Can anyone identify my old-school Brinkmann offset Smoker? (Before and after photos included)

[jerbee]

Hey, all! I found a badly rusted (exterior) grill out by the curb of a neighbors house and “rescued” it from the trash,en. I’ve since scoured the rust off and repainted it, but I still have a lot of interior mods to do. I’m trying to find a manual for it with specs and whatnot but I can’t determine the model number.... perhaps someone with more knowledge than myself might recognize what I’ve started fixin back up?

My vote goes to the after pic. Nice job looks great

Nice save. Manual? Put fire in the small chamber, cook in the big chamber.

I don't know what model it is but that's some nice work on the refurb! I tried to give my old smoker to a guy who worked for me but no interest. It lasted about 20 minutes out by the side of the road. I hope this one brings a lot of good times and great meals to you!

nice job!!! what ^ said.

I had 1 just like it, very thick metal, lasted about 10 years outside with out a cover most of that. If I had it back now it would last almost forever lol

 

[mike243]

I take that back,mine had a flat plate welded to the top of the fire box for what ever you wanted to heat up

Nice resto!Dunno the model but a buddy had one.
A shelf mounted on bent rods went into these holes.

That is a Brinkmann Cimarron. Built by roger Davidson of horizon smokers after he and his brother sold Oklahoma Joe. Im restoring a Stillwater currently. It’s essentially the same exact smoker but with a Lowe shelf and door skirts.

Smoking a brisket on one of those bad boys right now! Was planning on spending $450 on an Oklahoma Joe, and found this one on OfferUp for $100. Has thicker steel than ones I’ve seen at the store that cost north of $1000!

And the brisket was amazing!

Thanks! I was particularly proud of that smoke ring!

I have a similar Brinkmann. It is a Cimarron. My wheels are different than yours. I do have the front shelf on mine. It's an awesome smoker.

It looks like a Brinkmann Cimarron shown here on this manual. I just discovered I have the deluxe version with the big wheels and an access port for a log lighter. Yours is model 855-6306-5

That’s a great find and nice work!

I have a Brinkmann Stillwater. IIRC the Cimmaron and Stillwater were same nominal diameter - 16" - and the Stillwater maybe had a slightly longer cook chamber. My Stillwater has the smaller diameter wheels and a port for a log lighter (which I neever used). I'll measure mine and post up the dimensions. Both were made from 1/4" thick steel, and both were left handed. Here's the "stock" photo of the Stillwater I own.

There was also a Stillwater Limited with the larger diameter wheels. Here's a weblink to the Stillwater manual.

Brinkman Cimmaron. I purchased mine new almost 20 years ago. I modded it before first use. I believe it had a 50 or 75yr warranty. I just refurbished it this weekend.

The hanger on the bottom of the smoker is a dead giveaway. Mine is a Cimarron limited, and it has a shield in the smoke chamber directly over the firebox and pointing down in a 45° angle. I haven't seen any like that yet. Mine also has a port for a propane log lighter. They are awesome smokers. This was when Roger Davidson was building them.

Mine has that 45° shield as well and I added a deflector plate which I felt helped a lot. I also lowered the stack to grate level and extended the pipe.
I whish I had those larger wheels.
