    Smoker mod Ideas

    I would have put the new temp guage below the stock one towards the center of the smoker. Trash the ceramic charcoal bowl and get a grill wok from Lowes or Home Depot for $15. Get you 4 bolts and nuts to put thru the bottom at each corner to make little legs for it to stand on to get airflow...

    BTW the mods I made to the Brinkmann two door was that I sealed all the edges with the high temp gasket seal then I got the grilltop veggie basket from lowe's.

    Dual Probe Thermometer
