Hey -
Been talking about getting a smoker for quite awhile, but never pulled the trigger. My wife went to Lowe's and bought a ECB Gourmet Smoker. Tried it once, was semi-OK.
But I'm really confused. I've seen some recommended mods to an ECB, but my smoker doesn't have legs to reverse and re-mount. It already has holes in the charcoal pan. I do understand what I need to do with a real thermometer (or two). Do I really need smoke vent holes on the top?
I really want to learn how to make some good barbecue, but I'm confused coming out of the starting gate. Can any of you master smokers point me in the right direction.
Thanks ever so much!
