A newbie smoker!

[shea1973]

Hello my name is Shea and 36 years old.  I live in Vandalia Illinois.  I been grilling for the past 20 years.  About 3 years ago I bought a Brink man Grill & Smoker for $200.  However just this summer I have started Smoking on it. I am starting to find it very fun to do and enjoy it a lot. Still trying to understand how to control the smoker, work in progress.

   I have already made a couple of post and found that there are some really helpful and very nice people on here.  I also sign up for the smoking course which I found helpfully, but for some reason didn't get chapter 2. 



This is my Brink man smoker.  Yes it is a little rusty, a few occasions I forgot to cover it!

  I thought of repainting it but not sure how and if the heat would chip the paint.  On the side is where the charcoal and wood go and you can also do regular grilling on it.

Welcome. Check out the build section for paint tips. You can search and most likely find what you need about paint. I used wood stove paint on my fire box, and high temp engine paint on the rest of it.

The bad thing is now that you joined, you will be smoking to much to get it painted.

Keep the smoke rolling and have fun.
