I purchase the After Burner from an advertisement on the Smoke Ring web site a few years back and used it on my old Smoker. I recently got the WSM Bullet and love it, but I hate trying to get the fire/smoke right every time. I found for me Gas works best, and I like spending my time getting the recipe right not worrying about the smoker. Also my wife isn’t a big BBQ fan so I can tailor the amount of smoke flavor. Gas allows me to get the smoke at low temps, and get a lot of wood flavor without getting the charcoal taste. Works great!! I love it!! Sorry I’m not the Smoker purist.
Check it out!!

Dan do what works for you, who cares what other think. Don't tell anyone but I put mayo on my Pulled Pork sammies. Why? cause I like it, and that's all that matters.

Dan,

I have a couple of the bullets and am thinking about converting one into gas for the same reasons you posted. You put links on for the pictures but I couldn't get them to work. could you post them again and let me know if it is still working out for you? I am thinking of getting the mini V afterburner. Also I am thinking of getting the propane temperature controller (http://www.turkey-fryers.com/scb001_temperature_control_valve.htm) and putting that inline to help keep the temp where I want it. Is it needed?

Thanks for any help!!

Bryan - Whitts BBQ in Decatur Alabama, which makes my favorite BBQ Sandwich in the entire universe putts a vinegar slaw and mayo on their pulled pork sandwiches - they are to die for! I'm with you!

Pat (sorry to hijack the threat - just couldn't resist this one!)

To keep it on topic - I have the afterburner page bookmarked and was thinking about getting one for one of my Brinkmann's so it would be useful, but I came up with my own design using the gas burner from an el cheapo table top gas grill. It looks like a well made, quality product and if I remember correctly, the afterburner is make by some good ole boys from here in Alabama.
