I love my little Brinkmann smoker. I have used other smokers in the past, including an Electric smoker. from Homedepot.com The air circulation is poor and in 3 uses, trying different mixtures of wood/coal, with all of the vents open I could only the the temp up to 175 for 15 mins. My daughter has accused me of always returning gifts so I was DETERMINED to make it work, but have been very frustrated with this mokerand end up having to cook the raw meat by another means after 4+ hours on the smoker. I have just found this site to rate after an email to Brinkmann, to which I received a response, but needed to look up the model number. Had I seen this sooner I could have shown my daughter after the first falied attempt LOL! from Homedepot.com I'm not sure why people have said they had trouble keeping the temp up. Someone suggested drilling some holes in the bottom of the charcoal bowl to allow for better circulation and for spent ash to drop through and thus not choke the live coals. That might work, or Brinkmann sells a little "heat booster" grate on their website for the bottom of the coal pan that would serve the same purpose. I think you just have to make sure you have a nice, hot fire to start with, keep an eye on it, open the bottom vents when it starts to get too cool, and add new piping hot coals about every hour. from Homedepot.com The vents on the bottom does'nt allow air flow to the coals to keep the temp. up. Brinkmann needs to come out with a different design for ai flow,raise the bottom vents up above the charcoal pan,if you can do that this would be a good unit for the price. from Homedepot.com We just bought the Brinkmann Charcoal Smoker. Very disappointed at the lack of "how to" info that came with it. from Amazon.com So, I took a drill to the charcoal pan, crafted a little grate for the charcoal to sit on, and now I am able to keep higher temps, although not as much as I'd like. I imagine if it were summer time, I could get a better temp out of it, but it is currently around 50 degrees outside. Summer time this will be a hot item (literally), but for now I smoke for flavor, and finish the food off on the grill to raise temps to safe level. from Amazon.com I own this smoker. It comes with a 15-inch charcoal bowl that has no holes in the bottom. from Amazon.com We just bought the Brinkmann Charcoal Smoker. Very disappointed at the lack of "how to" info that came with it. from Amazon.com Pros: Affordable, 50 pounds, sturdy from Shopping.com Pros: Easy to assemble. Great design. from Shopping.com
