Big Green Egg
I concur with what Dutch says. I have a buddy that has a BGE and he loves it. He loves it so much he gave me his vertical Brinkman. But yeah alot less lump due to the insulative properties. Other than that it is pretty much smoking like normal. I also beleive that there is a piece that allows it...- tlottman

Fattie Help
Thanks for the help. So it looks like it is game on for a weekend breakfast fattie. I will definately try to remember to get pics and get a q-view going of my first, but hopefully not last fattie. -
Fattie Help
Alright, I am thinking that I am going to try my first fattie this weekend. I am planning on waking up Saturday or Sunday morning and throwing on a breakfast fattie. I am planning on using sausage of course and on the inside trying scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, and maybe someother things if... -
Brinkmann Square Vertical Smoker
That is the same smoker that I have. It took a little while to get the heat going until I got the vegetable wok and used that as the charcoal tray. I also did some mods like mounting it on an old gas grill frame so that I could wheel it around and had some shelves on each side. I also put...- tlottman

Turkey Sausage Fatty?????
I am smoking a turkey breast tomorrow and figured I had some turkey sausage and turkey bacon laying around so why not try my first fatty. So my question is will these two items work for a good fatty, and if so does anyone have any recommendations for fillings? Also since the turkey products are... -
Brinkman temperature control
timleo, one question about the concrete board. I got mine put on, but the cuts are not the cleanest and to avoid buying another piece of board for the top, I just used two scrap pieces. The question is did you use anything to smooth out the seams/edges before you painted. You seams and edges...- tlottman

Maverick probe functions
Thanks for the feedback. I think that I am going to get the 73 once funds are available. I like the idea of getting two food probes to switch between the foods also. That way I can run the chamber probe and multiple food probes.- tlottman

Brinkman temperature control
That was a great mod with the concrete board. I think I may have to try that next. Mine is doing alot better with the wok as a charcoal pan, and using hot water in the water pan and a charcoal chimmney. I did a turkey at 250-300 and had to add new chacoal about every 90 minutes. I think when I...- tlottman

Maverick probe functions
I am looking at getting either a Maverick 7 or 73, still undecided. My question is that with the 7 it has two meat probes and with the 73 it has a meat and chamber temp probe. Can these probes be used the other way as well. IE can the second meat probe on the 7 be used as a chamber probe, and...- tlottman

My first turkey breast
Smoked this 8.5 lb turkey breast yesterday. I did not brine it because I thought that it was pre-brined in the package but the wife said it wasn't. Anywho, the wife used a store bought chicken rub and made up a mop: juice and zest of lemon & orange, cornstarch, chicken rub, butter, rosemary &... -
Hello all
I just got registered to the forum today and wanted to stop in and say hi to all. I got a brand new Brinkmann double door verticle smoker free on a trade. So far I love it. The food that comes off of it is awesome. The big problem that I have been having is heat control. On Sunday I tried to do...
