    First fattie. Italian Pork with "Q" view

    It's a little cold up here in the UP, so didn't want to try and maintain temps on my reverse flow smoker. BUT... I've been wanting to try a fattie for a long time. The wife and daughters are out of town, which means no picky eaters to please. So, had to try my first one. Thanks to the great...

    Need help with firebox design

    Hoping to get some help from the community on a firebox design decision. I have a 250 gallon DIY oil tank converted into a rotisserie. We have an ash pan that serves as both indirect heat and a sloped drip tray. The ash pan slides in/out, and we pull it out to load fuel versus opening the...

    Rookie brisket attempt...

    Time to take the leap and see if I can turn this brisket into something other than chili meat! Dry rub overnight in the fridge. Let sit at room temp for about 30 minutes while the smoker comes up to temp. In the Brinkman (modified to a counter-flow) at 4:30 AM. Fat cap up. All good...

    Reverse Flow Brinkmann TMLE Build

    I'll start by saying I'm not a welder, and I don't even play one on TV.  I'm a firm believer in function before form and tend to be a "design/build it as you go" kind of guy.  After doing some reading on the site, I decided the best bet for me was to get a  Brinkmann TMLE and try to make it a...

    Reverse Flow Baffle to Cooking Grate minimum distance

    Looking to mod a Brinkmann TMLE into a reverse flow and have a couple of options I'm looking at. Is there a minimum distance needed from the reverse flow baffle to the cooking grate?  Doesn't seem like there would be, but want to make sure I'm not missing something.  I plan to use the baffle...

    Hello from the UP

    New to the forum, new to smoking, but not new to roasting meats.  Just bought a Brinkmann TMLE to get my feet wet with smoking, but I have a rotisserie made out of a 250-gallon oil drum that I've used for pigs, turkeys, chickens, pork shoulders, and pork loins.  Looking forward to having...
