Thanks Rick. I kinda figured that the Brinkman would be ok after mods. Believe it or not, even the Brinkmann seems a little big for me. Most of the time its just me or me and my son. I'm still toying with the idea of the Cobb.
I got a reply on the used Brinkmann so I will look at it on Sunday when I visit my brother.

Thats a fine rig you have there David. I think I'd have to add an extension to my balcony to fit it. Did I forget to mention I already have a 16' canoe out there?

I got a chance to look at a Cobb today at a local dealer. Its basically a stainless steel mini bullet style smoker thats set to burn hot. With minor mods to add dampers to the air intake and exsaust I'm confident it could be turned into a mini-smoker.
The thing is really well designed. The bottom air intakes come in to the side of the borning area through a baffle and coals are put in an elevated basket so that ash won't smother the coals.

I think the folks in the store would have taken me for nuts if I pulled out a camera. I will definately post pics of whatever I buy.
Speaking of nuts, I was amazed that you could buy a plc that would control the burn in your smoker.

There's all kinds of gadgets for different smokers. Just about anything you can come up with, they have it.

Just like audio I suppose. Some of the smokers I have looked at in the past week could feed a small army.

I'm now the proud owner of a used Brinkmann for all of $35 CDN. I'll post pics when I have done some mods.

Congrats, looking forward to the pics of the smoker and the bbq that comes from it.

Realizing that you already purchased, I am +1 on the rotisserie. I bought an fairly expensive grill from BBQGALORE.Com a few years ago as I got tire of replacing the Lowes/Home Depot varieties every 4 or 5 years. It has a rotiss and it gets excellent results. The grill is Australian design - which means it is designed to cook very hot with the lid up. However, since it has 4 burners, you can do low or indirect heat as well. I have not regretted the purchase.........Rob
