    Wanting to try stick cooking

    I have been using my new Dyna Glo 1176 offset using lump coal and wood chunks. I made modifications to take care of leaks.  I've been interested in doing some stick cooking but have no idea how many splits to use and how long it will burn.  My local Home Depot is selling flavored splits for...

    Graduation Time

    My 2nd grandson graduated from high school and his celebration party is later today. My daughter wanted my pulled pork on the menu so she bought 2 picnics (I told her butts but oh well we'll make do lol) My plan was to smoke them on Friday but mother nature wouldn't co-operate. Rain, rain and...

    Got my new Dyna Glow 1176

    After having so many problems with my Brinkman vertical (my first smoker) and then the Master Forge vertical door latch broke. I tried to search for replacement parts but it seems both companies are out of business (I know Brinkman is) or something because there was nothing out there.  So I came...

    Dyna-Glo Vertical smokers with no offset

    I've been looking at the non offset dyna-glo and wondered if anyone can comment on it. The reviews seem pretty good on the sites that sell it. Here's a pic. Thanks

    ECB and ribs question

    I was wondering how many racks of ribs do you get on your ECB?  Do you lay them out on the grate or use a rack?  If you use a rack do you cut your slabs in half to fit the smoker?  I have done ribs in my ECB before but was only able to get about 4 racks on the two grates.  Then I bought one of...

    The Mods are done and the butts are on

    So how many people does it take to modify a Master Forge vertical smoker.... Looks like 3 LOL.  My trusty pit crew making sure the butts are going to be done right tonight. I'm using my new Master Forge for the first time today but I wanted to get good results so my crew made my mods.  Here...

    Can a Master Forge owner be a part of the ECB Owners Group

    Hey all!  First let me say that I first owned and still own an actual ECB.  I added a green Master Forge to my group a couple of weeks ago.  All I have done to it was cure it.  I hope to add some sort of dampers to hit and a grate to the coal pan before I fire it up this weekend. On the ECB I...

    Pit Beef

    I prepared pit chicken last week (thanks to Chef JimmyJ) and then I saw pit beef mentioned in a thread and I am interested in how to grill some.  What cut of beef do I use and what is the cooking process?  A Qview of a finished product would be nice too

    Different flavors of wood hard to find

    I have been reading about all the different wood you all use in your smoking and so far all I can find is hickory, mesquite and just recently apple (these are all chips).  I did find once a bag of hickory chunks, never apple, alder or just plain oak.  What's a girl to do to get some of the smoke...

    Good afernoon from a smoking grandma!

    Yes I am a grandma to 8 and a newbie to really smoking meat but I have given a it a try a few times.  I first tried it in my 18" weber grill and a slab of ribs.  Turned out ok, but I knew I could do better.  So I bought an ECB to try my hand.  I found instructions for mods on the Brinkman site...
