    Brinkmann Smoke N Pit low temps, too much charcoal

    I've been using my Brinkman SnP for several years and have no problems getting proper temps; both in stock mode or after I installed several mods (firebox baffle, pavers in the bottom of cook chamber, raising the firebox grate, multiple thermos).  I usually need to close the firebox vent down to...

    Why is Franklin BBQ in austin so good?

    Franklin's charges $20 per pound for brisket. The brisket's they provide for the telephone / web pre-orders are between 5 & 6 lbs. So I shelled out $117 for the 5.4 pounder I lugged home on the airplane.

    Why is Franklin BBQ in austin so good?

    Just returned from Texas Hill Country. Visited Black's in Lockhart and Franklin's and Salt Lick in Austin. Black's was fantastic. Brisket and sausages were excellent. Wasn't able to try other meats, as  they were running short on meats late in the day that we got there. Great atmosphere. Sides...

    Overnight 1st brisket smoke with pics!

    Aaron Franklin's You Tube videos on slicing brisket are quite helpful. He points out that the grain in the flat and point sections of a brisket are running in different directions and that one must take that into account when slicing across the grains.

    Brinkmann Smoke N Pit low temps, too much charcoal

    I've been using my Brinkman SnP for several years and have no problems getting whatever temp I desire. It takes a lot of tending, but the results with brisket, butts, and ribs is A-OK.  I've got a deflector plate coming out of the firebox, a raised charcoal/wood grate in the firebox, and several...

    Cutting "Notch" In WSM Drum For Temp Probe Wires

    Why folks insist on cutting notches is beyond me. Grommets or 3/8" threaded lamp pipe works even better.  Per a suggestion on another WSM website, I used a drilled-out, double-female coax connector that replaced one of the bolts that holds the top rack in place. A buck or so at HD or radio...

    How I start and use my WSM....

    I think it may have been mentioned before, but it bears repeating. If you have a gas BBQ with a side burner, starting a full chimney of charcoal (briquettes or hardwood) is easy. Just set the chimney on top of the side burner and heat over high flame until the charcoal is burning vigorously. No...

    WSM Mods

    I just installed two coaxial cable connectors (double female for RG-6 coax, available at Radio Shack, Home Depot, etc.) per Petewoody's suggestion. After drilling out the plastic innards of the connector, I removed two of the bolts that hold the brackets for the top grate, increased the hole...
