Hello, All!

I have been eyeing smokers for a while now and finally made the step this weekend. I did a couple chickens that turned out very good but ran into some issues with my Brinkmann upright which I found out are fixable/modable. That's great because it is hard on your first try to watch the temp guage struggle to get over 150!

Anyway, it was a good time and great learning experience. I have already seen fixes for most of the issues on this forum and it seems a wonderful place to meet people and discuss this great subject/hobby.

I'll talk at you all later!

Brent

If you have a brinkmann cabinet style upright then here's the fix...grill wok. I got a stainless basket type wok at Home Depot, fits in the rails perfectly and test fired it at 300 degrees for about 4 hours with no added coals. A little hot but better than 150-175 degrees.
