    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    people have suggested applying the silicone to the smoker base/not the lid and then set plastic wrap or wax paper over the silicone and shut the lid. Once the silicone cures the plastic wrap/wax paper will peel off.

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    As mentioned earlier in this thread, an affordable and attractive solution is to pick up a stainless steel table for about $100 and just set/bolt the smoker on that. Depending on the space you have you could even get one large enough to use as a prep/chop table as well.

    Yes i think that looks like it would work well.

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    could always bolt it to the table. If i recall correctly the casters screw into a threaded nut in the bottom of the leg. 4 simple holes thru the top and the right length bolt and you should be good to go. Or try to find one with a back splash or lip, so if the smoker slides when shutting the...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    The table I found I picked up used on craigslist from a restaurant that closed down. You might be able to find something in your area, otherwise. I would suggest looking for one with a backsplash so the smoker doesn't accidentally fall of the table like this. You might even find that...

    Pecan Smoked Spatchcocked Chicken - 1st Smoke on the BrinkmannTrailmaster LE

    This weekend I wanted to try out my new Brinkmann Trailmaster LE horizontal offset smoker and see how it performs. I thought a nice way to do that would be by spatchcocking (removing the back bone) a chicken. This preparation style helps speed up cooking while allowing for all the meat to cook...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    In foil the chunks will turn to ash. I think the pucks could be the problem. I imagine that they start to flame up at a much lower temp then hard wood chunks. Try wrapping it loosely in foil with enough opening for airflow. You could also try just a charcoal briquette to see if that flares, it...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    Watch the smoker's vent on the top, if it's PUFFING white smoke, the wood is flaring up. It should only have a light stream of thin blue smoke. It's usually thicker at first then thins out. But when it flares it will be thick white smoke, sometimes even coming out the crack of the door...

    SMOKER CLEANING

    Well to be honest, by definition it's really just sote build up. Cerosote is mainly from conifer/pine wood from what I've read. My opinion on grill cleaning and cerosote build up, the difference is that "seasoning" won't flake off and fall onto my food. You can have a "seasoned" smoker/grill...

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    I saw one of these at the local BJ's and have been thinking about it ever since. I've been looking for a horizontal offset for a while. But having learned the hard way many times before that you get what you pay for I'm a bit skeptical of spending $300 on a smoker this sized and by such a large...

    Tough not Tender Brisket - Help.

    Mdboatbum, it wasn't super tough like leather, but it wasn't fall apart tender like a brisket should be. I did my best to stay across the grain.
