Hello all,
I have the Brinkman vertical smoker, and it's been great! I start charcoal in it and then throw on hickory wood. I love the smoker, but I am always opening and closing vents to maintain the temperature. I've had it for about 4 years now and I love it!
If you're not familiar with this smoker, it has a vertical cooking chamber and the firebox is offset. I cook with the chimney fully open and I adjust the vent to tweak the temperature throughout the cook.
I decided to try the IQ120 blower to help me maintain the temperature. My first cook with it will be tomorrow!
Is there anyone here with experience with the IQ120 on an offset smoker?? My biggest concern is melting the hose, which I've heard has happened to other people. I don't know if they installed it incorrectly, or if it's a flaw. I've also seen people drill a hole into the fire box and connect it with a fitting.
Any input is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
