    New Guy, Hello to all!

     smok3y,  Welcome to this forum.  I also have a New Braunfels, a small one.  There is a writeup attached that I made for Backwoodsman Magazine, although they have not published it (and maybe never will, but they are a great magazine for readers).  Let me know what you think about the...

    Need some tips n a miracle

    Mimi, give some thought to how to make the air inlet vent and how to adjust it.  You need to have some kind of flap that will shut off the air completely.  See the picture of my air vent on a flat end, which is easier.  The vent is triangular.  The flap in photo 2 is also triangular and is...

    Need some tips n a miracle

    I agree.  I just posted to Mimi too with an even simpler approach.  This should turn up soon.  Really, smoking is maybe 80 percent technique and 20 percent equipment.  The better smokers are a lot easier to control, but you can get real good meat on simple too with more effort and attention.  ...

    Need some tips n a miracle

    Mimi, maybe I can help a little bit.   Just get started.  You can make your own super simple smoker.   When you put meat in an atmosphere about 240 F (116 C) for several hours it will cook and be real good.  Smoking is a way to hold this temperature for several hours and to make a little smoke...

    Hello all new here excited to be a member!

    Hi BeauBQ,  I also live in Colorado.  I'm at the foothills west of Denver at 5800 ft. elevation.  It seems to me that smoking here is somewhat different than in Houston and loser elevations.  What is your experience?   It might be the dryness, lower air pressure, or maybe temperature swings...

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    You can make a second tier rack out of a flat replacement grill.  Many sizes and shapes are available at Home Depot, Lowe's, and ACE, maybe on sale this time of year.  I got four 1/4" diameter bolts 6 inches long.  Each bolt from the head end had the head and a washer that hung down through a...

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limted Edition - mods

    I used red Permatex rtw gasket material.  I got it at ACE for about $8.00.  Muffler shops have this too.  It is good to 650 °F.   I cleaned the inside of the door with paint thinner, dish soap, steel wool, and finally clear water.  I dried it well.  I covered the edge of the smoker with wax...

    Initial Setup and Using the Masterbuilt Vertical Propane Smoker

    It likely would.  I have a 0-10 psi regulator on a Vermont Castings gas grill and it works flawlessly.  The regulator really gives a wide range of adjustment.

    Initial Setup and Using the Masterbuilt Vertical Propane Smoker

    By the way, I used my 12" cast iron fry pan last week to make a pot roast in my propane grill.  Really good.  I seared the meat over the flame first and then put in pan with veggies and broth.  Just another use for a cast iron fry pan.

    Mods to my new Landman 3895GWLA

    Here in Denver it gets a lot colder than San Francisco.  I don't usually smoke when it is cold either.  However. . . The insulation on my offset really smooths out the internal temperature variations, smooths out temperature changes in response to atmospheric changes, and reduces my use of...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    I have been around lots of places following my oil and gas job(s).  I have enjoyed meat cooked over charcoal or fire in Mexico, Venezuela, Uruguay, Abu Dhabi, Taiwan, Hungary, Hong Cong, Houston, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, North Dakota, California, Kansas...

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    Tuf, I have had a little leakage at the ends.  I first sealed all the 4 edges of the smoking and fire chambers with JB Weld, which is rated for 550ºF.  I think the door metal runs cooler than the body.  I have not had any problem anywhere with it in 1.5 years and many uses.  I did notice that...
