    Smoked Chicken Help

    On my charcoal ECB I start at 300 on the top rack breast side up. Cook to 160, then I move it to the bottom rack and take the water pan out. It's finishing the smoke closer to the flame, crisps it up just fine. Cook to 170. On my GSM I just cook at 325, breast up till 170. I have tried using...

    How to smoke hot peppers

    Smoking the pepper by itself is pretty simple, Just throw it in your smoker at 220 with your choice of wood. I like mesquite for peppers because it has such a bold flavor that mixes well with the natural pepper flavor. Check on the pepper after about 2hrs. Look for a wrinkling of the flesh...

    1st Brisket in GSOM ?

    Altitude for sure! My dad lives in Montana and there is noticeable difference in grilling and smoking times. I did a great job of ruining some chicken and some jerky the last time I was there. Great part about smoking is you can always try again...yummmmm

    First Butt/Smoke - Wood catching on fire - Please help

    ECB owner here (charcoal). I have messed with chips, chunks, soaked and not. I never soak my chunks, as fire-it-up says, add them one at a time. If you are using chips try the smoke bomb method. Take an empty, clean tin can..(tomato can,etc) Open on 1 end, put in a handful of chips in it...

    Smoked Kobe Beef

    The marble on that steak looks amazing. I've tried the kobe ground, but just can't get myself to spend $40 on a single steak. My mouth is watering just looking at the uncooked steak. Nice!

    Smoked Buffalo Wings with pics

    Hoser, I do mine at 240 - 260. I think Nater did his at about the same temp. I hit 240 and keep it easily with the ecb, when I am crisping them up on the bottom rack, I stir the coals up to get a 260 -280 range. adjust time accordingly. Usually I am pretty close to the 160 range on the...

    Super ECB!

    I'll just get at cha' now about charcoal management on the ecb. It may be on the mod list..I forget, but drill some holes... about 1 1/2 inch in the bottom of the coal pan. Then I got a small round grate. I didn't measure so naturally the first one I bought (14") didn't fit right. I couldn't...

    WSM - Smoke leaking from lid seal normal?

    I know what your saying... it's happened to me on a few smokes. A) the lid sometimes appears to be sealed...if you grab the handle and turn it, you'll notice sometimes it gets hung up in the same groove as the top grate... So it's correct on one side and a bit tilted on the other. Lid is...

    Smoked Buffalo Wings with pics

    I found a cool way to crisp up wings if you have a charcoal/water smoker. I smoked using my ECB, 1hr on the top rack. Used apple wood and a full pan of water. Pulled them out and painted them with a glaze of wing sauce and sprinkled with a bit of brown and white sugar. Then I took the water...

    All Lump is not created equally

    I tried my 1st smoke on the ECB last weekend using Cowboy brand lump. It was very odd stuff. Most 98% of the bag was very small pieces of lump, smaller than a briquette. The other 1% was a decent size. I used all the good sized stuff in one smoke. I started to use that crap again this...

    Question regarding wood chips/chunks....

    I did some messin' around with chips, chunks and soaking them vs. not soaking them. Now granted I am using a ECB I had some interesting results. This was a long smoke I started with 2 chunks soaked and 2 dry. I added the wood to a nicely ashed briquette coal bed. The soaked chunks started...
