I have a Brinkmann Smoke N Pit Pro that needs some fixing up. The
question I have is can I paint the inside as well as the outside? I
do have high heat paint that's for grills. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

Yeah, you can paint the inside but why? Clean it out from time to time
using a good degreaser but then spray it down with Pam again afterward.
The inside of my SnP is completely covered with a very shiny black
coating-a large commercial Brinkmann I looked at had the same
coating-really shiny black.

Rustoleum black enamel works well on the outside-on the firebox side
it will last a while. Added a 16 or 18 gauge insert inside my SnP
firebox-it was shaped by roller in a metal fab shop-just fits. It is
the firebox I understand that has problems first. Also I cover mine
with a tarp to keep the rain/snow off. Am about to insulate mine with
HVAC duct insulation bought at Menards for winter smoking. Using 2"
wide 1/8" thick steel strapping to hold down ends of insulation by
drilling 1/4" holes for bolts thru strapping and smoke/fire chambers.
