    BVS mod ideas

    So I got a Brinkmann single door square vertical for Christmas a few years back.  Not exactly my first choice in a smoker, but hey it was a gift from my Father-in-law and I had just gotten rid of my old freezer smoker, so I felt obligated to use it.  I do like the size and the style, but it...

    Q-view from Lil' Piggy

    When I built Lil' Piggy this summer I didn't think she had quite enough girth to fit a turkey with the grates in, so I was planning to smoke our Thanksgiving turkey in my old Brinkmann vertical which I knew was gonna be a challenge in the 20 degree temps we were expecting.  When I brought our 13...

    I think I made a major miscalculation, please help.

    So I finally got a little time to work on my smoker yesterday evening.  I was hoping to get my firebox put together and weld in the convection plate.  I had just picked up the plates to build my firebox and the first thing I did was cut out the firebox to cooking chamber opening on one of the...

    New guy starting a small RF project

    First off I guess a hello is in order.  My name is Shawn and I'm from Missouri.  Been lurking on the forums here off and on for 3 or 4 years now but somehow have never posted.  I first started smoking food over 20 years ago and have had many great successes as well as a few epic failures.  I'm...
