Hi all, Just wanted to know what size Charcoal Basket to make for the Brinkmann Smoke n pit. I have not put the Pit together yet as I am getting an area ready for it in the Yard. I can't wait! Lol... Would like to know the in side dimensions of the Fire box. Still have to get the Expanded Metal at the Depot. Thanks for looking...

You haven't put it together yet, but you want to know the inside dimensions of the fire box. Measure it.??.

Looks like you have a new smoker on your hands. Put it together and use the grate that comes with it while you season it .

LOL! Like your Avatar Pit 4 Brains. Well the Pits in the back of the truck in the box. I'm hiding it from the wife for now. Did take out the manual to read it. I guess I'll just wait till its together  to make the Fire Box. Should be easy. Got 2 Thermometers  coming and I have an Idea for the baffle. YA-BABY,....

Anthony, morning....   About the basket... As big as possible and still be removable....  The size mesh is important too....  The ash from the charcoal needs to fall from the basket pretty much on its own so as to not plug the air flow... Go with big mesh....  Dave

Thanks..!

Now here's what ya do. Go buy a new shotgun that costs more than the smoker. When she breaks a clock spring, "take it back" and "buy" the smoker instead. Be sure to put the shotgun somewhere safe for awhile. Few are the wives that recognize their hubby's guns...
