    Gasket Info

    I have been considering buying a gourmet. I would think if you put three of the small weber vents on the bottom of that puppy you could dial that baby right in, but with the electric model, it must be a reasonable smoker already? I see them on Craigslist occasionally.

    hi there you all

    You might want to consider buying an after market thermometer onto it as the manufacturer pieces and usually not very accurate. I was hoping someone that owned this puppy would have chimed in by now...

    hi there you all

    I'm gonna stick my neck out and say it looks like a Santa Fe. Is it possible that it missing a shelf on the left side of the unit. Should be a shelf on both sides, not just the right side.

    @Flash  has some very nice pictures of his old school ECB Brinkmann. Hoping he will catch the @ and post his pics here for us? Just in case he doesn't catch up for a day or so here is  the picture in his album. It's priceless! He controlled the air by turning the concrete blocks. Ingenious!

    Gasket Info

    I have read extensively on this and we have to remember that this is an exhaust vent and you can't use an exhaust vent to control temps as the smoke backs up inside the smoker and makes the food taste acrid. Best to run the top vent wide open and control temps near the bottom with holes in the...

    Gasket Info

    Welcome to the group! I bought my gasket from the local True Value Hardware store. Walked in and told them I needed a round stove gasket half or 3/4  inch thick and they took me right to them.

    Pork Tenderloin on the Mini

    Tenderloin is one of my favorite cuts of pork. Looks great, real nice smoke penetration and the homegrown salad looks great.

    Lovin the pork with qview

    Man, I can't believe you guys. I think you both need re-training in the formal art of following the leader. You are both thinking way outside the box and should be banned from SMF. Since I don't have any real authority here, I will give you both points for not being afraid to take chances and...

    hi there you all

    ok, got the pic of the Char Broiler. Sort of forgot what the question was though... Too much Thin Blue Smoke must of gotten in my eyes.
