    Good night with the ecb.

    Bored out the holes in the charcoal pan to get more air, worked great, held good temp, almost set it and forget it. Got two and a half hours at 240 with some apple wood to smoke a couple tenderloins, good stuff![/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]

    All rubbed down and ready for the smoker!

    Not as good as expected, great flavor, just not fall off the bone. I had trouble getting the temps up to 225 for the first 2+ hours. I did a couple of mods to the ecb and didn't do a test smoke. I eventually figured out my problem and after that the smoker rocked and held a solid 225. Looking...

    How many racks of ribs can fit?

    Can you fit three racks of ribs cut in half on a rib rack in the top of an ecb?

    Newbie here, some help with ECB mods please.

    Those ribs do look great, your figuring it out. I did ribs as my second cook, smoker hovered around 210 for an average over the entire smoke and they turned out great. I plan on rocking out this modified ecb for a couple years and then buying a weber smokey mountain. I hope by then smoking will...

    Rope gasket size and glue type?

    Cool, I ended up going with 1/2 inch rope and some sealant good to 2000 degrees from the local hardware store. Not sure when I will get another chance to smoke but will keep yall updated. Might do a tenderloin sunday.

    Lower dampener placement?

    I like your design, just don't know if I want legs on my smoker, wanna keep it compact so I can haul it down the river when multiday rafting or throw it in the truck when camping. If I don't use legs it will be easier for the unit to nest inside itself when traveling.

    Lower dampener placement?

    Gotta question for you ecb pros out there. I am going to add two dampeners to my lava pan that my ecb sits on. Should i add them to the side of the lava pan or on the bottom? I like the idea of putting them on the side of the pan so I can see how much they are open, but at the same time want the...

    For those who have done all the mods?

    For those who have done all the mods and can truely contol air flow and temperature, how much of a temperature change can you swing on a single fire pan during a smoke? How low and high are you able to get your temps? Thanks guys, just curious what this little smoker can do when decked out.

    Rope gasket size and glue type?

    My next mod will be the rope gasket for the lid and dampener for the bottom. What size rope do I need and what type of gasket glue do you guys recommend? Thanks a ton guys, getting closer to getting this sucker dialed!

    Newbie here, some help with ECB mods please.

    Welcome to a lifetime of disappointment! Just kidding, but in all seriousness, this thing will make a smoking champ with the amount of work it involves. This site is a good resource. Right off the bat I drilled holes in the firepan and mounted legs on the outside, also put a grill thermometer...

    ECB Minion Method?

    Tonight I did a test run of the minion method. I loaded the fire pan about half full spread throughout the bowl, and in the middle pocket dropped in a half a charcoal start full of royal oak lump. This got me up to temp quick and held it solid between 220 and to 250 for two and a half hours...
