    Smoking a chicken using the Smokey Joe/Brinkmann "hybrid"

    Some of you may remember my MacGuyver post a while back from when I was smoking a 9lb shoulder and found out that morning that the element in my Brinkmann electric smoker had burned out.  I improvised by setting the smoker body on top of my Weber Smokey Joe.  12 hours later it worked out really...

    What do you get when you cross a Brinkmann electric with a Weber Smokey Joe?

    So today was to be the big day-the day I tackled my first pork shoulder after having purchased a Brinkmann Electric Gourmet smoker at a yardsale for $20. Upon bringing it home washed everything, coated the inside with vegetable oil, etc...but never thought to plug in the element... Let's just...

    First attempt at smoking-9lb shoulder tomorrow!

    Newbie who loves beef brisket and wants to make it at home

    So I just picked up my first smoker-a $20 yardsale special Brinkmann electric...you can stop laughing now. I know that they're not really considered pro quality, but nonetheless, I'm going to make the best of it. I've been boning up on modifications (temperature controls and whatnot), but I...

    Picked up a Brinkmann Gourmet for $20-what should I make?

    My dad (the yard sale king) calls me up on Saturday and says, "you want a smoker for $20?" I figured I couldn't go wrong so he grabbed it and I picked it up yesterday when we went to my folks' for Easter dinner yesterday. It's in good shape, doesn't even really look like it was used very much...

    New guy-looking to get started this summer

    Hey everyone-I was referred by jerseyhunter because I was asking questions about smoking venison on another site we both post on. I never knew such a forum existed but I'm glad I found it. I'm a real do-it-yourself hands on type person and I've always wanted to learn how to do this myself...
