So, no cooking last weekend but I did fab up a new basket for the firebox. Since my smoker was (well) used when I got it and had some damage in the firebox already, I did a similar add on as Fred to the bottom with firebricks. You can see those in the pics too. As to the previous discussion...

Variac is a good idea. Wouldn't truly control but once you found the balance point it would stay put.

Something like this might work: https://www.amazon.com/Temperature-Controller-C100FK02-V-110-240V-thermocouple/dp/B00RA0TWWA/ref=sr_1_8?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1465592915&sr=1-8&keywords=temperature+controller There are a number of very simple temp controller set-ups available but some don't...

Bumpity bump.

Too funny, I found that exact same piece at the local O'reillys for mine! On mine, the feed between the firebox and the cook chamber was big enough topass a whole chicken through before my mods. I ended up with an ellipse sized per the calculator. Here's another handy online tool to help with...

Pictures, what pictures? Smoker - "I picked up a COS (regular old Brinkman) from Craigslist for a whole $25 a while back and have been having fun since. I tried the smoker in "stock" form a couple times and with a couple minor mods, quickly realizing it needed a bit more help. I right-sized...

Sigh, created a photobucket account. If this doesn't work y'all will just have to imagine the pink smoke ring. LIttle piggy First slices with "chemical resistant" gloves.

Not sure what to make of that Fred, I can see them on multiple devices and it appears that others can see them on here (glove comment)?!? Bounce, any thoughts?

I use a LOT of jalapenos...LOL! No they are actually insulated BBQ gloves and I highly recommend them. You can't use them for handling the fire but they're fantastic for handling the cooking/cooked meat.

I think I got it! Hunk o' Flat End of the hunk. Ready to eat. This little piggy fell apart.

Thanks, Bounce. I'm not doing anything different than I have before so maybe my host has changed something. I can see the pics in the editor but they just will not post.

Hmmm.... still having pic problems - "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community."

I was just thinking about posting a link to amazingribs.com and stumbled across this thread! I picked up a COS from Craigslist for a whole $25 a while back and have been having fun since. I tried the smoker in "stock" form a couple times and with a couple minor mods, quickly realizing it...
