Hi jmcomber..

To use your Brinkman,Luhr Jensen Smoker or Other Smokers

1... Marinate or place a rub on the meat you will be smoking, and let it sit for a few hours or over night in the refrigerator.
2...Cover your wood chips with water(and if you wish you can add some Jim Beam Whisky or other flavorfull liquids in a bowl with the water, 1 inch above the wood chips and use a flat peice of metal (pie pan,etc.)to weigh the wood chips down underwater.
3...Start a fire in the smoker having the fire below the meat, use hardwood or charcoal,
Once they are coated with gray ash, you can place the meat on the racks.
I would place an aluminum drip pan under the center portion of the cooking area on your smoker, to catch the juices from the meat.
4...Place the meat in the smoker on the grilling surface, and place the wood chips over the charcoal and hardwood in the main grilling area Close the lid and do not open it unless you must add wood chips during the cooking process.
5...Continue adding wood chips to the tray as needed during the time you are cooking.
If you have a Brinkmann or other smoker with one chamber for placing the wood chips and the meat, add wood chips only once per hour.
6...Apply your sauce to the meat one hour before the meat should be done.
Test your meat with a thermometer for for an internal tempreture of 160 degrees for medium and 170-180 degrees for medium well to well
Note: Apply the sauce quickly to avoid loosing the heat in your smoker if you leave it open too long it will allow the heat and smoke to escape, increasing the cooking time.
Close the lid if it needs to continue cooking till you reach the right internal tempreture
7...Test your meat with a meat thermometer after a few hours of cooking time.
Make sure your meat is at least 160 degrees internal tempreture for medium and more than 170 degrees for medium to well.
Close the lid and maintain your heat if it needs to continue cooking.

Hope this helped you.

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

It is not uncommon, for plugs that connect direct to heating elements. The left socket is the high resistance side, and heat is generated, so the socket deforms. The cord is made in china, and they are cheap.

The permanent fix, would be to hard-wire the the heat element wiring to a new style heavy duty cord, rated for 20 amps

I am on my third cord. I love the smokers, and own 2 but the cord design stinks. You can clean the contacts all you want, but one always heats up, gets soft, loses its spring, and causes a weak contact. When that happens, it arcs, melts, and finally burns out. You can google "smokehouse cord" and find suppliers from $17.00 to $23.00 (smokehouseproducts.com). I'd like to hardwire a solution or make a replaceable head. If somebody has a good, safe design for this, let me know.

Do you soak your chips prior to use? Then pile the chips on the end are of the coals and let the heat grow to incorporate the soaked chips, place the chips in a cone shaped pile, this will let them smoke from the bottom-up.

get some oven cleaner spray on, let sit for about 10 or 15 mins then rinse it off with water will not hurt the grill

Where are the instructions

Have you looked at the thermocouple .

Hi, Carole. According to the Wiki article on Halal, it is an Arabic word meaning "permissible," referring to food, objects or actions. With respect to food it is similar in intent to the Hebrew word, "Kosher." In both Islam and Judaism, for example, pork is not considered permissible. There is much more to know about Halal, but I'll defer to our Islamic neighbors to answer more fully. Short answer: entirely safe. Enjoy!

glo-warm doesnt sell a conversion kit since they have propane version they sell the propane unit --their are universal conversion kits but you would need to check if their compatible to the glo warm unit
