New Smoker in Texas

[Plumpo]

Greetings!

I'm new to smoking, but have done a fair amount of grilling in the past. I live outside of Austin, TX. A friend of mine gave me an old Side Smoker Grill when they moved. No clue what make/model it is, nothing is branded. Its pretty simple, so doesn't really matter. But if anyone knows what it is, let me know!

Almost done refurbishing it. Removed the rust and gave it a new coat of paint. Replaced the thermometer and added a 2nd one to the fire box. New wood handles/shelves are drying in the garage. Added some strips of LavaLock 12 to help seal it, but might need to add more/redo then. It still leaks a fair amount, but much better than before.

I work in IT so enjoy gadgets and looking into getting a HeaterMeter to help regulate temp and send me alerts.

Welcome to the site Plumpo, Sorry I can't help with identifying your smoker. If you have any other questions ask away.

Thanks! No worries with the grill ID. So far pretty solid success rate on smoking some steaks and chicken. Love the versatility of a side smoker when I just want to grill something. First rack of ribs just went on, well see how it goes later tonight.

Are the parts cast aluminum? Looks like an old Char Broil stick burner

Everything looks to be steel.

Welcome to SMF from Indiana! I do believe that is a charbroil brand smoker. Dont know much else about it, but I bet you can make some good Q on it!

Awesome thanks for pointing that out! Man, his refurb is in a different league over mine. But now I have a lot more ideas!
