Thanks all,

                  Thinking on some salmon, king fish and ATB's for Fathers day, will let ya know if I achieve TBS using a smoke can in my Electric ECB. ( fingers Crossed )

Experimented a bit and tried both the perforated can and a perforated foil packet in the bottom of the Elec TBS,....up to about 175 = NO SMOKE

not enough oxygen . Funny, I took off the drum to get to the element, &..... smoke wisps seep out of foil packet.

Result emptied both in bottom of smoker, not touching element and TA DA smoking TBS steady until they ashed out of course!

YoungOne that looks amazing and very moist!  Did you use the Honey Brine recipe from CookShack? I have never brined the breast before so its something i want to try next.

Also one trick i used in my elect. brinkman was to add only one or 2 chucks of wood at a time....i was going crazy on the wood when i first got her but i was getting way to many flameups and inconsistent temps.  so i would add one or 2 and check every hour.  more manual labor but it seemed to work.  just my 2 cents
