How ? What ?

[rizer]

I just bought a used Brinkmann smoker and don't know haow to use it. It has a bowl on the bottom and 1 in the middle and the rack on top. I don't know what to do with any of it. Advise ?

Here is a link to Brinkmans page of owners' manuals. That should be a good start!

[flash]

Probably not as old as this one:



Around 30 years old



Concentrate on just the top rack to start.
Get an internal digital meat probe with 3 foot cord at Wal-Mart
Never fill the water pan full. 3/4 at best, less for short smokes
Cold weather use playbox sand, cover with a sheet of foil to catch drips
Do some mods on it.

Also, remember to watch the smoke



Good smoke on right, bad smoke on left
