Dedicated electric coffee grinder for grinding. The dry white rice trick noted earlier works like a charm for cleanup. I keep another coffee grinder for strictly coffee. I accidentally made a bodacious pot of coffee the morning after a late night of grinding smoked habaneros. One only makes THAT...

Pat, Yep, know the drill well on the mounting of the ECB legs to the outside. I always used to do the charcoal pan mods so mine are already in proper outside position. The most common charcoal pan mods on the ECB were to drill 5-6 holes in the bottom of the pan for increased airflow and drill...

No story to share, but do have a comment on a point that you made. Using a SJS for an ECB firebox got my wheels spinning, as in why didn't I think of that one myself back in the day. Long story, but suffice to say that I fought the ECB wars for many years. First mod you want to make to them is...

tmfast, Does your friend have one similar to this one? Brinkmann Vertical Smoker I have an El Cheapo similar to the one shown except it sits on 4 legs rather than a cart. I picked it up several years ago on a clearance sale for about $20-30. It's pretty flimsy metal and has serious issues...

Can't say as I blame you! It goes against anything I've ever known about CI

Slightly different tack, but when I read Le Creuset's care instructions, I almost fell over when they said that their enameled CI cookware could be washed in a dishwasher. The only downside that they noted was that automatic dishwasher detergent mide cause the enamel finish to dull over time...

Pat, Here's what Le Creuset has to say about it. Link

Shawn, LEM has a smaller model of the same stuffer with a 5lb. capacity that might fit your needs a little better. I do a lot of summer sausage, so the extra capacity is great for me.

I don't have any first hand experience with this particular stuffer, but it looks intriguing. When I first startd making sausage, I stuffed by using the grinder itself, first a manual then an electric grinder. This works, but you really need a third hand if working alone. I've played with a...

Since this was a brand new seasoned grill pan, I'd personally try to save the seasoning. I clean mine by putting some water in the pan and simmer on the stove top for a short while. This should loosen up the crud between the grooves. Remove from stove top and scrub with a plastic scrub pad, use...

Good thoughts and got me thinking too! I never considered the Ole Smokey legs...that might just fly. This is overly simple, but since I do a lot of camping, I have a couple of these fold up aluminum tables that I use to set my SJ on and they work great. I'm 6'5" and by the time I have the SJ on...

My apologies to all for my part in hijacking this thread as well. I got a little overly enthused. Eric, I'll start a fresh thread under WSM Modifications once I have some photos to post.

I cook on larger smokers as well as smaller and even similar sized products to the WSM. I gravitated to the WSM a few years back after many years of fighting and modifying ECBs and clones. I even went so far as mounting 2 high pressure burners (turkey fryer type) on an old gas grill frame and...

Josh, Not at all on the cold/cruel/sick thing. I'm a life long hunter and do 99% of my own butchering/processing so the concept of raising animals for food doesn't bother me at all. The issue was my wife and daughter, who wouldn't have attended had we known what was being served. Another...

Personally smoked would be rattlesnake or racoon. Got invited to a function years ago that turned out to be pretty weird as I found out after the fact. Long story, but here's the Reader's Digest version. I had a former friend, Keith, who invited me over for a 4th of July bash. He and I had a...
