    Hey NWS, cool convection plate. I have the same smoker as you do, did you get the convection plate from Brinkmann or somewhere else? Love to get one for my rig to replace the bent up oven liner I'm using for a baffle now.

    I've been CHALLENGED!!! (Help?!?)

    But in my experience, the heat REALLY kicks in when you STOP eating them. As long as you keep eatin', it's not bad. As soon as you take a breather the mouth starts to burning, and than you take a sip of beer or whatever and spread the hot stuff around. So I would say just soldier through the...

    New thermo yesterday- I love it

    Hey SmokieOkie etal, I just snagged three of these from Lowes for $9.99 each. (That's all they had or I'd have gotten more.) Can you use more than one at a time without them crosstalking? I mean does each remote somehow identify it's own base unit, or do they all use the same frequency...

    Pros and Cons on Brinkmann Cimaron Deluxe

    Hi Thumper! I bought the Cimmaron Deluxe from Bass Pro Shops last year for $550, thought I was getting a great deal. This was my first ever smoker, I've used hibachis and a Weber kettle for years, mostly grilling, but a little smoking in the Weber. I have only used the Cimmaron for smoking...

    going to buy a chainsaw- question

    Poulan, Stihl and Husky, do yourself a favor and stick with Stihl or Husky. I finally found the plastic case my Poulan should have come with........the Rubbermaid trashcan in my garage! Seriously, I think you'd be much better served with a used Stihl or Husky than a new Poulan. I bought an...

    Brinkmann Cimmaron Mods

    OK, not set-and-forget, but a lot less sit-and-worry-the-stuff-on-the-left-is-burning-open-it-up-move-things-around-lose-heat-repeat game. I'll get there.

    Thick White Smoke

    Yeah, LownSlow, I'll try that too. I've used the Minion method in my Weber kettle, maybe it will help the Brinkmann too. My rig is a similar set-up to yours, I believe. The stuff I'm turning out isn't bad, just think it can get better. And I get to eat my mistakes in the meantime.

    Brinkmann Cimmaron Mods

    Thanks Fatback, looks like I have some fabricating to do. This smoker still turns out some good grub, but with the uneven temps I'm opening it too much to move things around. Hoping to get it to just about the set-and-forget point.

    Thick White Smoke

    This is the Brinkmann Cimmaron smoker that I'm having problems with even temps in the cooking chamber (another thread). Fatback posted a link for some mods to try. I'll try adding the wood to the side (easier) or preburning it (probably more effective). Thanks everybody for the help...

    Thick White Smoke

    I use charcoal in a an offset horizontal. Using some non-finished flooring scraps (oak and hickory) for smoke. When I add them to the fire I get great volumes of white smoke as they begin burning (flaming). Any ideas how to reduce the flaming and dense smoke? Should I put them off to the...

    Brinkmann Cimmaron Mods

    Hi all, I use a Brinkmann Cimmaron and was wondering if anyone has experience with mods to this smoker to get a more even heat distribution. It's a side firebox horizontal, and this Saturday I pushed a grill surface thermometer from side to side to see what temps I was getting and what range...
