Hey Kids...What do you think of the Brinkman Pitmaster Delux

[stevee]

Hi All,
The other mod to make to your Pitmaster Deluxe besides making the baffle and extending the chimney is to relocate the thermometer so it is at the cooking grate level. I have found that the temp difference is quite a bit.

I also have the Pitmaster Deluxe but I am not getting these mods that have to be done. I just can not picture it right. Does anyone have a picture of these mods done to one? I just can not figure them out.

Thanks for any help

Veener,
I will get some pics of the mod... I will try and get the baffle mod done before this weekend. I am doing 8 chickens. The last batch I did, the side of the chicken that was closest to the firebox was darker then I would have liked it.......

Thanks, but I had someone all ready PM me the mods. I did two of them just did not moved the temp. I have to say it is a lot better. My cook times have gone down a lot. What is nice is that I can put things closer to to the firebox to cook a little faster if needed but it will no longer char the meat or dry it out like it did before.

I have the Pitmaster Deluxe and I absolutly love it.

My temp gauge is already in a good place, is it different on the newer ones?

Kenner Easy Bake! Now that's Funny!!!! I can tell we're not too far in age from each other!

I know people with Bradleys that love 'em! But to me, it's "set it, and forget it". I suppose there's is an up side to that...........but we're really talking "Lazy-Q" here. Some smokers are getting to the point where there is no SKILL involved anymore!!! Turn a dial to set the # of wood pellets that drop and set the regulator on the gas cylinder............your done!!!

If you want to know the "True" art of Smoking............get one with an offset firebox and learn heat management and smoke control. Get to know where your "Hot Spots" are and what "Tending" a Pit is all about. Once you've mastered all that, and want something that easy......go get a Bradley. (No offenense to any Bradley owners - LOL!)

Good Luck on your quest, my friend!

Haha, well said! I also think that part of the fun of smoking is in the process, not just the end result. Automatic smokers are convenient, but when you control the temperature, smoke, and the entire cooking process yourself, it's a completely different feeling and experience. Of course, for beginners, simpler solutions also have their advantages, but real skills come from practice and experimentation.
