The mods worked great and the brisket reflected that. The mods I made were; 1. Relocate the smokestack to the firebox side; 2. Install two steel rails (I used a piece of bed frame rail attached to the existing bolts) in the lower half to support the fire grate. This allowed me to position the over-turned fire grate at the top of the side firebox opening and up against the side. I chose to remove two bolts (and weld the box to the grill) to allow it to be completely flush with the side. A person could also use aluminum foil to make a thick gasket to seal the two pieces. This turns this smoker into a reverse flow smoker and my results were great! The surface temp of the lid at the fire box was 210 F., the opposite side was 212 F. The smoke was running throught the smoker just right and I was able to maintain the smoke flow temp at 250 easily. This mod also allow the smoker to be returned to a grill without removing the rails. I took several pictures and would love to share them with everyone but I have not created a blog for such yet. Thank you Big Iron for the inspiration and all the great information. Allowing people into your life like you did has got to be tough. I wish you and your family all the best. Smok'n in Arizona...David Dear Big Iron,

I thought it was from your web site. It showed using a NON-STICK spray, Like PAM, and spray the inside of your smoker first. It was a round smoker. I cant find the video. <a href="http://bigironbarbecue.wordpress.com/2008/05/03/brinkmann-smoke-and-grill-the-pros-and-cons/" rel="nofollow">You can find the video here : </a> I thought you had a video that showed how to use a Smoker for the first time.
