Hi, I am a novice smoker hoping to learn the tricks of the trade. I have an ECB and used if for the first time yesterday. The results were just okay, not great. I have signed up for the 5 day course. Its good to know that I can turn to people on this forum for expert advice. I purchased the ECB because 1. cheap (didnt want to invest too much in something I know next to nothing about) and 2.seemed easier than charcoal. Thanks to all for the advice that I know I will be getting/needing.

Welcome to the SMF. You'll be amazed at how much information you'll be processing in no time. That means even better Q.
 
Welcome to SMF blackandbluedog, I have an ECB also. Although it doesn't see much action since I bought my GOSM bigblock.

What were you smokin that didn't turn out so hot?

Signing up for the 5 day ecourse is a good move, it will answer alot of questions.
 
Brian,

I have mastered the ECB, no one else knows it better than myself

......... Just fly me over to Hawaii, and I will give you hands on, step by step, instructions. In advance, you can prep by filling the fridge with ribs, roast, butts, sausages, fish, plenty of spices, and a bunch of beer. I think I can get you up to a respectable level in about 3 weeks time. Let me know when you get me that ticket ........ just make it two tickets my wife would to come out as well.

Welcome Brian -

You are already in a great place to learn some simple wonderful cooking techniques! I leaned alot about preparing food and inexpensively when I lived in Hawaii! To bad most of and Mom and Pop restaurants are gone they could make some great food out of almost nothing. Ah well I degress ...

The ECB is a great little smoker don't let the price fool you! It's the Hibachi of the smoking world! Enjoy!
