Anyone own a Brinkmann smoker

[Steve]

Is that the one that you can lift the smoker off of the charcoal pan? I have the real cheap ECB that I swamped the legs to the outside of and used all-thread bars attached to the lip of the charcoal pan so that I didn't have to unload the mead every time I needed to work on the coals. I also use sand in the water pan, makes for a better bark.

Even with my Lang, I still like to use the ECB. Works great for ribs and ABTs.

Yeah, it lifts off the pan. I got confused looking at all of the ECB mods online until I realized that there were different models The gourmet version (that lifts off the pan) is available at Lowes by my place for $55, and I've got a 10% coupon to use too. Not too bad for an entry into smoking.

And coming across some pics and recipes for ABTs online really made me want to give an ECB a try. Those look awesome. Hope there are some decent peppers at the grocery store this weekend
