Converted my Brinkmann Vertical to propane yesterday.....was very easy to do only took about 1 hour after I had everything I needed. Thanks to a post I had read I had purchased a nice gas burner at a very reasonable price on line http://www.savezoneusa.com/shop/step1.php?number=609. It has a small and larger burner that can be used independently from each other (electrostart lighting). While I was at it I also drilled a mounting hole for my "Smoke Daddy" www.smokedaddyinc.com. Can't wait to try it out. I have a GOSM propane also and want to see how this compares. I had previously added a seal to the door by cleaning the area with alchohol and applying a bead of clear silicone caulk where the door meets the cabinet....I then flattened the bead out slightly by wiping it with a wet finger.....WORKS GREAT! Waited 24 hrs for the caulk to cure. Today is New Years Day and I have a busy weekend, so guess I have just got to wait to try it out. May have to figure out a way to damper the air flow....got a couple of ideas if I need to do it......

Nice conversion. Cant wait to see if you like the results from today.
 
Just wondering how low of temp you can get the temp with that burner.

Looking at 30K btu seems kind of high, just want to know if just using the 1 burner you can keep the flame low enough that the wind won't blow it out.

Thanks
 
I am going to test out the unit (heat run only) this Sunday.....just looking at the flame on the low burner seems to be about the same size as on my GOSM on it's lowest setting....lowest setting of course wouldn't be a problem in this Midwest cold weather, but yes in the summer is when the problem might show up....don't remember the size smoker that I saw on the post where I got the web address for the burner, but I thought it was about the same size as mine and he didn't report any flame out problems that he was having.....guess I will find out..........Rick
