When I was a kid my grandma had a jar full of 'wooden nickels' that the grocery store would give to kids...

That is how my Brinkman works. I really need to put a controller on
the element tho. It runs a bit hot for a smoker.
If you really have it packed, like 3 racks of ribs and a butt or two
it is better than just a rack.

I do have a controller I salvaged out of an old cook top but I never
got around to hooking it up.

I've thought about just replacing the element with a single burner electric stove to better control
the heat. I'm with you in thinking the Brinkman gets too hot. Thought of drilling some holes in the
top and putting some bolts therein, then taking out a bolt or two to release some heat. Problem
is...the smoke would go too.

Any other ideas?

No need for them to be wet.
Hummm, not sure why I soak them, prolly cause grandpa' did.


You want to get as much smoke into the meat as early as possible. Once

it's "sealed" the benefit is diminished. There are also discussions

that wet smoking woods add a bitter taste. I smoke the hell out of

brisket and pork shoulders immediately and never add any more for the

12-16 hour process.
Please expand on that brisket smoking technique. I've not tried one yet, but keep thinking about it when I see those beautiful briskets at Costco.

There's very good info he

Thanks, Earl...one of the links found there also had some good info.

Going to Costco today to get a brisket. Now I have to decide between oak or cherry for smoking.

to the burner controllers

If the burner controllers are taking up too much space, you can send one this way when you get round
tuit. (Oooops...spell checker wants to changer 'tuit' to 'tit'.)

On the way, over.

Yes Greg, they were quite common I the day but the neat thing about them was the stores ( now defunct) had their name and slogans on one side and a huge 5c stamped on the other. And if you saved up some 'wooden nickels' you could redeem them for an ice cream cone or some other treat. Bar tokens- same idea...

My thinking is If I put this control in a handy box with a cord and
receptacle, I don't need to modify the smoker at all.


When you get it figured out, mind sending me a quick drawing. I would
like to try this too...

Hey, got another one of those??

I am going to check out the idea to be sure a 240v controller works OK
on 120v. I will put you in the queue if it does. I have 4


Thanks..
