NC Smoker

Hi everyone!

Obviously I love bbq. Its a staple here in North Carolina :)

Anywho, on a budget so bought a Brinkmann Smoke n Grill. Think its referred to as ECB on these forums lol. 

Havent done any of the mods yet but its apparent I need to. Can never keep my temp more than inbetween warm-ideal.

Smoked a 6lb pork butt for 8 hours with hickory chunks. Tasted nice but wasnt as cooked as Id liked it to be.

Then it took me 6 hours to smoke some smithfield baby backs. I thought they wouldve been done sooner but they were pretty good regardless.

So anyway, thats my first 2 attempts at smoking. Hoping to learn more and get this cheap grill performing better! :)
