    New Brinkmann Trailmaster Vertical Smoker

    One interesting aspect of the vertical is that you dont have to use the firebox. A fire grate directly underneath the food in the cc works also for cooler or smaller or more efficient smokes, WSM style.

    Green stuff on my bacon

    I would defer to those here who use the recipe. I have not as of yet. It was your comment on whether or not you used cure that alarmed me.

    smoking with silica sand instead of water

    Sure, play sand is a larger grit. Hopefully even washed to remove the fines. Its the ground up small particles capable of being airborne that seem to be the issue. But a pile of sand you heat dry and knock about will produce a self ground powder as will many materials as you tumble them. I...

    Green stuff on my bacon

    Throw it out and start over with a notebook. And measure the weights before you hurt yourself or someone you love. I dont want to be harsh, but the cure is in fact poisonous at too high a level and the toxic growths like salmonella and botulism that can occur without it can make you pass out...

    smoking with silica sand instead of water

    Silicates can cause a condition called silicosis. Its generally on the package as a warning when purchasing silicate material for construction, such as grouts and mortars. To ingest it is probably to only wear teeth down, but to lodge it in a lung is a more serious issue.

    Privet

    I heard walnut give people a reaction also but I dont know why. I would believe however, that if you reduced the privet into lump charcoal, the removal of the organic material would render it harmless, but I dont actually know, and would have to read more on the Terpenoid glycosides.

    Help identify

    Recon its a cold smoke generator? The grates throw me. There are some fish related cold smokes that use vveerryy little smoke. More of a drying out or lox making idea. I also found some long spout torch lamps that remind me of that thing. Get your bud to txt you some pics.

    HELP! Need to save the birds I'm smoking

    You might be able to cobble a expandable dryer vent hose inside the cc back to the fb side, and plate tune the hot gas stream almost all the way to the existing exhaust side with cookie sheets and heavy foil. Anything that shifts the hot gas stream. As far as the hot metal of the chamber on the...

    Need An Ash Rake-

    I took a length of aluminum 1 or 2 inch bar stock and bent a handle/hook for hanging and gripping and made a sweeping s shape for the ash side. Its almost L shaped really, but I can bend it for whichever firebox shape I am dealing with.
