Hello from Indiana

[dburgette]

Thought I would join to truly understand the ways of smoking. I have always been a huge griller, but knew I was limited with only grilling meats. I bought a smoker this week and have been starving for info. Feed me!!!

Proper Intro:

-Derek
-3 young boys that keep me busy
-ECB (Started with the official newbie smoker)
-Very new when it comes to smoking
-I have made some mods to the ECB like holes in the coal pan, raised charcoal grate, temperature gauge on lid, but need some advice about adding wood to keep smoking rolling. I have had a hard time keeping the smoke circulating during my last two smokes (yesterday and today -- ribs and stuffed chicken)
