Any mods for the Brinkman Vertical?

[onedragon221]

Just finished my new fire-pit for my Brinkmann Vertical Charcoal Smoker... And Man!!! i think i did a great job in it... I was able to maintain 275-300 for 5hrs!!! so i did a small beef Brisket turned out pretty good, But We're Pork lovers Here's a picture of my creation...
Now that i can maintain my heat for 5hrs? i'm going to step up my game to a 10 - 12 hr burn...
PORK BUTT RULES!!! a quote from my wife.. "PORK RULES!!!"

Question about the clearance between the new charcoal basket you have now and the water pan. Did you have to take out a cooking grate or can the water pan sit closer to the charcoal pan??

Quick questions, did you buy this as is from lowes, or did you have to make it? I have the same smoker, and would love something like this to hold way more charcoal and wood.

you wouldn't happen to have the SKU# for that would you? i have been looking over the webiste, and can't seem to find it listed.
