First Butt/Smoke - Wood catching on fire - Please help
Hi All, I have an ECB gas propane smoker. I'm doing my first butt today. I wrapped 3 chunks of hickory in foil and placed them on the lava rocks. After about 30 minutes, I noticed the temp was too low. I turned it up and noticed that it kept going up. The wood chunks caught on fire. I sprayed... -
PP - Missing out with no finishing sauce?
Wow! Thanks for all of the suggestions everyone! I think I'm going go try and use the natural juices and then makeup 2 sauces on the side. Question, I don't have an extra rack for a drip pan in my smoker. There's a water pan below the cooking grates. Can I just put a pan on top of the water pan... -

New to Smoking - ECB vs ECB w/ Propane
Thanks for all of the feedback everyone. I may be leaning towards the propane partly because I am able to get it for $50 now (I think they're $150+ new). Also, with school I won't have as much time to watch over it as I'll be studying so much so convenience may win out here. The one question I...- brandonb

New to Smoking - ECB vs ECB w/ Propane
Hi everyone, I'm a huge BBQ fan and have decided it's time to get serious and start smoking. I'm about to start grad school ($$$) so my budget is pretty low. I'm debating between the $39 ECB from Home Depot or a $50-60 ECB gas smoker (http://www.amazon.com/Brinkmann-Smok...9742601&sr=8-5) I...- brandonb
