Gotta Get a New Smoker
Hi there my favorite Q gurus.
I know I had posted this a few months ago, but brain ia aging and I have completely forgotten everything. I had pretty good success with a Brinkmann Gourmet green bullet smoker, but living here in way-the-heck-South Texas, the bottom of the dang thing rusted out and I need another smoker. Should I just go to Lowes and buy another or should I try some other brand in a similar price range. I'm talking between $80 and $125 at the highest. I use sand in the water pan and lump charcoal. I have a remote thermometer and charcoal starter chimney and a cover for Brinkman Gourmet #1. There is an entire brisket in the freezer and a couple of corned beefs begging to be transformed into pastrami. I'm dong some chemo for a surprise case of small cell lung cancer and it's working, but I want to do something nice for DH who has been so awesome through this s--t. TIA for your help. Y'all know that I named my home made BBQ sauce "AFB" after all of you? -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. |

If you want to stick with charcoal, that is a good choice. If you want to consider gas, Great Outdoors Smoky Mountain and use wood chunks. |

Nor Home Depot. Nor anybody else in town. Which is why I've been smokeless going on 5 months now. I'll probably go with a gas-assisted cabinet smoker next. Somrthing like this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Outd...moker/12429510 The smoker will help you get better, too. Hang in there and glad your tests the other day showed it shrinking! -sw Thanks, Steve. Appreciate your good wishes. I thought about electric and propane, but I really do like playing with charcoal. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. |

Pretty much everybody on Usenet has killfiled him (especially RFC). He'll be going back to school in a week or two. No doubt his teacher will make him write an essay on, "What I did On My Summer Vacation". BTW: Somebody was asking for you in RFC regarding kitten foster care. It should be obvious by the thread title. -sw I'll try to find it. Haven't been there. Thanx -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. |

Y'all know that I named my home made BBQ sauce "AFB" after all of you? -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. Well the pic in the link shown does not appear to be a Brinkmann Gourmet model..but rather a cheaper and more cumbersome unit which I think is called a Smoke n Grill or something similar. In everyday phraseology they are called ECB's..meaning el cheapo Brinkmann. My favorite cooking instrument is an electric Brinkmann Gourmet (red in color.) No nasty old charcoal or propane needed. Just need a few wood chunks and an electric plug. Walmart and Academy Sports normally sells them for less than a hundred bucks. I would not trade mine for all the tea in China..but they tend to be a bit wind sensitive so in certain conditions insulating helps maintain the heat. I put a big washtub down over the top of mine..or when It really gets nasty outside I dunk a 55 gallon barrel down over the top with the bottom of the barrel resting on a few bricks to make a gap where a little heat can escape. The smoker lives in the barrel when not in use. Best of fortunes on the medical issues. 'Gourmet Electric Smoker & Grill (810-7080-K) | Brinkmann' (http://www.brinkmann.net/products/de...tem=810-7080-K) I did consider the Brinkmann electric, but the reviews pointed out the difficulty with wind and I live in a very windy area. I'm not big enough or strong enough to wrangle barrels and such, so I think I'll just get me another Brinkmann Gourmet. Thanks for the input and the good wishes. -- Janet Wilder Way-the-heck-south Texas Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does. |
