Brinkman Smoke 'N Pit Mods

[malibujeff]

Here is the Brinkman Smoke 'N Pit I picked up used for $40.00

First Mod was to extend the smokestack down

Went to the local muffler shop and got this...

Installed it looks like this...

I made a baffle to redirect the heat from the fire box

Pics of the baffle coming soon

I love a new guy with pic's!!

Gotta do the charcoal basket mod!! Longer burns with less fuel!

That's galvanized pipe.

Actually i think it's aluminum exhaust pipe, i don't believe they use galvanized on exhausts, doesn't bend real good..

Good job Jeff - your on your way!

It's not galvanized, it just standard 3" steel exhaust pipe.

You're off to a heck of a start.

I'm sorry I thought it looked like galvanized. Heck, I need to get me some of that for my smoker. Does it come in bigger sizes? And where would I get some? NAPA?

 

[bunky]

You can probably get some at NAPA or your local muffler shop might have a piece laying around... they have 4" that I know but it's not real common....

What is the charcoal basket mod? I have not seen that one.

Make a charcoal box out of expanded metal and raise in up a few inches. Better air flow and the ash falls away. Make it wide as the fire box and up to the door so you can add lots of fuel.
