    challenges with Brinkmann Square vertical smoker

    By adding fuel I mean I have to add additional charcoal briquettes about every 1/2 hr.  I found that if you add to many coals you just get high teperatures and then you spend all your time opening vents n doors to get the unit cooled down.  I am going to try something tomorrow.  I picked up some...

    challenges with Brinkmann Square vertical smoker

    Sorry, no pics yet.  I have not got that part figured out yet.  I did 2 test runs using my pyromid grill to hold the charcoal briquettes instead of the standard pan.  The coals sit on a grill and let the ash fall away. You can do a web search for pyromid and see what I am using. I just use the 2...

    challenges with Brinkmann Square vertical smoker

    I also have the Brinkmann vertical charcoal smoker.  I posted on the pork forum on my first smoke of ribs.  I did the pan mods and had quite a problem maintaining temp.  After awhile the coals would smother in the ash and I was constantly emptying the pan and putting in fresh coals.  So I had a...

    My first smoke, baby back ribs in my Brinkmann vertical charcoal smoker.

    I've got a pretty good blister on the top of 2 toes.  The problem there was the Cowboy charcoal.  Due to the uneven size, the smaller pcs. fell thru the grate in the chimney starter when I picked it up.  I bought 2 bags of briquettes yesterday and will fire those up in the chimny and then add...

    My first smoke, baby back ribs in my Brinkmann vertical charcoal smoker.

    I assembled the unit yesterday.  Got it for Christmas but other things just seemed to get in the way.  I modified the coal pan, 10 - 3/8" diameter holes.  Fired it up for the "cure"  Temp went way up to 400' and then setteled down between 250 and 200 for the next 2 hours.  I used Cowboy hardwood...

    I wanted to post something so; I don't have a smoker as of yet but Santa is getting me a Brinkmann vertical charcoal smoker, the one with 2 doors. I know it's not the best but I enjoy a challenge. I have already planned to construct a sheet metal outer enclosure around the smoker section and...

    trying to perfect a homemade smoker

    I'd like to weigh in on this. As a newbie and without any real smoking experience I do have a question on this smoker. Being a clay pot I would think that it would soak up any moisture until saturated. So if you didn't have a water pan of sorts wouldn't this kind of smoker absorb the...

    I (we) have a 2008 Rinker 260. Personally I wanted a fishing boat but the wife... well you know.

    I'm new to the forum, as of today. I was searching for info on smokers, the Brinkmann vertical charcoal to be exact, and found this site. I've been checking it out all day and I think I can keep myself busy for quite awhile with all the info. I'm a carpenter/builder, specialized in high end...
