Hi, I'm Jason. I live in Pace, FL, just outside of Pensacola. I'm a newbie at smoking. I got a Brinkman Smoke N Pit from Walmart this past November and smoked a turkey, a brisket, and a pork butt for Thanksgiving. All of it turned out great but I haven't had a chance to use it since then.
I've been reading about the various mods the past couple of days. This weekend I plan to mod mine with a baffle, and I plan to extend the chimney to the grate. I also need to put in some real thermometers because the one that came with it sucks. One of the mods that I don't quite understand is the charcoal basket. I'm not sure on the placement of it and I'm not quite sure how I'll make one. Also, its already rusting, so I'm going to look for some paint.
Once I get the mods done this weekend, I'm going to get some Hickory and smoke next weekend for Daytona. I've been reading about fatties and ABT's and I'm itching to try them along with some ribs.
Thanks for all the great info that I've read so far.
Jason
