How to Make your smoker more professional like.
I got a Brinkmann Smoker/Grill for fathers day and wanted to make it the best smoker I could. I got some great ideas from amazingribs.com and added a couple twists of my own. So now I have an inexpensive smoker that cooks more like a high end professional one. I have made more mods since this vidieo (my twists, not big ones) and it just gets better. I mean taste wise. If you have an off the rack offset smoker and want to supercharge it, this may just be your ticket. Or a start.

cool video. too bad i couldnt hear most of it.
@OvertheArcOutfitters If you build your fire closer to the damper the wind will blow the ashes further away. Then again I don’t use any charcoal at all. I use a NewBraunfels and can smoke with wood 12 hours straight no ash dump. My problem is the smoker getting to hot near the firebox did the baffle work and did it help with temp controll? Would making a baffle and the smoke going under a cookie sheet with a water bowl on top cool it down?
I think I need to make a video!! DIY smoker using a hot water heater. Simple simple!!
How did you count those yard sticks? Drilled holes and put screws? Or some kind of adhesive? And btw out of all the vids on how to upgrade your smoker this one is by far the most helpful!!
Redo without the radio in the background.
Very nice mods! Why cant they make the smoker the right way to begin with. lol
turn your music off its distracting
Thanks for allowing the embed code. I embedded in my post about offset smokers at MeatFireGood[dot]com. Your modifications show what it takes to make one of these into a more useful smoker. It would be nice if manufacturers stepped it up so modifications wouldn’t be as necessary. Still, I like my char-griller with some mods.
Great video. I like this guys spirit. This is what YouTube is all about. I barbeque and I have some videos on my channel on this same subject . I have a Chargriller offset smoker that I modified. Check it out. Thanks for the great video.
radio is too loud cany hear you talking
Awesome job I have the same smoker & I’m gonna do the same things thanks for the tips What did you do to keep the thermometers from moving around?
good job man, im so gealous of your grill. enjoy it.
sweet! did u cut the pointy needles off the thermometers u added? they still work good?
LOL nice, you must live here in Phoenix area, heard Fitz on KUPD there. Anyway nice vid about the mods you did, but yeah keep the radio down a tad next time so easier to hear you. Thanks man!
Good work, i have been wanting to build one out of a drum for a while, I saw the charbroil at walmart but decided against it for the reasons you pointed out here, those were some nice easy mods you made. So what part of Arizona are ya in, I heard KUPD and smiled
Thx for the idea for the containment basket I just made one after watching this vid..I also got some fireplace sealent(cement) took the firepot apart and sealed up the 2 halves no more leaks on the firepot(I hope lol)
where did you get the thermometers and how did you install them?
For the aluminum rulers you attached, did you pre-drill the holes in the grill or the aluminum rulers you attached?
Qhat did you cut the cookie sheet with and at what length?
Why cut the cookie sheet in an arc or semi-circle instead of a rectangle?
hey how you doing, I bought the same grill for 4th of July and have the same problem with smoke dissipating out. The aluminum ruler idea is very smart!!.. my question is, beside the drilling the holes to mantle to the grill; do you have to do any other mods to the ruler? Thanks!! take care.
Next time turn off radio so we can hear you!!
Good work brotherman!
@blastergrillmaster dude idk what your refering to a cheap smoker….yes it cost 200 bucks, but ive put out some of the best pork, chicken, and ribs that will make you cream your pants…if this smoker came with mods complete when manufactured, this smoker would cost 350-400 easy…so go on with your 15 year old ass and try to sound big somewhere else
i’m sure they told you to “TURN OFF THE FREAKIN RADIO!!!!”
Hey mate , did you manage to post a video on how to install your mist cooling system ?
Im still searching youtube and cant find a decsent video . You going to get thousands of hits cause you will be the only one who actually explains how to . All the videos out there are sh*t . Thanks bud
