    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    "during a cook the ash tray just fell apart" I had the same thing happen to my ash tray, so I had my factory make me one our of stainless steel. I've since moved on to a Brinkmann Vertical which has much better and more consistent heat control without all the modifications. So I have a...

    I'd go with the 2000 degree stuff. It'll hold up better, longer. The temps on my fire box were approaching 500 degrees yesterday using an infrared thermometer.

    I would definitely apply a coat or two of paint before the first use. I just assembled a new Brinkmann Trailmaster Verticle Smoker and put three coats of Rustoleum High Temp paint on as  my TrailMaster LE was getting a lot of rust, especially on the firebox side. I used the orange 600 degree RTV...

    The ash box on my BTLE was getting a little ragged so I had a friend at our factory fab a new ash box out of Stainless Steel. I also had him make it twice as deep. It fits perfectly and I'm sure it will last a lot longer.

    Sometimes I do, it depends on how close to the fire box I put the meat when I'm cooking a lot of stuff. I always put an aluminum pan full of water under the grates next to the firebox opening which I think helps keep that side a little cooler and moist.

    Just as an aside, I was in my local BJ's Saturday and they has the Brinkman TBLE for $279.00; $20.00 cheaper than Home Depot.

    I'm having one of my factory guys make a deeper ash box out of stainless steel. I'll post some photos when it's done.

    Neighbor got a Brinkman Trailbalzer for Xmas...not going so well..advice?

    I've had my Trailmaster for a couple of years and have found that I need to run it somewhat hotter than I did on other smokers. I get it up to about 300-320 on the stock thermometer that came with it and it's worked very well. I also sealed it when I assembled it, but have not done the other...
