Brinkmann Vertical smoker review | How I Modified My Brinkmann Vertical Smoker

Описание: I bought a used Brinkmann vertical smoker. This square vertical smoker uses the same basic concept as the Brinkmann smoke n grill, or bullet smoker as it is commonly called. I believe that these smokers take too many major modifications right out the box to make it a good buy. Simple modifications that Brinkmann should have done at the factory. A simple charcoal grate would turn this smoker into something that would at least be somewhat functional. I was able to modify and use this smoker in a way that makes it a useful smoker in my arsenal, at least for cooking ribs. I don't believe that someone should need to modify smokers that come from the factory. Here is how I modified the smoker to make is useful for ribs.
remove everything from the inside (grates and pan holders)
Drill holes in the top of the smoker box.
Run clothes hangers from the top of the smoker to hang your ribs.
place the charcoal bowl on the inside floor of the smoker (if you have a charcoal grate, use it) I had to keep emptying ash and replacing charcoal in the water bowl that I am using as a charcoal bowl.
I was able to get 4 hours of smoke on these ribs, and they did look good if I do say so myself, but should you have to go through all of this when you buy a smoker from a company that makes its name from selling smokers. Brinkmann has really fallen off over the years, and I wouldn't recommend buying a majority of their products.
