Well, I am another new member to the art of smoking. I purchased a new ECB smoker last week, but have yet to fire it up. I am going to start with some ribs on Thursday and thought now would be a good time to get some advice if people like. I have not made any modifications except some thermometers. I installed 2 thermometers about 4-5 inches above the cooking level in the middle of both zones(zones is the whole smoker split in half) I am not going to make an other modification yet even thought I like several that I have seen. I have to convince my wife that we(the people that use the smokers) knows more about the smoker than the people that designed it!
Im a guy and we all love to improve what manufactures are too cheap to do.
Well I purchased the rib rub from the smoking meat site and will be using that thrusday. I am planning on using charcoal base with adding wood, but dont know that ratio of charcoal to wood to use(just an est. would help) because I know it can vary.
I also watch some videos on the site to help me on my way. What are some of the things that I need to know going into this new hobby? I have the basic tools and supplies while sparing no expense. Thats the only way to jump into a hobby
! LOL.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Joe
