Burning wood chunks
I thought this had been debunked by a guy who soaked wood chunks for days and only penetrated by like 0.250"?- trig

Another drum question, who here has messed with Icynene?
Yea, I plan to do a couple burns on it, but I don't know. It couldn't be that much more unsafe than burning the plastic liners out, could it? No formaldehyde, CFCs or HCFCs, so I'm wondering what is toxic about it, lol.- trig

Another drum question, who here has messed with Icynene?
I found a guy selling a bunch of drums that had this stuff in it. Apparently it's toxic, but burnable. Here is the link for info. http://www.icynene.com/faqs/#aab11 It seems like it will be alright if I do a couple burns, but I'd like some opinions from others...- trig

UDS builders/users, got a question...
When you use the Kingsford at 2/3 full, are you using the minion method, or a chimney? I think I'm going to try and pick up a drum this weekend. That USABarrels place is only open from 10am till 4pm, so I'll have to figure that one out.- trig

I think you'll get a unanimous UDS vote unless you say you don't want one.- trig

UDS builders/users, got a question...
Wow, thanks for the info. How tall is your basket? Any photos of it compared to a Weber chimney or something? How much more than a chimney does it hold?- trig

UDS builders/users, got a question...
Also, how is that I had to drill 50 holes into my Brinkmann that has a 1 inch ring for airflow around it on the already, but I can get a way with 3/4 ball valves on the UDS? Engineering miracle?- trig

UDS builders/users, got a question...
After 4 test runs, I finally got my Brinkmann charcoal/water smoker modded (read: enough holes drilled) to keep a stead 225-250 and finally try some meat on it. Saturday, I did a 5 hour smoke and cooked a 3.5 pork loin, and a about 1.5lbs of chicken thighs. HOLY CRAP! This was the best thing...- trig

Ready to SCREAM
This is why I'm not going to do anymore smoking practice until I build a UDS. Two trys on the Brinkmann and I give up. Not having any adjustment is just nuts. If you don't get the right amount of coals, your in trouble.- trig

Mini ABT racks for Cooper
I know this is an old thread but what size pepper holes did you make? About 1-1.25" or so? I'm gonna make a big circle that fits on my grill but I'm not sure what size to make the holes. P.S. - Is that 6061 T6 alum.?- trig

Ribs & Chicken Wings!
Thanks for the info man. I don't have any adjustable intakes on my Brinkmann but I'm thinking about adding some. I'm just trying to get a feel for how everyone starts so that I can adjust my own ways too, but my adjustment will come from the fire I think. I may play around with it some more and... -
Ribs & Chicken Wings!
Nice lookin' food! Hey man, from the first pic, how long did you wait to put the food on? Did you put it on right after pooring the hot coals into the cold+wood and then start cooking? -
Temperature Control
I had the same problem on my first smoke yesterday. More fuel means more heat. I am going to add one unlit chimney to my bowl, then pour a hot chimney over it. That should help I think.- trig

Neb from Tejas...
Well on this Brinkmann, there are no vents. Just a door and a gapped ring around the lid. I think this weekend I will try to smoke a Smaller Pork Butt. I plan to fill the bowl about halfway with unlit coal, then poor a chimney on top of that. How does that sound? How long does it usually... -
Neb from Tejas...
One question. When it says, "build a 225 degree fire," is that a 225° fire, or 225° cooking area? Also, if I get a digitial thermo, my probe should go in the meat? I installed a 2nd (real) thermo in the lid before I started last night. -
Neb from Tejas...
Hey guys I'm a newb from Texas and got a free Brinkmann Smoke-N-Grill this weekend. I've been wanting to get into smoking (been grilling on weber several times a week since I bought my house), so I tried my first time last night. I actually tried burgers and ABT's which didn't work out so...
