    Camera for inside smoker

    That is what I thought too. I guess if it could be done it would have been done. It sounds like still pictures with notes at the time of the reading will be the ticket then.

    Camera for inside smoker

    We are starting a BBQ club and eventually a competition team at the High School I teach at. I would like to add a camera where the students can check in on the smoke inbetween classes, free time or so I could time laps the process for teaching. We will be starting with drum smokers for each...

    Brisket in advance

    This sounds like a plan.  I may even wait until the next day to cool, then slice and place into a liner before freezing a day.  It looks like I will be cooking Wednesday and eating Monday.  Thanks agin!

    Brisket in advance

    I will be to busy over Christmas weekend to get two brisketts done for extended family lunch on Monday the 26. I was thinking of smoking Wednesday, cooking then just reheating on Monday. Is this ok or is there a better way? They are both around 15 pounds and I do not want to risk staying up...

    mods for smoker

    I borrowed this smoker from my brother in law because he is thinking of selling and I may want to buy.  Yesterday I just bent a couple of sheet pans like I have in my trailmaster.  The gap to the fire box is pretty big and there is no tuning at all in it.  My dad can have something welded at his...

    Temperature Control on Brinkmann Trailmaster

    I too have the trailmaster. The mods I have made are sealing the chamber door, dryer vent to grate level for exhaust, bent cookie sheet as a baffle and I have extended the "baffle" by wrapping the bottom grate with foil and poking holes in it. I used to use the minion method, but my last few...

    Smoker Paint: Tired of Black: What's Good Paint?

    I know this is a very old thread, but iit came up while I was searching. Has anyone tried to just use high temp clear coat on their smoker? I would like to sand down a 250 gallon propane tank then spraying it clear to show old color and the rust spots. Has anyone seen this work on a smoker...

    Smoker paint!

    How would a clear high temp finish hold up? I am getting my ideas together for a build and I was looming to just brush the rust off and clear coat so it keeps the natural rust/patina look. I will still blast and paint the inside. How would this hold up?
