Posting because it's still warm and sunny. What! You don't BBQ in the rain? I've already started my second 5 lb can of propane. I get about 20 BBQ per 5 lb can. |

Posting because it's still warm and sunny. My roommate would be insulted by this discussion. She is from Oklahoma and would say what you are doing is grilling. BBQ involves meat cooked for 4 to 16 hours over moist low heat. The results are smokey falling off the bone meat. We have a small smoker at home and cook up a big batch of food to be rationed out over the next few weeks. It keeps well in the freezer. |

Posting because it's still warm and sunny. I consider cooking with propane as grilling as well. I got a smoker, but I still have yet to figure out how to do it right. Maybe this summer I'll polish my skills a bit and try to smoke some fish. |

Posting because it's still warm and sunny. If you think I can be of help, feel free to PM me. We wore a smoker out and I just replaced the pans in the newer one again. We don't do much fish, but that's one that takes very little time. Our favorites are baby back ribs and rock cornish game hens. We use charcoal with mesquite chips but have used hickory in the past. |

Posting because it's still warm and sunny. Sounds like a plan. Mine has small metal dishes for both the water and the charcol/wood chips to be mixed. I did use it once to smoke some ribs, but it was also cold, so it was hard to keep the temps up. So hopefully with the summer it'll help keep the temps high enough to cook the meat as well as give it that good smoke flavor. When it gets time, I'll probably PM ya, thanks! |

Posting because it's still warm and sunny. This smoker is like ours. Cold or windy days can be a problem. You might consider construction a fold up shield you can put around the smoker if you have much trouble with the weather. You can use cardboard in a pinch because the outside temperature is just a little over boiling. Also, starting out with boiling water in the pan speeds things up a good deal. We put wet wood chips on top the charcoal to get the all the flavor out of them we can. If possible, soak the chips over night. |

Mine is a Brinkman also, but its not listed on their site. Its a rectangular shaped one, with 4 vents, 2 on the left and right sides, top and bottom. Never thought about using boiling water, I'll have to try that. I soak the chips for about 6 hours, but I'll have to try overnight. And I always place the chips on top of the charcoal. We'll see hopefully in a couple weeks. I got mesquite and hickory chips. |

We think mesquite is good for the game hens and ribs as they don't have a real strong flavor. Hickory might be better for beef as beef has a strong flavor. It is personal and you may also have access to fruit wood, something we haven't played with at all. In the south west, mesquite wood is common. Sometimes it is even considered a weed and used for firewood. Makes you think when you shell out the money for a little bag of chips. |

Cool. I'll have to see if there's any fruit wood chips, I haven't seen any, but really wasn't looking hard either. LOL Yeah, a bag of woodchips is nuts, wish I could just grow my own and chip it myself. LOL Or get a big smoker, so I can throw logs in. |

You can use chunks if you don't soak them in water. The water is intended to make the chips last longer but that's not a problem if you have wood chunks. You can also get a bigger bag from Brinkman. |

My neighbor was getting rid of his smoker. It's a Brinkman smoker that needs some TLC and a wire brush, and a paint-job, it'll be as good as new. All I had to do was spot him a beer and some company and we're even. It looks similar to this one. |
