Well, I fired up the ECB this weekend, but before I did I made a pan to hold the chips above the element. I have to say that it worked well.
I started with an old baking sheet and a pair of tin snips. 10 mins later this is what I had. I cut some slots and bent them down to be used as feet. The tray rides about 1/4'' above the element.
Most of the ashes stayed in the tray and it was easy enough to empty with a pair of pliers.
I also devised a make shift smoker insulator. It was cold here, about 16 or so, but it was that wind that was killing me. It worked well.
What cha think?
