    First time smoking a turkey. Need some help please!

    That's a BIG turkey for smoking. Al has a good suggestion to spatchcock it along with his other suggestions. I would also brine it if you can, and remember to get your rub under the skin on the meat. Injecting is also a good way to get flavor inside. Good luck! SmokinAl! good to see you still...

    Brisket placement

    If its just one I put it in the center, as Al said thick end towards heat source. I don't think placement matters that much if you monitor your temp at that point on the grate. If I'm doing more than one I do swap em but I don't rotate. I always keep the thickest part towards the firebox.

    Smoke House

    Cowgirl built a very nice smokehouse. I know it's on her blog but don't remember if she posted it here. I'll see if I can find it.

    charcoal basket in brinkmann TMLE

    If I'm using briqs i use kingsford blue. Just empty your ash pan when it gets full. Home Depot runs a special every spring, 2 20# bags in a twin pak, 8.97, no limit. When I buy lump, it's either Royal Oak or GFS. GFS is the same as RO but comes in a 20 lb bag for 11.99.

    charcoal basket in brinkmann TMLE

     Have you modified the ash pan? Mine leaked air there badly. It's hard to get a long slow burn when you can't control airflow. I run with the damper 3/4 closed to maintain 275  and nearly 100% for 220 ish. Now that I modified the ash pan I can control it much better. It's been my experience that...

    pork butt has got me stumped this time!

     I've heard that Wild Turkey 101 has a warming effect when taken in 1 to 2 oz. doses. Not that I have any experience with that. Sounds like everything came out ok if not perfect. You're a true addict smoking meat in 12 degree weather. I'm sure the insulated smoker helps but still.  :) I share...

    pork butt has got me stumped this time!

    Is it possible fermented beverages were involved and you slept through the alarm.Then when U woke up everything had cooled down a bit? I pull mine off at 195 wrap and cooler them. The meat pulls easily but you don't get "mushy" pork . Just my personal preference.

    SNP into a Reverse Flow?

    I have seen it done but if the SNP is modded right it's not necessary. It's a lot of work and expense for a light weight smoker. When I retired my SNP I took off the firebox, covered the opening with a flat plate, cut a butterfly damper in that and another in the opposite end. It makes a GREAT...

    Need some advice for a good meat for a quick smoke...

     Excellent advice from JimmyJ. I smoked a packer brisket for family get together on Xmas eve and put two tenderloins on at the end of the smoke. I used a thin coat of honey and my rib rub then foiled them at 140 with a little AJ and took them to 150.  They were fork tender and juicy and the...

    Brinkmann Trailmaster LE

    Finally put mine together the 23rd and seasoned it that night. The lid thermo in mine runs about 40 degrees higher than the temp at the grate, but I haven't done any mods yet. For me it was difficult to keep the temps down even with the FB damper fully closed. Looks to me like the ash pan just...

    Go to Walmart and get some Royal Oak Made in USA lump charcoal. You'll have no problem getting the temperature above 250 with good lump. I'd leave that grate in the bottom to get air under the basket and protect the bottom of the firebox from getting too hot. JMHO.
