    Masterbuilt Pro Dual Fuel Smoker - First Smokes with Q-View

    I am a relative newbie, started smoking on a ECB this summer, with the help of this forum I have learned a lot. I wanted to upgrade and not have to maintain the fuel so much, and I am on a budget, less than $200 for the smoker.  So after reading the forums and reviews here and seeing what I can...

    Brisket Flat Cut & Tri Tip in ECB for Labor Day Q-View

    The end results The brisket turned out nice, good smoke flavor and ring. A tad on the dry side but tender.  The Tri-Tip was ok, a little rare to my liking but my friend from California said to cook it medium rare. I cooked until it hit 145 on the probe. Then let it rest with the brisket for...

    Brisket Flat Cut & Tri Tip in ECB for Labor Day Q-View

    1:45pm Just about ready to put foil. Water Pan ran dry so I took a quick photo I will foil and put the try-tip in at 2PM. I only have one probe so I think I will put it in the tri-tip and put the foiled brisket on the lower rack.

    Brisket Flat Cut & Tri Tip in ECB for Labor Day Q-View

    Making my second Brisket today, flat cut. I trimmed some of the fat, put a low sodium rub on.  My beautiful wife has a heart condition and has to limit her sodium so finding a good low sodium rub is a huge plus for us.  I found this one at Kroger their Private Selection line.  It is pretty good...

    ECB, first test burn questions

    How much water was in the water pan?  I  found lowering and raising the water level effects the water temp in my ECB. For me 1/4 full water pan I can get temps above 250. to keep it 200-225 I just fill the pan an inch or two. Wind also has an effect on my ECB.

    First Brisket on ECB

    Yes it is just the flat cut, ECB are a little small for full packer.  After doing some reading I think I will trim some of the fat, let it warm up a little before putting it on the smoker.
