Enjoying the Smoke!

[mikie2084]

My name is Mike and I live with my wife and "boy" dog Duke in a small Va town. I got a brinkmann smoke n grill for my birthday in june and love it! Ive done ribs, pork loins, chicken, brats, and a fattie, with the ribs being my favorite.

Im not satisfied with the brinkmann, its too hard to keep the temp rite. I have a 100lb propane tank that i want to use to build a smoker. I have been searching and cant find the info that i need, firebox dimensions, where to mount the box, side or beneath, ect. If someone could point me to this info I would greatly appreciate it.

My smoking partner Duke. Do not sit a beer down where he can get it!

Hi ya Mike, welcome! I had to respond because you said Duke loves beer. Wow. A ton of emotions. My dog (cooking partner) also loved beer. She preferred domestic over import. lol I couldn't cook without either a beer or her. Had to put her down almost a year to the day. Thanks for the fond memories.
