ECB Mods with Photos

[Scott in CT]

Hey Guys,
I hope I put this in the right section.
If not, I apologize.
Please move it, if necessary.

Anyhow, I took a bunch of pics to the Mods I did to my ECB.
I must say, they were all pretty easy and really fun to do!
I saw some of these online, as well as here on TVWB, so I can't take the credit for coming up with the ideas.

Eyelet Mod 1
Charcoal Pan Mod 1
Charcoal Pan Mod 2
Vent Mod 1
Vent Mod 2
Vent Mod 3
Vent Mod 4
Vent Mod 5
Vent Mod 6 (Note additional eyelet on left vent)
Vent Mod 7

A very nice job! Once you plug the hole in the bottom, and control the airflow with your new vents, you should be able to maintain a steady temperature without much trouble. I cooked on a Brinkmann Gourmet for about 4 years, with similar mods (but not nearly as well-executed as yours) and it would run for about 6 hours at a time, at a steady 225-250, before I had to dump the ashes and add fuel. Yours will probably go at least that long, and longer if you burn lump (much less ash generated). Now, cook, eat, and post photos!

Thanks guys!
Yes, I ordered the vents from Weber.
They were really cheap and shipped pretty quick.
