Well I was going to buy the Brinkman Vertical Smoker that costed around 40 dollars and yesterday my sister told me that a friend we know wanted to get rid of a smoker. I had seen it before and offered to buy it from Him 1 year ago. Well I got in touch with him and he said he didnt need it anymore and that I should go ahead and pick it up.
This thing weighs around 200 pounds (solid steel) and is in Good Condition. It needs a fresh coat of paint but thats it. The grates are nearly 90% rust free so I imagine cleaning will be easy. I plan to sand and apply a fresh coat of rust-oleam heat paint and also add new wood for the shelf.
I will be posting Pictures as soon as I get a chance to show my new smoker in the now condition and then improved condition. I imagine 2 weeks from now I will be done with my project. To let you all know how excited I was, I went to the store and bought a brisket and put it in the freezer till I am ready and even bought my charcoal and wood chips. I cant wait.
My big question is, Other than Facial work that I will be doing, what all do I need to do to get my smoker ready for a smoke-off? This is my first ever Charcoal smoker so any pointers you can offer are greatly appreciated.
Stay Tuned for Pictures.... =)
