    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    Actually the racks are 16 1/2 inches round. I really don't know about the offset smoker.

    Thanks for the info, but I used big chunks of apple mixed with charcoal and still didn't get the temp up. Maybe I should use just wood?

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    I have the Brinkman limited vertical smoker. I have only one problem. I can't get the temp more than 225-250 degrees. Any ideas on how to get it up to about 325 degrees? Reason I'm asking is for my chicken to cook without the skin getting rubbery. I brine my chicken so don't tell me to do that.

    Just ate the pork loin roast that I made in my smoker. I did it at 240 degrees and it was done in 2 and half hours. at 145 degrees. It was not only juicy but you could taste the smoke. I used both cherry and apple. Thanks to all for input about what to do.

    Rubber skin on smoked chicken

    What do I do about the skin turning to rubber after the Chicken is smoked? How do I get crispy or even chewable skin? Can someone please help me on this matter?

    Brinkman vertical smoker.

    I am from Pennsylvania and I recently received  the above mentioned smoker. I like cooking with it, but the paint on the inside of the door is blistering up. I did what the manual said as far as treating it and now this. I have only used it 5 times so this should not be happening. Should I do...
