Hi All,

I'm a newbie BBQer and I'm also a newbie baker so I figured what the
heck, let's put some bread dough on a steel plate in the ECB (el
cheapo Brinkman). The dough is just Costco white flour, Costco yeast,
some melted butter and water...oh yeah also some steel cut oats in
this batch. Once I get the hang of this, I'll add stuff like parmesan
cheese and jalapenos to the dough. I'm digging the smoky flavor -
maybe one day I'll be able to visit Al Forno in Rhode Island and try
their famous grilled pizza.

<cough> like I said, I'm a newbie and my temp regulation skills are
poor. The score board so far is 2 charbabies and 1 slightly under
cooked. I think I'll put a cheat and go dual layer on the steel
plating with about a 1/2" space between the 2 plates. (I'm an amateur
backyard welder)

I haven't done any mods to the ECB except drilling some air holes in
the coal pan. The legs are still on the inside. I didn't know about
ECB mods when I bought the thing (because it was sooo cheap!)

One of these days, I'll weld up my own smoker but right now I'm just
starting to learn about what works and what doesn't.

And yeah, I eat meat.
