    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    I use the heck out of guardian Service aluminum cookware. The FDA certified it a safe, so I don't there is anything to worry about, plus it is not subject to direct heat.

    I use a small Char Broiler  thermometer ($5.97 from Wal-Mart) mounted a slightly above grate level. Works great. Oh, BTW - I calibrated  via the boiling water method.

    Some random thoughts on the Smokin' Pro and mods.  I did lot of reading, including great info here, and had an epiphany - so I bought a Char Griller  Side Fire Box.
