Brinkman mods

After reading up on all the mods that you can do to these smokers,  I decided to carry out a couple this afternoon.

First off was a fire basket to try and gain some sort of control over the coals.

The 2nd one which seems to be one of the most urgent ones is an air vent to help control the temp.

I've spent most of this morning cutting,  drilling and fixing.   I've taken out the crap thermo in the lid and made a cover to fit,  we now have a top vent if needed.  Below is my thermo grommet for the 4 probes,  no need to have the cables over the top edge and under the lid.

It's just a strip of alloy with a strip of silicone baking tray behind.  Eash hole has a X cut to allow the probes to pass and hopefully seal around them enough to stop a lot of smoke.

Last two are of the fire gaskets around the door & Lid....you can see the gap on photo 1 around the lid,  the rope I have was too thick so I've used the flat type and added 2 lots to try and lessen the gap.
