Hi all,
My name is John and I am from North Port, FL. I am brand new to smoking. I bought my first smoker this afternoon. I bought the Brinkmann Smoke 'n Grill mostly for the cost. I have read the modifications on this website and have a few questions about them. I installed the legs on the outside and also drilled the holes in the charcoal pan. I went out and bought a few concrete pavers to place the charcoal pan on. Question is, how high should I be placing the pan? I put on the lid and see that it is not even close to being tight, I can see all around the top between the lid and the smoker. Is this normal?? It is not a huge space but it is noticeable. Lastly, the wanna be temp gauge that comes with it falls out all the time. I just have to move the top and it comes out. I know I need to get a better one but how can I secure this one so it wont fall out all time?
I appreciate any feedback y'all can give me. Thanks!!!
