Found another Ugly Brinkman Smoker for cheap... Time for some mods from here: http://home.comcast.net/~day_trippr/smoker_mods.htm 16 hour burn is no problem, sure it uses a bit more charcoal than a green egg, but I can cook 30 more briskets
Template for the vents: Scientific method to mark 1" from the bottom for a charcoal grate. Some overkill hardware. And the rainy day work station...
tuneighty, I have never noted your link to your smoker modifications. Impressive!! The neighbor was selling his at a garage sale after his wife passed. Now I wish I would have bought it. My wife wants me to turn our old Weber into a pizza oven instead. I looked at the kits for doing that and i am too cheap to buy one. Have you ever tried to smoke anything else but pork in it? Neat, thanks for posting it.
Just a link I found online. I am not that good at fabricating. Yeah, I will have some sausage links in it today, and brisket does amazing. Ribs come out quite well too. I think I will be doing a chuck roast here sometime. It will hold 250° for 16 hours using the minion method. Can't beat that for $45.00.
that is a pretty neat mod on that link you provided, just checked my local C/L and found 2 of those Brinkmans for cheap that look practically new
