which kinda killed me smoking food for a year). I've done plenty of quarters but was debating doing cornish hens. Has anyone tried it? Is it even worth the effort compared to regular chicken?

    WSM vs Cuisinart 18"

    Thanks that's kind of what I was thinking but wasn't sure as the Home Depot by me didn't have it. I figured WSM would end up worth the money but whenever you're about to drop a few hundred bucks I figured it's worth double checking

    WSM vs Cuisinart 18"

    Does anyone have any experience to know if the WSM is that much better than the Cuisinart 18" bullet smoker. I'm leaning towards a WSM but at double the price I'm just curious if anyone's use the cheaper alternative to know if it's that much worse or if Weber is still riding their name.

    Outers Hickory Smoker (little chief clone) what can I make in it?

    So we are having a garage sale at my grandmas to get rid of a bunch of stuff and i found an old outer's smoker in the back of one of her sheds. Before selling it, i'm curious what exactly could someone make in one of these? It looks like from searches it only gets up to around 165 degrees for...

    WSM 18 anything to upgrade at start?

    I started with a brinkmann EBC but I'm looking to upgrade to a WSM 18.5". Is there anything that needs upgrading immediately or is it good to go from the box. The EBC needed a couple things so I'm just trying to brace myself before dropping $300
