    Who's doing a Turkey on their ECB for ThanksGiving?

    Just follow the instructions, I guess you'll have to add water, try bottled water to avoid the clorine taste from tap water.

    Who's doing a Turkey on their ECB for ThanksGiving?

    I use KB briquettes. I am planning for 54 unlit ones and about 12 lits. I hope to start low and reach 300-325 in the first half hr. I have use minion before but now I just use what they call "standard method" which is nothing but lit coals on top of unlit ones.

    Who's doing a Turkey on their ECB for ThanksGiving?

    I tried that one last year: total success. My family ask me to repeat it again but I this year I will not brine, just salt and fridge 24 hrs. How am I going to know if I don't try?

    I am also planning using my modified ECB. This year I am using both bottom and top crates. On the lower goes a 16 lbs, and on the top a 12 lbs. I need to run the smoker 325-350. Wish me luck!!

    The great water debate

    In my first attemp, I used so much water that when it reached the 212 and boiled, ran out the water pan falling on top of the red hot coals. Smoking food can be a lot of fun!!!
