    I have done a few smokes now and am happy with results. After my first smoke I fitted a proper thermometer and fashioned a grid to raise coals. I'm not going to add dampers but can see how they would help in really nailing the desired temp.

    Hi Wade, I take all comments constructively and thankfully. The dry rub was a dark rub with a muscovado and coffee base but I do agree that they would of been better wrapped sooner. I'm waiting to get a proper thermometer as I probably lost a little control of temp. It was a pretty tasty feed

    Should I add that the corn was smoked and I had homemade bbq sauce, a cider vinegar sauce for the pork, slaw and potato salad. Looking forward to getting serious and playing with fish, hams etc

    Cheers Danny, I think my training and experience probably pay apart and my ability to work with and adapt recipes. Steven raichlans planet barbecue books helped give a bit of guidance. I should of taken some pictures of my pulled pork :)

    Well 1st impressions of the Brinkmann are pretty favourable, it maintained a good temperature on apx 3kg of lumpwood for over 7hrs with limited fussing. I then broke it down to a grill to give a flame finish to ribs and corn.

    Afternoon Wade, they are indeed holes so fingers crossed they get enough air in

    Thanks for the comparisons Flash, I'm going to grab a chicken and have a bit of a trial run on Friday to get a bit of a feel and see how I get on

    Just received my brinkmann and wanted to share some thoughts. After reading about all the mods I would need to do I was worrying that I had made the wrong purchase. I think there have been some changes or I have a different model. One mod is to move the legs to allow access to the charcoal pan...
