    ECB too hot

    It's a gourmet model. Down to 254 now! I'm going to smoke 2 chicken breasts. How long do you think it will take? Thanks!

    ECB too hot

    Anybody else? Is it best to keep the charcoal in a pile, or spread it out in the bottom of the charcoal pan? Thanks!

    ECB too hot

    Hi all, I have 1 chimney of Royal Oak lump in my ECB. It has been going for 30 minutes, and still 305 degrees. The charcoal is in a pile. Should I spread it out in the charcoal pan? Will it cool down that way? Or will the coals go out if I do that? THANKS!

    Lump or Regular Charcoal?

    Hi All! Is there much difference in using lump charcoal while smoking instead of just regular charcoal? Also, where are some good places to buy lump? I live in the Dallas, TX area. Thanks!

    I did not season it, but didn't know it needed to be done. How do you season it? Also, my smoker does not have an exhaust to adjust. From what I have read, people make modifications to their ECBs for reasons like this. I'm not really into tinkering, that's why I was wondering about getting...

    Noob needs help BAD!

    Thanks all, How do I regulate the smoke? Any suggestions on what kind of thermometer to get? Also, I see that people with the Brinkman have to do a lot of mods. Would it be easier to just go out and get a horizontal with offset firebox? Thanks again!

    Noob needs help BAD!

    Hi SMF gang! Yesterday I went out and bought a Brinkman Gourmet charcoal water smoker. I was all excited to get home, and put it to use. Following the included chart, I added 3 chicken breasts and a sausage. The cooking chart indicated 4-5 hours smoke time. The temp stayed about half...
