New Brinkmann Trailmaster Vertical Smoker
Doc, You can buy food safe RTV here: http://bbqgaskets.com/ It's never too late. You just have to clean any area you want to seal. That will allow the RTV or peel and stick gaskets to stick to the metal. Talk to the guys at BBQGaskets. I'm sure they would be happy to help. They will even make...- mrshep70

Comparing two butts: Foiled & Unfoiled - QView
Thank you for the side by side comparison. I have been wondering about foiled or unfoiled for a while. I have made several butts and I foiled all of them. I always had a good smoke ring, but I let them get to around 160 before foiling. I pull mine out of the CC at 190-195 and place it in a... -
New Brinkmann Trailmaster Vertical Smoker
Yeah. I am a little annoyed at how poorly the door seals on my smoker too. I was going to do a few more mods to help it, but I got lazy. Plus I've smoked four 10lb butts, six racks of ribs, a fatty, and a 14lb brisket (all at separate times) with no problem, so it seems to be working even with...- mrshep70

lump or briquettes?
I used to use Kingsford, but I noticed that my coals would start to choke out because of the amount of ash. I switched to Royal Oak Lump and I love it. Very little ash, and what ash I do have falls right through the charcoal basket and out of the way of the coals and air. I have a Brinkmann...- mrshep70

New Brinkmann Trailmaster Vertical Smoker
Yeah. I had to "modify" my bracket as well. I had to back the screws out of the hinges to allow the door to be lifted. I want to put some washers in there so I don't have to lift it every time I shut the door. Again, quality isn't quite up to snuff, but for the price it is a great smoker.- mrshep70

New Brinkmann Trailmaster Vertical Smoker
I filled the gap around my transfer box with high temp, food safe RTV sealant that I got from BBQGaskets.com. I ran a bead of sealant on the inside and just smoothed it out with my finger to make it look pretty. Mine still has a little gap at the top and bottom of the door. The curve of the door...- mrshep70

Brinkmann Trailmaster Vertical Round 2
Excellent Camp... See that Maverick makes all the diffence. Those ribs look outstanding. Keep on experimenting with it and have a blast. Since my post you saw in the other forum, I have made three pork butts in this smoker, and they all turned out great. Two of them were injected with an apple...- mrshep70

Just got new Iq 110 pitmaster
I have a Brinkmann Vertical Offset Smoker I use my 120 with and it works great. I agree with Wade, I use a rather large chimney of lit charcoal close to the CC, and then I place a full charcoal basket next to the lit coal on the other side of the FB. The lit coal eventually lights the coal in... -
New Brinkmann Trailmaster Vertical Smoker
Campsmoke. I use almost every inch of my firebox for long cooks. I used to use bricks in my charcoal basket, but they took up to much valuable fuel space. Let us know how you make out though, because I noticed the same thing. I was just going to touch it up with high temp paint when it got too...- mrshep70
