    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    WeekendBBQguy, Not really sure on the science of how it works.Its a steel plate with a 90deg bend in it. Place it on the end of your cooking grate, nearest the fire box. One end will sit on your grate and other end will hang in front of firebox opening. Slight movements towards or away...

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    Whiskey boyz, I have a brinkmann trailmaster le and have been having a little temp problem as well. (15-20 deg. Diff. Side to side) not bad, but kind of frustrating. Will your baffle fit this grill? And if I purchase it do I still need to have my convection plate in my smoker?

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    Also saw pics of your plate on previous page, if you haven't done so yet, you may want to try drilling some holes in it. Smaller holes near firebox then increase in size as you move down towards the stack. Might help, just my thoughts. Up to you. Good luck!

    I have that same unit. Made a convection plate the day I bought it and now about 15 deg. Difference side to side. There are some good links on here for mods. Also check you tube, think convection plate is a must for this unit.

    Raptor, No have not tried without the water pan. Kinda thought you had to have a water pan in there? Was thinking about moving water pan more towards stack (under cooking grates). Mark
