On my way to some ECB mods...

So I have temporarily combined my 2 ECB's. The electric on the bottom, and the body of the standard on top.

I'm thinking about permenantly attaching them together to get the proper height from the heat source, cut a larger door in the top section for meat access and build a proper charcoal setup in the bottom.

I'm also going to use a lid from a small charbroil grill, which fits better than the stock one.

Tonight's cook is using a combo of the electric and some charcoal with hickory for flavor. It is holding right at 230 at the lid using a digital, not the cheap temp guage in the lid.

Thoughts?

Yeah, they each have the ability to have 2 racks.

I don't plan on having any in the bottom. The lower unit is going to be the burn area and the top for racks.

The bottom rack of the top unit is almost exactly 24 inches above the heat. If I cut a larger door in the top, I'll have good access to the racks. I'll probably reconfigure the racks on top to gain more room for product.

Once I get working on it, I'll grab some pictures, including the build.
