    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    I'm looking at adding the Horizon convection plate to my Brinkman. Do I get the 16" or 20"? Also do you have to do any modification to it? I've seen other posts and pictures where people placed plates on top of the holes. Any information would greatly be appreciated.

    Go to Bbqsmokermods.com. They will have mods specific to what you own including a gasket to help seal it. I ordered mine last week.

    Temp way up using Minion Method

    I was smoking a brisket a few weeks ago and I built a charcoal basket to help with the long burns and used the minion method after reading many of the posts listed here. I filled my basket with unlit Kingsford charcoal and took some from the middle, about 20 lumps, to place in the chimney...

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for all the advice. I definitely need a charcoal basket. That's a heavy duty basket you got there. Also, I think my chimney starter is a POS. Bought it cheap at Home Depot. Could be one reason why the charcoal is all ash as soon as I dump them or have too much in it. My first smoke I did...

    What am I doing wrong?

    I appreciate all the advice. I went through whole 20lb bag of charcoal on the smoker. The air was so still, which did not help. I tried little by little to close the intake vent to reduce the oxygen and not have the coals burn too fast. I was able to get a steady 230 degree for a few hours but...

    What am I doing wrong?

    I just can't seem to get my fire right. I was starting a fire to cook some ribs and placed my charcoal in a chimney. I filled the whole thing up and waited until they were all greyed over. When I dumped them in my offset box, it seemed the charcoal burned quickly and was hardly there. I'm using...

    Hello from Texas

    Hello, I'm from Southeast Texas. New to this forum and new to smoking. I've done a lot of research on smoking before I purchased my first smoker. I ended up with the Brinkman Trailmaster Limited Edition. From what I saw, it had good thick steel. I bought a Maverick Thermometer since that is what...
