Brinkman Smoker

For the price, the Brinkman smoker is not a bad deal. Many first time meat smoking pitmasters had their beginnings with one of these. Affectionately know as the ECB, or El Cheapo Brinkman, these charcoal smokers actually have a bit of a following.



Brinkmann charcoal smokers, even though inexpensive, can do a great job of smoking meats. More expensive charcoal smokers are built with better and sturdier materials. They have better controls and attachments, and will last longer. And they will do a better job than the ECB. But dollar for dollar, the Brinkman smoker ain't no slouch.

Nothing's perfect, and the same can be said for the ECB. However, improvements can be made that will make this little $30 charcoal smoker cook like a, well...better one!

If you are handy, or know someone that is, try out these El Cheapo Brinkman Modifications. The improved airflow and added controls help with temperature control. And the mods are cheap, too!

And as a disclaimer, I have to say that I do not recommend these modifications...use them at your own risk. Harm to property or person could result from attempting to modify your Brinkman smoker. OK. Enough said.

There aren't too many bargains today. Pick up a Brinkman charcoal smoker sometime and give it a try. It may end up being a simple pleasure.
