    New "Good One" is here! Pics

    Got a good deal on St Louis style ribs and did a dry brine and a simple rub.  Put 6lbs of Royal Oak in the firebox and a couple of fist sized chunks of Apple wood.  Six hours later out came magic.  This smoker held temp between 225-255 all day and it was windy and 60.  I was used to my usual...

    Results of the 1st dry run.  5hrs at 225 - 250 on about 4 to 5 lbs of Royal Oak Lump.  I shut the dampers and snuffed out the coals and still had plenty unused pieces left.

    1st light up is going well.  Within 20min I was able to dial in the spinner intake vents and adjust the damper to hold a steady temp.  I have been holding this temp now for 2 hrs and I should note that is is very windy and raining.  I purposely am leaving the smoker in the open to see how it...

    Just got my "The Good One"  Patio Jr. delivered today.  I've never seen anything packed so carefully and securely.  This this is built like a tank.  Getting ready for the inaugural lightup

    Homebrewers Roll-Call

    Hiya Homebrewers, I didn't realize there were so many on this forum.  Just bottled a nice Kölsch.  I couple of weeks conditioning in the bottle and I'll be enjoying a great summer treat.

    Getting back into the addiction with a new toy

    Due to work I've been away from my beloved smoking addiction.  I just pulled the trigger on a Patio Jr by The Good One.  I saw one of these in action and they build amazing equipment.  I started out small and one day I'll probably graduate up to a bigger model.  I can't wait for delivery. I'll...

    Trouble controlling my ECB

    I found a 14 inch deep fryer basket on ebay for 15.00.  It's very heavy duty and fits into the bottom perfectly.  The grid pattern of the basket allows the ash to fall through and the air to get to the coals.

    Trouble controlling my ECB

    I have since acquired a proper charcoal basket and I've had moderate success with the minion method with only 10 or less lit coals put in the middle.  I can now maintain temp for about 4 hrs.  Maybe with a little practice I'll be able to let it go overnight.

    Today is a good day!

    Finally, I made it to my vacation.  I want to thank everyone for the great tips on modifying my ECB.  It's puffing away at about 227 and my 1st pork butt should be up to temp in about 5 hours.  Since it's of a respectable hour of the day, I believe I'll pull out a jar of Midnite Moon apple pie...

    Trouble controlling my ECB

    I'll post a pic of it now.  I didn't mention before I have an aftermarket thermometer in the lid and a Redi Chek digital unit as well.  They both read within 1 or 2 degrees of each other.

    Trouble controlling my ECB

    do you mean try putting 10 lit coals on top of a pan of unlit ones?   Or just maintain 10 lit coals only in the pan?

    Trouble controlling my ECB

    A friend gave me a red Brinkman Gourmet smoker that he received years ago from Marlboro.  My searches on the internet brought me to some interesting sites on how to upgrade or modify this smoker.  I jumped in with both feet and added 3 round dampers on the bottom of the tray, put in an elevated...

    Hello

    New to the smoking world but have many questions.  Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi to everyone.  I've been lurking for awhile and have picked up some valuable tips.  New to smoking but not to appreciating good barbeque.  I currently am trying to mold my ECB into a usable device in...
