    Woods For Smoking

    For poultry, I really like 3/4 pecan (or apple) + 1/4 maple, which gives it a nice red color and a solid sweetness. Citrus is a mild smoke with just a hint of tang. I would shy away from the heavier woods like mesquite, hickory, red oak, etc... as they are so assertive that you kind of lose the...

    What are you paying for lump?

    I really like Ozark Oak Lump for the long cooks on the Brinkmann TMLE. The cheapest I can find it is $10.95 for a 10# bag at Firecraft. I am also well-stocked on the Kingsford Blue when I can get 40# for $9.88 on sale.

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    Just installed two River Country professional thermos (RC-T34FC) in my TMLE to replace the cheap so-so Brinkmann thermos from Home Depot. They were $36 for the pair (no tax, no shipping) from Amazon. They have a nice 3" dial face and 4" probes. I had to pick up a step bit from HF as they require...

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    There's a company called VHT that makes high-temp paint applications, i.e. for brake calipers, headers, etc. It's high quality stuff and their "Flame Proof" line is perfect for these applications. The only difficulty is that they require a "curing" process, so it's best to disassemble the...

    Woods For Smoking

    Gonna second what McKee said about the orchard wood. If you're sourcing smoking wood from orchards (apple, orange, peach, grapefruit, avocado, etc), you best remember that most growers are going to apply some sort of pesticide at some point. If you don't know for sure that the wood is chemical...

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    It's probably just discoloration from the heat. Keep a couple cans of high-temp BBQ paint (or brake caliper paint from an auto supply store) and just give it a respray every 2-3 smokes. After it has cooled, spray all over (inside and outside) with a heavy coat of Pam non-stick cooking spray and...

    So, you signed up to the forum and your first post is to simply bash a smoker that plenty of us are turning out great BBQ on?? WTF is wrong with you?

    Smokers made by David Kloser

    I saw one of his smokers at a recent backyard BBQ competition. It was a side firebox (fully insulated) "cabinet" style smoker on a rack with casters. The owner said the thing weights 1,100lbs!!! If you can afford one, it would last a lifetime.

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    First, welcome to the world of the TMLE. It's a good smoker, and will eat a lot of different types of fuel, but it takes some time to get "feel" for how it wants to act. A couple of points: 1. ALWAYS keep your vent stack WIDE OPEN. This is required to create sufficient draft for proper...

    new Brinkman trail master

    I picked mine up at my local McFadden-Dale Hardware. McMaster-Carr also has them. Here:  http://www.mcmaster.com/#push-in-grommets/=tslvrn No need to silicone them. They just squeeze right in.

    Need to find wood online or in san diego

    Check out these guys... they're in Anaheim, CA:  http://www.thewoodshedoc.com/ I'd suggest driving up with a pickup/small trailer and filling it with a selection of splits - pecan, apple, citrus, mesquite. They have 12-14" long x 3" wide split sizes that they label for pizza ovens, but it is...

    Temperature control for my Oklahoma Joe Longhorn

    I'm going to disagree here. The charcoal helps to get a wood fire started and keep a heat sink, but, once you've got a good base of heat, chunk hardwood is your best bet for a solid fuel/heat source in an offset with the cook chamber/firebox ratio of the Brinkmann TMLE.
