    Best ECB Mods?

    Carbon,    That is an elegant solution.  Very nice.  I hope you have many easy smokes. I checked the Home Depot and Lowes stores and could not find that Flag Pole base I used on my smoker as an exhaust.  No longer around apparently.   I was nosing around the Ugly Barrel Smokers and was amazed...

    Best ECB Mods?

    The third photo down of the red & black barrel smoker you will see that the smoker is turned upside down.  There is a large air leak that is obvious to the eye.  Fixing that leak was a real challenge even with the tape stove gasket installed.  Spent hours bending the red fire pan into some kind...

    Best ECB Mods?

    http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/gallery/album/view/id/0/user_id/45324 Somehow I misplaced the photo destination.  Try the above link to see the photos of my ECB vertical barrel smoker.

    Best ECB Mods?

    I found some photos and up loaded them.  Since I am a new comer to this forum the moderator will look at them first before they are posted....I hope.

    Best ECB Mods?

    In the top photo you can see where I drilled some extra holes for more air volume.  Later I learned that was not necessary because with the smoker cruising at 220 the vents were almost completely closed.  No extra holes were needed after all. I am letting this smoke go at a neighborhood garage...

    Best ECB Mods?

    Hello Branson,   Yes, I think I have photos of that smoker.  Question for me is, how do I upload the pics to this thread.  I have not a clue, but I will try.  So, give me some time and I will see if I can do it. Oldsmoke

    Best ECB Mods?

    I went a slightly different route and bought a ECB version without the grill as firebox.  Then I ordered the ECB charcoal grill that normally comes with the Gourmet version of the ECB from Amazon.  That way I got handles and the smoker legs and I did not have to build them as the fellow did in...

    challenges with Brinkmann Square vertical smoker

    I agree with BobH127.  You can have any size pile of charcoal and it should not affect temperature much.  I cut my teeth learning to plug air leaks on an ECB barrel smoker.  Once I had modified the firebox the smoker ran up over 450 degrees on the first try...with no water.  But I had air leaks...

    Seasoned new Master Forge charcoal smoker yesterday

    Don't be too disappointed.  After my experience with a Brinkmann vertical or barrel smoker, the first time I fired it up it ran real hot.    I found that I had air leaks around the access door on the side of the barrel and I spent some time bending it to fit tighter.  Next, there were air leaks...

    Modify charcoal holder tray on Brinkman Upright Smoker

    I just bought a Brinkmann cabinet smoker...and I bought a grill wok from Lowes to make into a fire pan just like the fellow above has done.  But the tough job I see a head for me are making the two doors air tight.  It looks like I will have to remove the hinges to the doors and replace them...

    hey I'm new, I have some questions about the Brinkmann Split door smoker

    I just bought a Brinkmann vertical cabinet two door smoker from Wally World.  This is my second smoker that I will have to modify to work well for long slow smokes.  I just bought a square bbq wok made by Master Forge #0025375 at Lowes for about $10 that nearly fits in the side rails of the...
