Weekend smoking
Almost 5 hours later, here's what we've got. Freshly mopped, which is why it's shiny. Has held temp a lot better than the last time, thanks partly to the ash grate and partly to using the minion method to set up my charcoal burning as well. I'm still going through charcoal a little faster... -
Pork butt- Trim Fat Or Not?
My first one I did untrimmed, there wasn't a whole lot of fat left when it was done. This weekend I'm trying one trimmed and untrimmed, and see which I like better. Untrimmed obviously you have less fat to pick out and pitch. I've seen some recipes that call for the fat cap to be added to... -
Weekend smoking
Here we've got some pictures of the butts rubbed up, on the smoker (they're a little cramped at the moment, hoping they'll shrink a little as they cook), a picture of the smoker and it's nifty new 'not filled with water and fogged up' thermometer, and a shot of the legs I added to the charcoal bowl. -
Friday Smoke
Indeed, that is some tasty looking pork. I hope mine turn out that well. -
Weekend smoking
Tomorrow I've got a pair of pork butts going on the smoker. For a little variety and experimentation, one is trimmed, one is untrimmed. Untrimmed is getting brined, salt, molasses, bourbon, water. Rub is one I stole from Alton Brown. This is the recipe I used last time I made pulled pork... -
Makin Bacon
A) Holy crap, look at all that bacon. B) Holy crap, look at the size of that smoker! I am totally jealous. -
Charbroil h2o suggestions?
That is exactly what I'm looking for, at least for the top. I think I'm going to have to fabricate something for the bottom, which means it's gonna wait until winter when I'm stuck inside. Pineywoods, I like the way you think =P- dasgrinch

Charbroil h2o suggestions?
I have seen that site, that's kind of what inspired me to keep looking. While I do love to throw stuff together to make things work, I was trying to avoid just drilling random holes in. Weber's site does not sell the vent dampers by themselves that I could find, I could probably call them...- dasgrinch

Charbroil h2o suggestions?
The lid is a fairly tight fit, and smoke will come out of any opening it can. When I take pictures you'll be able to see where it comes out of the charcoal door, and unevenly around the lid where it's not quite round. The only 'intake' I have is the fact that the bottom has no bottom. The...- dasgrinch

Charbroil h2o suggestions?
I've added a real thermometer to the thing. I've also added some feet to the bottom bowl so I can rest it on the ground for easier charcoal access. I've come across two other mods that people seem to recommend for the ECBs, but I have some questions. The first is a grate to hold the...- dasgrinch

Thanks for the welcome! I'm in LaGrange, it's a great place to live if you like driving past corn fields. -
Greetings from Ohio
Hey there folks. I recently obtained a Charbroil H2O smoker someone gave up on (It had been used once). I've used it once myself, and I sympathize with the previous owner. Loading charcoal in with tongs, poor temperature control, the little door doesn't seal, etc. Despite the 12 hours of...
