    brinkmann gourmet

    Check out some mod pics. 3 bottom vents, one top, raise charcoal pan with lower holes drilled, new thermometer, seal gap between  lid and body, plug that center hole in bottom. These things worked for me. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forum/newestpost/146912

    Absolute newbie to smoking

    Hang in there Benjay. I started out with what sounds like the same smoker and I had a terrible time with temp control. If you check out some of my previous posts I made some modifications  to have more control over the air flow thus having more temp control and it works like a dream. I have...

    Trying to take my que to the next level.

    Ok, after many posts and research I have realized my que can get better. Been locked into the 321 method of spare ribs . I desire a firmer rib with just a little fight in the bite. I think my pork shoulder is pretty good, involving all the usual tactics (injecting, nice rub correct final IT) it...

    The perfect bite pork spare ribs.

    Nice Que View, that is what I am going for. Also after the 3 of the 3-2-1 things get kind of dark on the surface. I guess if I go down to 2 instead of 3 that would minimize that. I want to bite those ribs.

    The perfect bite pork spare ribs.

    WOW, THAS SOME GOOD LOOKING Q. I think if I put a whole lit chimney in the coal pan of my brinkmann charcoal ECBish (with some mods to control temp) It would launch to the moon. I usually fill the pan with cowboy lump, top with some wood chunks and start it with some fuel cubes. The coals...

    The perfect bite pork spare ribs.

    I am using the 321 method. So you think I should move some or all the time off 2 and move it over to the 3? Does the new 3 get smoke for the duration? it so, how do I get that nice mahogany color BBQPM show. Mine tend to turn almost black.

    Color of final pork product

    I'm using a rub out of Jeff's book. It calls for white sugar and I substituted half of it with brown but it is salty sweet. If I go with a more salty rub when do I introduce the sweet? I think you are on to something.

    Color of final pork product

    I'm using a modified brinkmann charcoal smoker. I use cowboy charcoal and a mix of hickory and apple wood. I do a lot of pork spare rib and shoulders. I'm wondering why my finished product is almost black in color. I watch the BBQPM show and there stuff comes out with a nice mahogany color and...

    First Time Smoker

    You could try the 3-2-1 method. I have used this on spare ribs. 3 Hours of smoke 240. 2 Hours wrapped in foil at 240 (Add some some liquid to the foil such as apple juice to create a moist environment. 1 Hour unwrapped back on 240 heat to firm up a little and get some bark. You can find this...
