Brinkman Smoker
Here’s a full profile shot of the Brinkmann. Its a rather simplistic
device, essentially a metal box with two main compartments. One for the
meat, and one to hold a water basin and a charcoal bowl.The Brinkmann
uses side vents, 4 in total, that can be adjusted for airflow in order
to maintain proper smoking temperature, which is 200-225 degrees. The
Brinkmann seems to run fairly consistently at just above 200.The bottom
compartment with the charcoal bowl, which holds about 5lbs at a time.
Soaked wood chips or hardwood is used to provide the smoke flavor. For
our first round of smoking we used Hickory, but we also have Apple,
Cherry and Oak. I had to make a minor modification to the bowl because
it was “choking” the airflow, so we had the hardware store drill a bunch
of holes in it and now use a small baking sheet at the bottom to catch
the ashes that fall through.
