Academy Sports has it again for $5+$5 shipping. http://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_10051_91711_-1__?N=563837868&Ntt=brinkmann+charcoal&Ntk=All You cannot beat this deal.

Looks like the you got the 18.5. You're going to have to bend the outer "legs" of that rib / roast rack in slightly to fit in the cooker. Try putting it in and you'll see what I mean. I wish someone had told me that before I loaded mine up with 4 racks only to find out it wouldn't fit. ;)...

I put my gasket on the inside of the CB door and did not gasket the where the main body meets the charcoal bowl. Air tight when shut down.

The instructions say to apply the gasket to the smoker body around the door cutout, but I did the inside of the CB door. Works great.

So what were the results of this test? Jerky looks really good!! :)

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.

Gets drill ready. ;) Also, if I'm seeing that pic correctly, it looks as though they've switched to hex head instead of slotted head for the grill strap bolts.

Little less than $1 per lb. using this as reference. http://www.doitbest.com/search-trager.dib There are lots of venues to buy pellets though.

Ya, don't think the 18.5" lid will work on a UDS. Good thinking though.

19 hrs for 60 lbs. is really not that bad. I had one 8 pounder that took 21 hrs. That is one nice load of great lookin pork. Very good job! :)

Ya, cool concept, but 30' range max line of sight will have limited applications for me.

Another good suggestion. Thanks! :)

Tri-tip cooked like a true Californian! ;) Great cook as always Jim. :)

Oh, I exclusively use the brinkmann pan. Actually have another as a backup for the exact reasons you stated. My stock pan has never seen action.

For the 18.5 it's the 14". I have one but have yet to use it. I spent a year or so fighting temps with a modified ECB with the water pan filled with construction sand and foiled over. Self inflicted torture, yes, but I learned a ton (especially about fire control), so it was worth it IMO. Got...

It doesn't matter what I'm cooking or how long I anticipate the cook to be, I always use a base of unlit...most of which is left over from previous cooks. I'll vary the amount of lit depending on what temps I'm looking for. I don't see it as a waste of fuel, because once I shut all vents down...

Link works. :) Nice job on the casters and grommets. Smart to scratch the leg bottoms on concrete to find center.

Link still doesn't work, but your grommets look good. :) Your link should open like this:https://picasaweb.google.com/101860977640827686320/2013070902?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCLPfvZ2I7siD-wE&feat=directlink To verify your link is visible to others, open an incognito or private browsing window...

Still not working. That link is for your personal album which cannot be viewed by others. In Picasa, make sure the album privacy is set "Limited, anyone with the link". Then you may link to that album.

Well, if you go the AMNPS route, hit me up if you have any questions. Best thing to get is a pencil torch fueled by propane, butane or MAP gas. You just have to light it and let it flame for 10 minutes (important), then blow the flame out, put it on your charcoal grate with all vents open and...
