Dan and I went and looked at the smoker this morning. It's not a brinkmann, instead it's a United States Stove Co. lol Same setup. Inside diameter is 15 1/2". Got it for $30

Haven't fired it up yet, waiting for Dan to blow out the line first. Don't need any surprises. If it doesn't work, it'll be a charcoal smoker.


Inside

Taken apart

Aluminum water pan

Racks, maybe chrome

There is a couple of holes in the bottom that are original and a small area all the way around the bottom that is open. All for airflow, right? The wood on the handles will be replaced as well as all the screws, some are rusting. We'll use stainless steel to replace them with.
 
Looks good congrats!!
 
thats pretty cool. I have not seen any Gas ones that shape before
 
After taking a close look at the propane parts it looks like we might need to replace the burner, hose and regulator.

Nice find Dawn! You should have it up and running shortly. Waiting to see what you break it in with.
 
Look ta be a great find dawn! I see ya all got some trees an such in yer backyard, always like ta have some woods around.

That should make a right fine smoker when ya geter all cleaned up!
 
looks like a great find stainless and all if the propane parts are history I'd make a watt burner out of it
 
ROFL, now that's an idea, Tip! It would be a fitting end to R2.

The burner is rusted out inside.

We're going to check out Lowe's and HD and see what they have. If it costs too much, it'll be a charcoal smoker in no time.

Here is a pic of the rusty burner. Any suggestions on where to find a replacement for it?
