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?

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.

Thanks, Steve. Appreciate your good wishes.

I thought about electric and propane, but I really do like playing with
charcoal.

I don't know what your problem is, but I've never had one with Steve.
He's always responded to my posts with kindness and interest. Maybe if
you were nicer, you'd get better responses, too.

DH got an Amazon gift card for his birthday in June. We have about $40

Wertz has been chasing people off groups for almost a decade.

If he has you fooled, so be it.

He had Omelet in austin.food fooled too, until:

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

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.

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.

Hear you on that. Its pretty windy around here too. Wind sensitivity is an issue for all the little R2D2 water smokers regardless of the heat source. On most occasions if you can set the little critter in a protected area it works well. Now I hope to be a good enough boy for Santa to bring me one of these darling contraptions one of these days. I have a pal who has one and swears by it. Wind dont bother it in the least. Also good in Tornadoes and blizzards etc. He does catering for other mutual chums who are too lazy to fire up their offset log burning creosote factories.

And unless you decide to resume making personal attacks on people who are

Consider this, I have a cooker that has a cooking chamber to dimension of a kitchen oven , comes with two adjustable grids. you can do burgers or brisket to spare ribs. it comes fully insulated, is virtually wind and rain proof. Coals can be maintained without opening cook zone, as in add coals without losing heat. Has a special drawer under cooking chamber to facilitate this. How much for one of these? Well, I paid $15 for mine. What is it? It's an old gas stove with the bottom metal removed. Best damn cooker I ever had.

Marty B is like that, even when quoted and having his own nose rubbed in

Those were the quoted words of one Marty Bodine of Kansas City who
thinks he owns and runs this usenet medium, across several groups
including alt.food.barbecue, alt.sports.pro.football.kc-chiefs,
rec.food.cooking, and alt.food.fast-food.

You should certainly feel free to address them with HIM, eh?

Use these next resources to get to know know HIM better:

Mary Bodine bends over for Texan cock.

Not sure how yall are fixed for wholesale grocery distributors..but we have two big ones in this area one called Sysco Foods and the other Ben E. Keith who also happen to be a big beer distributor. At any rate they peddle charcoal to restaurants and delis etc. They have some very good Mexican Mesquite lump which comes in 40 lb bags. Ideal fodder for big pits but the chunks vary too much in size to be useful in small water smokers. The latest brand I got from them is called Chefs Choice. Was about 12 bucks per bag last I checked. Sysco tends to be a bit crappier about dealing with non commercial purchases..so it can be ordered and delivered to any kind of store..restaurant..hospital..jail..school..bar etc..which buys stuff from them and where a person might have a friend willing to help them snag some...and picked up on the premises. Ben E. Keith is a bit more rational and has a public purchase dock where you can step and fetch it yourself at a higher price plus sales tax etc. Anyway just some angles to pursue on that. If you ever run into any B&B Charcoal from Texas. Stay away from it. Highly nasty stuff. Best of fortunes.

I used the theory of; start off big-N-ugly with a 55 gallon barrel, so
an appliance white used gas stove is prettier, she was in.

But to appease her vision of yardly beauty, I'm on the look out for a
stainless steel used gas stove.

I'm sooo impressed with the sweet way it cooks I am never going to use
any other cooker. Here is a pic...

That is genius. Please keep us up to date on your progress. Best idea
I've read here in years.

Looks great. Smart thinking on that one. Bet a person might could even put a electric element in the bottom on that puppy and get rid on the nasty old charcoal. Broke down SS restaurant stoves are prob fairly inexpensive. Had a pal who could have got anything a person might want along that line in his long tour as official Maintenance Man for the famous Waffle House chain. He dont work there any longer so that deal it out..lol. Maybe you could make friends with a guy like that? Would also not hurt to bug some of the used restaurant supply places. Course they tend to be proud of their stuff so dont get a skinning on it.

It would be easy to modify with whatever you wanted inside the bottom
drawer, for sure. But I like my Kingsford. I do have the desire to
temporarily add an electric pan to do some cold smoking in the future.

As insulated as that puppy bound to be should be just fine for cooking stuff too. Not sure why anybody would like Kingsford. Mighty nasty and evil stuff.
