    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    No, it doesn't. And, it will be detrimental to the flavor profile of your meat. Proper smoking requires that the heat (and the small combustion particles) move off the coal bed, across the cooking chamber so it "flows" over the food, and out the stack. If you close off the exhaust stack, you...

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    I had the same issue. What I did to moderate it was to bend up the rearward end of the tray's channel edge. When closed, it sits far more flush than it used to. A little air coming up through here isn't such a bad thing.

    Older Oklahoma Joe Smoker

    How much are the sellers asking for it? What story are they giving you about it? Do they sound like they know what they're talking about, i.e. how it cooks, holds heat, etc?

    why can't I keep temp

    It's a fuel and/or airflow issue. Try small wood chunk pieces and see if that cracks it.

    Where'd you get the "Dad's Grill" sign?

    problems with heat

    I am of the opinion that a substantial reason for the failure to get cook chamber temps up is the size of the firebox outlet. That thing is way too small to properly transition the heat and create adequate draft. I'd guess that it would need to be about twice as large.

    Proper fuel for sidebox smoking with a Chargriller sidebox 2424

    I 2/3s fill my minion basket with Ozark Oak lump, then use a 3/4 full chimney of the Kingsford Blue to get everything going. The basket sits toward the intake side of the box and my chunk wood goes between the basket and the outlet to the cook chamber for heat and my desired smoke profile. I...

    Royal Oak Lump Charcoal

    Give Ozark Oak a try. Good stuff. Minimal splinters/gravel. I get it from bbqguys.com. They only charged $7 to ship 40 lbs of lump to California ($9.95/10lb bag).

    Royal Oak Lump Charcoal

    Dan, every combustable adds "smoke flavor" to food. Remember, lump charcoal and briquets are a wood-based product. In BBQ/smokers, the flavor profile is determined by the chemical nature of the fuel. Generally speaking, when using seasoned wood chips/chunks/splits, lighter woods with mostly...

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    Due to the design of the firebox's lower rails, like everyone else I got tired of the sloppiness of the fit of the ash tray. I knew that all I needed was to shore up the tail end of the rail somehow so the ash tray would fit up properly, but I didn't want to add anything to it. Then, after...

    Brinkmann Trailmaster Limited Edition

    I think that sealant dries to a hard state. You don't want that. The Rutland High-Temp Black Silicone Sealant will work everywhere but the firebox door. It gets too hot there. Toss that thermo and get a replacement. Better yet, get two and install them at grate height.

    Temp control fan

    Do a google search for the DigiQ DX2 or the IQ110.

    Brinkmann also offers a vertical smoker in their TrailMaster line, but the biggest complaint is that you can't really do ribs or a good sized brisket... you just don't have room on the racks. You'd need to go with a horizontal offset instead.

    Brinkman Smoke-n-pit horizontal mods.

    That's just it... it isn't the same. Remember, flavor comes from the gas that cooks your food, not the smoke particles, and the composition of the gases depends on the amount of O2 present during combustion as well as combustion chamber temperatures. Also, it isn't as much the volume of...

    Brinkman Smoke-n-pit horizontal mods.

    I get that you're trying to secure an even heat distribution, but you're going about it the wrong way. That can be effectively managed mechanically with a firebox intake damper, diffusers (aka "tuning plates"), etc. Leaks are not a substitute for what a proper exhaust chimney accomplishes...
