| Hi-
| I'm thinking of buying a smoker. I'm considering the electric
Brinkman
| Gourmet because 1) It's $60 at Lowes, and 2) I rather not deal with
| firetending if I can avoid it at this stage of the game.
|
| Several water smoker threads discuss problems getting the smoker hot
| enough. These threads seem to be discussing the charcoal units, but I
| thought I'd double check that the heating unit in the electric unit
can
| provide adequate heat. (I'm not worried about overheating. I'm
| thinking of slapping together a control box with a rheostat so I can
| crank things back if needed.)
|
| Thanks in advance for any other insights on the Electric Brinkman
| Gourmet you might share.

By the time you add a rheostat you might as well buy an Old Smokey. It
is made in Houston and can be purchased through the factory. Check it
out he http://www.oldsmokey.com/ Also, Northern Tool sells them
usually at a pretty good discount.

My son liked mine so much I bought him one. No need to put water in the
drip pan as the meat bastes itself. Only a hand full of wood is needed
because the smoker is almost airtight.
A 15 lb. Turkey cooks in 2 hrs. and with a couple of holes drilled
through the side I monitor it from the living room using a maverick dual
temp remote thermometer.

IMO a much better product than the Brinkman
