brinkmann

I found this classic Brinkmann on Facebook marketplace place, cheap. It was five hours away, one way. Undeterred I made the deal and drove down to Nashville to pick it up. A little surface rust, but otherwise in great shape. I Spent some time with the grinder and wire wheel. Repainted with...

Hi Guys, Found this Brinkmann, what I think is a Cimarron of some sorts or a Trailmaster 855-6300-0, and am picking up down the road this week. Pretty sure this is a 1/4" thick model so for $70 not bad. Here's the only pic that I have of it. When I looked at the manual for the Trailmaster...

If this is wrong please tell me so I can fix it , don't flag because I am curious. Going from StLouis to Grand Rapids then across Michigan to Port Huron. Looking to pick up something I need as far as parts etc. Anyone need something , I may have it? Is there any place we should stop and eat at...

How do I run a probe for Brinkmann Gourmet. Want to make a grommet or small hole to pass the probe wires through for a maverick wireless. What is specific part should I buy at HD. Also a general probe question, when taking temp for the grate, do I need to put tip of probe through a small block...

I have never ate food from a UDS. I hear it taste better because the grease touches the charcoal and vaporizes back into the meat for more flavor. Is this true, if so what percent better does this taste. Can this be replicated by putting char diamonds in the water pan. Any proposed...

Always see these on CL. I've heard they are designed to run 230 240 out of the box. My question is on the science behind it. Could I regulate the temp. Say I do similar mods as people have done with gourmet charcoal. Would opening up vents on the charcoal pan warm or cool the smoker. Would a...

First about where I am at. Spent the last couple years smoking on a cheapo knock off of a WSM. Learned a lot and learned how to make mods as well as cook pretty well on it. Most of the time it only for the family so I didn't need a lot of capacity. It's time to move onto something better. Been...

First post, hope its being posted to the right place. Nothing original here, but wanted to post my modified Brinkmann Gourmet. Standard lid damper with a 22.5” WSM damper. Instead of gasket rope around the lid, I put self-stick nomex ½” gasket around the lid, and also another round strip...

So, I've been looking to upgrade from my gasser to a stick burner and I think I found the style I like most. Only problem is most of them have been way out of my price range. I started looking for a bandera with no luck anywhere. I almost went with the Dyna-Glow vertical offset smoker and then I...

Hey Everyone, I'm new to the boards here and thought you could help me with a question I have. I'm new to BBQ on anything besides burgers, steaks and the occasional chicken breast on my Weber Grill. I also live in Long Island, NY so it's not easy to get really good BBQ around here. I'd like...

I am just looking to get into BBQ. I have a nice Weber gasser that is great and I will still use for the times it has to be done quick. The offset smokers appeal to me. I have read that they are harder to maintain the temp and take more babysitting but that idea doesn't bother me as long as I...

Hey Guys! I need some assistance here. I am experimenting for my first amatuer rib competition on Saturday and am having a heck of a time keeping temperature steady with the wind. I am using an old round brinkman smoker and we have 30-35mph winds... is there some sort of inexpensive BBQ...

I am new to the forum and have not had any luck finding any info on Brinkman Pitmaster Deluxe mods. I am thinking of buying a used Pitmaster but want to make sure I can mod it before I do. I saw one thread about raising the fire grate and adding a baffle. Any details on these mods and any...

Found this on Craigslist here in KC. Seller is asking $250, but it's been listed long enough that my ceiling is $200. Assuming it is somewhat heavy duty and sturdy, do you guys think it would be worth picking up? Over the last few years, we have been tinkering with a Bandera type...
