I have the ECB vertical. I have been reading through these chargriller sfb smoker threads going around and came upon this link in one of them discussing firebox design.
I also read a section on baffles. I was thinking, would this work better than a water pan or a sand filled pan to regulate and evenly disperse heat/smoke? The only other concern with this train of thought is restricting the airflow with the added baffles given the vent placement on the Brinkmann...? I dunno, I'm just thinking out loud.
All of these sfb threads are making me either want to buy a new smoker or mod the ECB...lol.
Here is the info I was looking at:
