Of course ... more air to the fire, more fire. With the door completly open it might be different cooling it down just because of far too much. But as you know even that can cause flam ups. The reason it is increasing the heat in mine is because it is a small crack... possible being drawn the...
200 - 250 wich I can easily achive with the door sealed... (not leaking air in). I am just looking for a cleaner way of doing it than using tape. A heat tollerent silicon seemed like a good choice.
So after my last mods to my ECB I still had temp problems but not as bad. The temp was no longer in the 300-325 but was in the 270 or so range regardless of how closed I had the bottom hole. So I started looking for air leaks and noticed a good 1/4" or better gap where the door is attached. At...
I really think it matters on your smoker. As am example my smoker always burned very hot 270-325. So after raisinf the coal from the ground, I added a sliding cover for the bottom hole to hopfully help better controle the temp. Still I got high temps in the 270 range. Then I discovered that the...
Okay so I have added a sliding damper for the bottom air hole. I hope that this will help controle temp a littel better. I also ordered some fiberglass rope/oven door kit to help seal the air leak around the dome lid. Once that is installed I will make a damper for the dome lid to allow air out...
Okay so I have modded the fire bowl.. adding three screws, and added a grill shelf (not sure what that is called), this offers more air to the coals, and lessens the chance of smothering the fire out. I also added a sliding vent cover for the hole in the bottom, under the fire bowl. This I hope...
I started it with only 1/2 a chimminy. All lump using the meniom method. But maybe too much I do not know..... I'll give it another try or two, if it doesnt work out for me it will not be too big a loss to trash it.
OKay I did my first smoke with my BCE. The only MODS so far is to add a grate in the fire pit thingy. And to add a much improved thermo. Anyway I smoked a whole chic.. came out great however the temp stayed close to 300 the whole time. In fact it stayed that way for close to five hours before it...
