    How do you mount a Charcoal basket in CG SnP?

    I assume the SnP has a coal rack in the fire box like the Trailmaster. I just put my basket on it. No muss no fuss.

    Tuning Plate/Baffle Material?

    I'm working on this as well - I was able to get 10 Gage cold rolled steel from metalbytheinch.com custom cut.  I bought 15 2"x14.5" plates (I expect to have spares) and a 6"x14.5" baffle for $50 including shipping. I got them in 2 days. (I'm not a metal working guy. I have no skills or...

    Horizonal Offset Smoker Mods

    Thanks Chef -  I found this morning, now that the unit is cool, that there was more space between the top of the fire hole and the top of the baffle. I moved it down and increased the angle so that the top of the baffle is at the top of the hole. I measured and found that the distance is almost...

    Horizonal Offset Smoker Mods

    Quick question.  I got a deflector and tuning plates for my Trailmaster this afternoon and put them in after a quick cleaning and a spray of Pam to season. I loaded a full chimney and change of Lump into the basket and went to town. Man what a difference. Before the right side, nearest the...

    Hi from Virginia

    Hi - I'm Mike and I live in Northern Virginia, about an hour from DC. I've been grilling for almost as long as I can remember and I started "Smoking" about 3 years ago on a duct tape and bailing wire makeshift mod for a Webber Genesis propane grill. My meats came out tasty but I always felt that...

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    Quick question for those who have gasketed your smoke chamber door. Did you use plain gasket rope or the graphite gasket rope? I guess my real question is... is the graphite impregnated rope bad for the meat or the eater of the meat?

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    Finished product... Not the best ribs I've ever made, but I'm learning this thing. I thought my temps were good, but apparently the ribs closest to the firebox got WAY more direct heat then I wanted.  As they say, bad Q is better than no Q! For what it's worth - they would not win for...

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    A little Qview... Spareribs after 2 hours on the smoker. I had a much better time managing heat today. I used a full chimney stacked to the far right of the firebox/cage with 3 or 4 pieces of Cherry mixes in. Then I lit 1/2 a chimney in the charcoal starter and added it to the left hand side...

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    It finally came in and my Son and I put it together today and did a seasoning run on it. I tried to seal up everything I could but the Mill Pac I got was very thick and broke my caulk gun (I did not know that it was even possible to break a caulk gun!) Apparently I still have work to do. I...
