    @DougE How do you start your lump? Chimney or just in the FB?

    Thanks for the input! I'm picking up a sheet of expanded metal from my dad's scrap pile tomorrow. Going to make a charcoal basket. Fire bricks on their way from Amazon as well

    The first photo in my last post shows the original stack location, which was back right. Several smokers were made fairly similar during the time period this one was built. Hard to say 100% it was a brinkamnn without seeing the original chimney or other identifying marks

    After work I came home and started cleaning the mystery pit. Took all the grates out, shoveled the large bits and vacuumed the rest. Then I took a ball of aluminum foil and scrubbed every bit of the inside. Sprayed with olive oil and dumped in half a chimney of Cowboy charcoal with one hickory...

    Seems to be the way of things these days. Flood winter/spring, drought summer/fall

    I'm most definitely ready for it to be gone

    I agree, it's weird how large of a hole is cut overall. I have a feeling I will be RTV-ing between it and the cook chamber

    Been waiting out a potentially historic rain storm. Hopefully tomorrow (4/6/25) I can fire it up and put some biscuits on it

    Original location for sure. If it was modified it was done well. I don't think the fella i bought it from had the skills to make something that looks so factory, but I could definitely be wrong

    NB was left side firebox, but I can't find a model with a right side centered stack

    Went to Lowes and got hands on with a new OKJoe. It made me feel way better about the quality of the pit i just bought. The new Joe was no thicker than this mystery pit, and I already have a smoke stack at grate level.

    That makes more sense hah! I usually cook 250-275 on my current setup anyhow

    Sounds like I will test drive before putting the wrench to it. Is the hole between fire box and cook chamber normally that large on other offsets? In my head it should be about half the size it currently is.

    Well I rolled the dice and came home with it. It is not exactly what i was hoping for, but at the current prices for my area I think it was worth the gamble. This is my first offset. What mods should I be looking at to ease in the learning process? (I know it is not 1/4" thick) Thus far I'm...

    They are and it is on the thinner side. The fire box bottom is reinforced, which is nice

    Well I went ahead and bought it. Bad storms rolling through tonight until saturday, so I will not be able to attempt a run until the following weekend. It is not what I was really hoping it would be when I showed up (1/4" steel and 300lb 😆), but I think it will be a good start on learning to...

    I have been searching the interwebs for older chargriller and brinkmann's, but I have yet to find any with that stack placement

    I did ask, via messenger, and the fella ignored that portion of the text. I have set up a time to look at it today. I will see what info he may have. Sounds like he painted it somewhat recently, so maybe there is a logo under the black somewhere. If the cook chamber walls are thick enough, I...
