    Brinkman Smokin' Pit questions.

    Yeah, I'm seriously considering doing such...  I've called a few welding shops, but they all seem to be, well, pretty hard to deal with.  I'm used to being able to do this kind of work myself, as I used to be able to just use a buddy's bench down in NJ.  Unfortunatly, now I have to deal with...

    Yeah, I'll be headed for Home Depot first thing in the morning to pick up some supplies and start modding this bad boy tomorrow...  Thanks for all the help. Bill Edit:  Any thoughts on where I might be able to get some of the cutting done?  I live in a third floor apt. and I have neither the...

    Brinkman Smokin' Pit questions.

    This is a better start than I could have possibly hoped for...  The thing I was most concerned about is that when I ran the smoker last weeking, if the smokestack (wrong term?) damper was set to anything less than half way, I had smoke coming out around the edges of the lid...  Sometimes white...

    Brinkman Smokin' Pit questions.

    I realize that this is a cheaper smoker, and looking at it in my backyard, it seems like there may be some room for improvement.  Anyone have any basic mods they think should be done even for a beginning smoker? Also, is it possible to use the Minion method with a side fire box?  It seems like...

    Bought my first smoker last night.  It's the Brinkman Smokin Pit.  I did some research online before I bought it, and I know it's not the most kindly considered smoker in the world, but it was the right price, and it had the room to do the kind of smoking I hope to do in the near future.  This...
