Had company over so unfortunately could not get picks. I had two racks; 1 on bottom grate and 1 on top grate. They were baby backs so I did 2-2-1. The rack on the bottom grate turned out perfect. The rack on the top grate however seemed a bit over done, especially on the ends. I think I...
so I would say about 75% of the smoke is exiting through the lid vent and the temp is topping out around 235. Things are looking good.First time smoking with pecan so Im really excited to see how it turns out. This is such a great hobby!
Thanks!! I have 2 more 3/8 inch holes on the opposite end. I'll be monitoring the temps pretty closely . If the temps seem abnormally high (or ribs come out more bitter) I may pound some more holes.
Ok. I installed gasket and drilled some 3/8 holes in lid to vent. Should be all set to fire up some ribs tomorrow with the new setup. Now I can eat well while watching the Browns lose.!
Hi everyone. I am planning on firing up a brisket on my ecb gourmet electric in the next couple weeks. Does anybody have any helpful tips for doing a brisket in an ebb? My plan is as follows:

I like to use wood chunks as opposed to chips. The chips burn too fast and produce inconsistent
Heat. I soak the...
I have only tried smoking using electric. I wouldn't mind trying charcoal at some point to see if there is a noticeable difference in the taste. The biggest challenges that I have experienced with the electric are:
-Hard to control the temperature. Usually it will hit around 220 - 240. I...
Thats a pretty gritty lookin smoker! Love it. I am running the gormet electric brinkman with a Maverick et 732 to monitor temps. I am also considering a dampener to regulate the current flow.
Thanks for the info Bob! So the vent position (closed vs.quarter open vs. fully open) will not affect the bbq temperature? I guess it looks cool but if it does not serve a practical purpose aside from weather protection, then I will just drill a few holes in the lid and call it a day!
Hello All. I am considering adding a vent and gasket to my ECB. I see a lot of good information on here about finding materials for and installing the vent, however I am having trouble finding info on the gaskets.
Where should I go to find materials to properly install a gasket on my ECB...
