    couple of questions

    guys thanx so much... you've all given me some great ideas. I went cheap and easy for now. I've used the oven liner idea. Made a baffle and an exhaust extension.

    couple of questions

    S!~ all I'm not sure where I should post this so I'll just do it here... I have a couple of questions. First off, I have a brinkman offset smoker, and I read that I should baffle the opening from the firebox so the heat is constant through the cooking area... I think that was in the 5 day...

    S!~ Smokers

    thank you for not calling me something... I have the stock thermometer on the grill. Not really very accurate. I've been using the bag-o-wood I get from walmart. Hickory, and Misquite. I've tried the fruit chips... apple and cherry. I'm glad to be here, and I hope I can learn how to do...

    S!~ Smokers

    I'm new here. I just got a brinkman smoker grill... the one with the firebox on the side. I got this on father's day, and I've done four smokes on this thing.
