    ECB MOD'S Please help

    I have the same one, and the only thing I really needed to do was replace the firebowl with a grill wok. Either that or drill a ton of holes in it to allow better air to the coals. Aside from that, it works pretty great keeping a pretty nice temp over all. Made some of the best ribs of my life...

    Question about brinkman ECB smokers

    Csmith, did you do the conversion on the gourmet char, or the electric? I ended up with an electric, due to a great deal on craigslist, and am wondering if I will need to add a damper on the top sence it doesn't have one.

    picked up a new to me smoker today from craigslist

    Well did my first smoke today, and you were right. The temp held well in the 240-250 range. I'd love to see it a bit cooler but at least it was consistant, and very trouble free... I have a q-view under pork off the main fourm page..

    First smoke on my ECB gourmet electric... Not bad for a 25.00 craigslist special!

    I had my first on my ECB gourmet electric. I had read alot of how hot they ran, and when curing I did see very high temps. So today I filled the water bowl while heating up. I don't know if it helped or not. Still my temps stayed pretty consistant at around 240-245 for the entire smoke. Still a...

    picked up a new to me smoker today from craigslist

    In it's littel test run, it seemed to top off around 350, this is without water and and meat in it. I know there is going to be a drop off in temp with the water bowl, and food. We'll see this weekend., I'm kinda thinking about doing some baby back's that I picked up from sam's club.

    picked up a new to me smoker today from craigslist

    Have you had to do any mods on the smoker, or has it been working out okay for you? At the moment it is registering 337 deg from the top rach with a mavrick. Of course no water, so I know it will go down some, stilll seems warmish. How are temps for you?

    Question about brinkman ECB smokers

    Nice, I think I might go with that, when funds permit it. That might make for a pretty affordable gasser. Not that they are all that expensive, still too much for me. This way I can do littel by littel untill I have her going. Hopfully before winter I will have a ecb gasser that will pull me...

    Question about brinkman ECB smokers

    There are a few on craigs but they are not far new prices, and a few over what I can pay new. All are the smoke n' grill. SO most likely I will buy the gourmet, it is only 59.00 at lows. The hole drill? You mean to drill holes's in doors and such? Will that work okay on metal? I guess I'll...
