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...
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...
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...
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...

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'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.
