All Nighter
Jim, Thanks for the information. I will try the Duraflame this weekend for my ribs. Would you recommend placing the hot coals all in the center of the pan or spread them around? Thank you again. Funk -
All Nighter
Noah, It is hard to control the air in the ECB. The charcoal pan is well ventilated and it sits in another pan with a single hole in the bottom. The hole is about two to three inches in diameter. A suggested that was given to me by an individual was to drill about 7 holes in the pan that the... -
All Nighter
Well my all nighter really started at 2am. I had two 7# butts and attempted to use the minion method. Loaded up the charcoal pan (I have an ECB) and spred 16 hot coals in the middle, hoping they would burn slowly and outward. I came back 30 minutes later and most of the coals were burning... -
First Shoulder.......Question
lang, how did the shoulders turn out? I am doing two 6.5# for the first time and I am trying to figure out the calculation for cooking. Funk -
First All Nighter
Thank you for all the help. I have one more questions. I was planning on getting a 8# however the butcher did not have any that size. He only had two 6.5 packaged together. How do I calculate the cook time? would it be based on 12# at 2hrs or would I still go by 6.5# for 2hrs even though... -
First All Nighter
If I put some holes in the outer pan, should I attach a piece of sheet metal as I did on the lid? -
Boston butt
It is great to find out all this information. I am going to boil some water right now and see how off my gauge is. My wife thinks I am crazy. -
First All Nighter
Monty I also can only by hickory by the bag. Thanks for the info. I will be sure to use smaller chunks first. The only modification that I made was drilling the holes in the lid for the smoke. The ECB that I have has a charcoal pan that already has several holes in it. The charcoal pan... -
First All Nighter
Rodger, Thanks for the info. The brinkman I have has a charcoal pan will holes in it and that sits into a pan with a whole in the bottom. I believe the old ECB just had the charcoal pan. I found a round cooking basket that fits perfectly in the charcoal pan. I flipped it over and it gives... -
First All Nighter
I am attempting my first all night smoke on Friday with a nice Butt with the bone. I have been reading about the minion method and I want to try it. I am going to be using chunks of Hickory as well as some Kingsford. What I read was to fill my pan with unlit charcoal and put around 16 hot... -
Boston butt
how did you know that it was off by 10 degrees? I am new to this and I was wondering because I purchased a gauge that I installed on my ECB and I was going to purchase a digital to see if there is a difference. Funk -
First Pok Shoulder
Bill, Thanks for the information regarding butt vs picnic. When I do my next one, i am planning on having it done about an hour or two before everything else is ready. I am planning on wrapping it in foil and placing it in the cool. If I let it sit a couple of hours, should I pull it first... -
First Pok Shoulder
Thanks for the response. It turned out pretty good and I am looking forward to doing the 8-10# for my sons birthday. I read about when the meat stays at one temperature for hours, and I am glad that I had a chance to experience it. I think that it stayed between 145-150 for three hours. What... -
First Pok Shoulder
Sorry for the confusion. It is a Picnic and what I wanted to know was should I have left the skin on instead of trimming it off. -
First Pok Shoulder
I am going to be doing my first pork shoulder in a few weeks, so I am going to practice with a 4# shoulder tomorrow ( I would rather practice on my wife instead of 35 people). I trimmed off the tough skin (I do not know the correct terminology) that was around the shoulder. I did leave a... -
First Ribs
I am new to the smoking game. I have a ECB smoker and I did some ribs last week. I had the temp at 220 and was expecting 5 to 6 hours the ribs would be done. After 2 1/2 hours the ribs were done. I had a full pan of water and I am not sure what happened. I install a good temperature gauge... -
Newbie
I love this site. I have a Brinkman ECB. I cooked a chicken last week and it was great. I wanted to cook ribs for Fathers Day and had a major problem. I put the ribs on at 8:45am and at 11am I used my Taylor meat thermometer and the ribs were at 165 degrees. I spent some extra money and...
