Food and Drink Brinkman smoke n grill - Page 3

Anyone ever use one of these for smoking ? I just want something cheap to practice with.

I started with one of those, but I never could seem to keep the temp steady. I finally just went with the 2 chambered Brinkman and I've used it over 20 years.

The 22 WSM is what I'm hoping to get by football season. I was going to just get a brinkman etc but figured I'd just buy now what I'd probably buy down the road anyway. I was going to do the 18 but I think the 22 will be more versatile.

Spring for the 22, it's worth it.

I smoked ribs on this thing yesterday and they turned out great. I just let the charcoal burn down until it was around 220 and then just kept throwing 8-10 pieces of charcoal on at a time, and when it got too hot I put on the soaked chips. It took a little babysitting but the ribs were bad ass. I can tell this is going to be my new hobby.

I am in the market for a cheaper smoker. Wonder what types the good fellows of CP would recommend for a beginner?

I see Brinkman makes the smoke n grill, and the barrel grill and smoker. Wondering if there are any other beginner models under $100 to take a look at?

Well, you could start by reading the thread.

I have the Brinkmann Barrel Smoker and I love it. I am a noob when it comes to smoking meats but I have done 3 boston butts, smoked a couple of salmon and used it for regular grilling. I really like it. I think its a great smoker for a beginner.

Just curious since summer has hit if anyone had any different opinions. And no I don't have a tractor supply store you asshat!

**Bugeater** · 07-09-2012, 10:37 PM

Oh yeah...probably not many tractors in AZ.

Correct. Thinking about just smoking meat on the pavement here though, probably hot enough.

Hurry up & buy a smoker Mr. Grill Master.
Lets get some of this cat fish SMOKED!

I am still looking at smokers and have likely settled on this. Thoughts or anyone that has this model that would like to comment on its use?

To me it reads like it doesn't have vents so I would need to regulate the temp with a water pan instead?

The Red Stone from Tractor Supply has vents for the same or less money. I've been very happy with mine, used it three times in the last month, no complaints. Too bad there's no store where you are. Maybe they'd ship one. UPS can't cost that much more.

I used one of those Brinkmans for many years, and my little brother still prefers his, to his big offset firebox smoker.

I had really good luck with Turkey's in them, just keep an eye on the water pan or the heat can get away from you.

The one in post 9 is the one I have now, and I really like it. Not the best, but good enough.
