    Beef spare ribs and a Pastrami.

    This was by far my best smoke on the electric ECB. I followed some advice from a few good folks here and only used 3 chunks of hickory and 4 charcoal briquettes. Could have stayed on the smoke a little longer, but they sure tasted good. Notice the number on the bottom right? That was the...

    Help for my Pastrami. W/ Qview

    This was my first real smoke. I may need some help here. lol I found corned beef brisket at my local grocery store for .89\lbs.
