Gator,

Could you please point me towards a good link on that if you have one?

I want a WSM, but I can't afford $400 for a 22.5" WSM right now, so the $39 Brinkmann Smoke n' Grill (natural fuel, vertical smoker) at home depot is rather tempting...

TIA.

there is a BBQ forum that I have been part of for quite a while, thesmokering.com

I have used it for ideas, mods for my char-griller w/sfb Never steered me wrong

Sorry brother... I don't have a link. Basically though, the SNG has air leaks in the wrong places. You need to seal up the seams and drill some air intake holes in the bottom. There is some info out there... I just don't have it.

BTW... unless you really need the acreage, the 18 inch WSM is a great cooker.
