    Stabilizing target temps

    I am still trying to learn to use the Brinkman and have a question of how long to wait to put my product on once I reach the target temperature. Seems like I have the temps I need and then within 5 minutes of putting the meat on the grill I have a big rise in temperature. So, about how long do...

    Adding a fire box to a Brinkman Smokin Pit

    Thanks. I have had this pit for 20 years and was in the process of thinking about buying a new smoker. My electric Bradley is underpowered for smoking in cold weather so naturally a new smoker was in order. Others on this site were using the side fire box and that got me doing a little...

    Brinkman Smoke n Pit Professional

    I saw a posting the other day where they had used a gasket material and they gave a web site but I cannot find it now. Also, some have used a cord product that is used on fireplaces. Looks like a silver rope material. Some commented that the smoke coming out of the lid was not a big deal. I...

    Adding a fire box to a Brinkman Smokin Pit

    The end does slide out for cleaning but I load the fire box by opening the lid. As for raising the inside grate, a must do. I leaned from someone on this site that the shaker basket sold at Lowe's, Char Broil brand I think, was a good charcoal basket and it works great. Did my smoking...

    Adding a fire box to a Brinkman Smokin Pit

    Here is the smoker with the new fire box attached. Notice that I had to place it on the left side with the opening opposite the opening of the pit. This was due to smoke stack location. I also repainted the old Brinkman. Lowe's carries these year round in Idaho or at least they had one left...

    Adding a fire box to a Brinkman Smokin Pit

    I ended up just mounting the fire box with the bolts that came with it. I had to mark the template on the side of the Brinkman and then cut out the hole and drill new mounting holes. This worked better than expected. My other smoker is electric and I cannot get the higher temps in cold...

    My First Smoke (Tri-Tip) with Qview

    Great looking tri tip. I bought one yesterday and it goes on the smoker tomorrow. Lots of snow in Boise today so I think I have it timed just right.

    First beef loin tri tip

    FBJ, thank. I was leaning that way based on other information that had this meat cooked on the grill at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. I will give it a try this week and we will see what happens.

    Lowes has Charbroil shaker basket on clearance!

    Just came from Lowe's and now have the basket installed. Thanks for a great tip. I had seen these and was unsure they would hold up as a fire box basket. Next smoke will start in two hours.

    First beef loin tri tip

    Looking for something different to smoke and came up with this beef loin tri tip. I am planning on a marinade and then smoking but do not have a real good idea of smoking temps. I will probably smoke it until it is about 140 degrees internal temp. Any suggestions or fine points on smoking...

    A BIG Thank you Jeff!!

    I want to add my thanks to Jeff and to all those that so freely give of their knowledge and experience. I belong to another forum for fly fishing and if you ask a rookie question you get grief, if you as for help you may get it or you may get a smart a$$ answer. Never has this been the case on...

    Good luck on the journey. Also, that list of times and temps by silver was great, thanks for sharing.

    Christmas Fattie

    In the spirit of Christmas I thought I would try a fattie that had a Christmas theme. What is more Christmas than Santa? So, the resulting fattie was filled with pecan pie filling, pre-cooked, and two Hostess Ho Ho's. The taste was great to some and others did not care for the sweet mix with...

    bar-b-chef restore

    The "new" unit looks great. I just reworked my old Brinkman Smokin Pit by adding a fire box to the side and a general overhaul like you completed. I was especially interested in the way you raised the grate in the fire box. I think that is an idea I will use to modify mine. Thanks for...

    I'm looking for a salmon rub recipe

    If I brine the salmon I do not usually use a rub but for non-bined salmon a very simple rub is: 2 Tbs Chili powder 2 Tbs Brown Sugar 1 Tsp Cummin, ground 1 Tsp Cinnimon Sounds weird but really makes a nice flavor. The Chili powder does not come through like you might expect. My son calls...

    It's Friday - What's cookin'

    Two fatties smoked yesterday to take to bridge for treats tonight. After work salmon goes in the brine for smoking on Saturday, along with a few more fatties for the next week. Then I am trying buffalo legs for a Christmas Eve party, first time for this one. Looking forward to all of this.
