Hi.  I am Matt from North Texas.  I replaced my Brinkmann Horizontal looking for more consistency from the new vertical.  Yesterday, I tried the pan method from Jeff's book and will post separately on the outcome and my smoker.  Looking forward to participating in the forum!
 
Hi Matt, i am also Matt. Let me know how the smoker works out for you. I am in the market for a new smoker and cant decide between the weber smokey mountain and the brinkman vertical. Your input will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Matt,

I just posted a comment on this thread http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/149947/new-brinkmann-trailmaster-vertical-smoker It has a lot of good material on this smoker, if you haven't seen it.  I was post #93 of 93.  I've only fired it twice but I haven't had any trouble maintaining 225-250 for several hours on one load of about 3.5 lbs charcoal (3/4 lump and 1/4 briquette. 

I did seal the door with Nomex tape and sealed the 2 halves of the firebox with a 5/8" X 1/8" flat fiberglass gasket as there was a gap there.  Some people have had issues with the door being warped and have added latches at top and bottom of smoker.  I'm happy so far..
 
Thanks!  Looking forward to becoming a better meat smoker.
