    ECB modified to mimic a WSM

    I recently bought a new, assembled but never used ECB (Dos Equis version) for $30 on Craigslist. I modified to get the results I wanted. I looked thru this forum and made a trip to Ace to look at WSM 22.5 for ideas. Below is what I did. Started by turning the legs to the outside, and putting...

    Vertical smoker cookoff

    Had some great que! It was hard to tell the difference between the meats from the two smokers. The best thighs I have cooked, if not my best ribs, very close. The mods I made to the ECB worked great. I had to tend to the ECB more than the WSM, which was no surprise, but nothing excessive. A...

    Vertical smoker cookoff

    This has been my day, experimenting with my new vertical smokers. I found a Dos Equis ECB on Craigslist for $30. It was new, assembled but never used. I read this forum, and did some mods (which will be a post later after I see how it works), it's basically a mini E-WSM. The other is a WSW 22.5...

    First smoke on my Weber Smokey Mountains with Q-view!

    Just picked up a 22.5 WSM, how necessary are the blowers? Been smoking with offset stick burners your years. I have a learning curve with the verticle bullet smokers I have acquired!

    Spare Ribs.... Cutting St Louis style

    I think this answers some of my question. I'm smoking a couple racks of spares today, cut St. Louis style. Wasn't sure what to do with "leftovers". Some of the trimmed off meat looks ok, but some of it looked not so good. But if anyone has more information, please post.

    Sliced Pork Butt

    I have a situation that callls for sliced pork butt rather than pulled pork.  I need it to be finger food rather than sandwich type food.  Any tips or pointers, if I smoke  it to 170 degrees will I be able to slice without pulling it?

    Temperature control for my Oklahoma Joe Longhorn

    I've read a lot of people lower the chimney intake to the cooking grate level. What benefit does this provide?

    Ace Hardware - Oklahoma Joe

    I've been looking for one of these as well. From what I've gathered, Char Broil bought the rights to Oklahoma Joe a few years ago. The Stillwater factory was closed & manufacturing moved to China (thanks president "O"). I'm not sure of the differences from the original and the current make...

    Brisket in the smoker...again!!!

    I have a brisket on the smoker now myself. I found a nice 6.5lb yesterday. I'm planning on 10 smoke time, should be done around 5:00. Half way thru, the meat temp is 164. I, like you want nice bark. But reading Jeff's website, he gives an option of smoking it in a pan to retain the meats...

    Rib selection advice

    Thanks for the tips. Do you know any stores in the Tulsa area that will cut the slab of ribs as you have mentioed. Do you have a favorite meat store? Also, where can I find roll call?

    Rib selection advice

    What type of ribs are your favorites for easy fall off the bone eating? I'm new to smoking, had my smoker for just under a year. I've used Jeff's 3-2-1 recipe with great taste results. I think my problem is selecting the correct meat to start with. I've read a lot on Jeff's website for some...
