Here's something similar from Ebay. If my Brinkman goes tits up, this is probably what I'll get:

Man up and get a pellet smoker. Prices have come down a lot! Here's an example of an inexpensive one...

I'm doing a whole smoked chicken and some wings tomorrow. Will use the chicken for enchiladas and chicken salad. I'm going to try to reproduce the wings I had in Charleston.

No, no, no pellets. But I've changed the one I'm looking at. Now I'm finding this interesting:

Acutually, my Brinkman has started working again. Upon checking to see why the heat wasn't building
up and no smoke was coming forth, I found the chip pan was full of water. Seems my water pan has
developed a pin hole leak. Oh well. Live and learn. Seems to be doing very well now that I've
switched pans.
