Great for the $$, but the charcoal pan needs to be redesigned. too often on 3+ hour smokes the charcoal will snuff itself out since there is no where for the ashes to go. I am going to get a smaller diameter grill surface to use with my charcoal pan so the ash has somewhere to fall. should be an easy fix.....or an easy redesign issue brinkman.
No problems whatsoever on smokes < 3 hours. Food tastes great

I'm a rather seasoned "griller" and a natural progression for any backyard pro cook is smoking--so the interests has been there. The downside to that is that I rarely make impulse buys; instead I would rather read reviews and put my hard earned coins to good use. Well I recently elected to just go all in on this Smoker and I must admit how impressed I am. The other reviews are true in that the smoker does require some altering. But in my first use I believe the key to be the water and your regulation of the temperature (I didn't read the manual---I went all in I tell you). So avoid adding cold water, keep your drip pan full of water and acquire a pole or stick long enough to aid you in the adding of coal. My pork shoulder turned out wonderfully and for a first time user I am rather proud of myself. Conservative shopper I advise you to go all in!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Leaving the door open seemed to provide plenty of airflow, although I will try drilling the fire pan for better control. The thermometer is the major weakness. Otherwise, it's a reliable grill and smoker for the meat enthusiast.

WORKS GREAT, FOLLOWED MOST OF THE OTHERS MODS FOR COALS BUT MY OLD WEBBER KETTLE FIT RIGHT IN THE CENTER AFTER I TRIMMED THE INSIDE OF THE LEGS. NOW I CAN RAISE AND LOWER ON BRICKS AND EASILY REVOVE SMOKER TO ADD HEAT.
PURCHASED A SEPERATE THERMOMETER TO LEAVE INSIDE TO HELP MONITOR TEMP. TONS OF ROOM INSIDE BEST PRICE AND MANY SIMPLE MODS CAN BE DONE TO MAKE IT JUST HOW YOU NEED IT. VERY HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE.

Have owned two Brinkmann smokers like this; they are "entry level" equipment, I would say, but do a very nice job. I chose this style because of its price, cooking capacity and ability to use as a charcoal grill and as a smoker.
Charcoal + wood is the preferred approach for serious BBQers.
I primarily use it as a smoker. Capacity is quite large: can do two substantial briskets, about 10 pounds of ribs (using a rib rack), 2-3 chickens (depending on their size), turkey, several large rump roasts, etc. Two grill surfaces come in very handy.
The smoker maintains its heat quite well, though I add a bit of charcoal or wood every 30 minutes to keep steady heat.
Don't be in a hurry and be sure to share the fruits of your labor.

Great!
,PostedJuly 30, 2011
this smoker work great. especially if you are rookie in smoking meats, this is it. First time I used the smoker, i smoked salmon and it took only one hour. I smoked 4 lbs of bone -in chuck and 4 large split breast in just 4 hours. I used some of the suggestions from above reviews, and i put the coal tray on two bricks. the only thing i would change is the thermometer. Over all it is great smoker, do not go and spend a lot of money on other smokers until you try this one.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Given to me as a gift
,PostedJune 22, 2011
packerfannate
This smoker was given to me as a gift from my girlfriend (now my wife). Out of the box this is almost impossible to use. It is very difficult to get the temperature high enough to smoke meat at a safe temperature.
After a few modifications I now really enjoy this smoker. Here is what I did.
I drilled some holes in the charcoal pan to allow more air flow and placed a grill rack in the bottom to raise the charcoal off the bottom. This helped tremendously.
The thermometer is worthless. I bought a new one and installed it.
I turned the legs where the charcoal pan rests to the outside and drilled 3 holes in the charcoal pan and installed legs. This allows me to life the smoker off the charcoal and makes it easier to add charcoal when necessary.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Amazing Smoker
,PostedJune 17, 2011
BigEasyBBQmaster
I bought this because I wanted to learn how to smoke foods, you know, really barbecue. So, I figured $39.97 was an inexpensive entry, so if I was not good at it, it didn't cost me a fortune.
BUT, I have to tell you, after a few modifications as written on these reviews, this baby smokes ribs like a professional barbecue restaurant. It is amazing.
1st, I attached the legs on the outside of the smoker, opposite of the instructions.
2nd, I drilled five 1/4" holes in an X pattern in the bottom of the charcoal pan.
3rd, since attaching the legs on the outside of the smoker leaves you no place for the charcoal pan to sit, I use 4 regular bricks, stand them on their sides and create a box formation with them, leaving a gap in between the four bricks. I sit my charcoal pan on this. By doing this, there is an open air space beneath the pan so the fire can breathe. next, I just lift the pit onto and off of the pan. It sounds like a pain, but is very easy to do. This makes keeping your fire going easy because the side access door in the smoker is too small to add additional coals if you need to add to the fire. HOWEVER, the side door IS large enough to add wood chunks to keep the smoke going, just use long tongs. For a standard rack of pork spareribs, the first batch of charcoal kept the heat in the ideal range for a total of 6 hours, 2 hours after the ribs were finished.
With these few modifications that took, literally, 5 minutes to complete, this smoker produces long term heat and barbecue that rivals any you get from a professional barbecue restaurant.
It is amazing! No need to spend a fortune on an offset smoker. This baby does the trick. The only reason you would need to upgrade to a larger pit is if you always feed large numbers of people. But, if you are feeding the standard 4-12, this baby can handle it. I am sooooooo pleased with this pit.
