I need another damper in my base.. I have to crack the door sometimes to get more air and raise temps if it's windy. [emoji]128077[/emoji] later [emoji]127866[/emoji]
 
Looks good... nice color inside and out!

Is that a tenderloin there? If so, good job on maintaining the juiciness.

I drilled a dozen or so holes in the top of my ECB, and never saw a need to cover them during the cooking process. Whether you do the rope mod is up to you, but the more smoke you can draw across the top of the meat, the better.

Congrats on a fine first smoke!
 
I put dampers on mine because I can get the coals to smother out faster if I want to save them.. and if it rains I don't get water pouring inside the ECB.

It is a tenderloin, thank you!
Adding bottom dampers tonight, brisket going on at 6am tomorrow since I have no idea how long it'll take, lol

Wish me luck!
