Brinkmann Cimarron Resto/Mod post

flyingbassman5 · 07-28-2015, 08:59 PM

Hey guys! Some of you may have seen I picked up an older Brinkmann Cimarron offset a few weeks ago. It was one of the better finds I've had on CL lately.

Anyway, tonight I spent sometime outside and got a few things cleaned up, restored, and modded. I added an expanded steel sheet to the firebox, 16 gauge steel sheet baffle, and 1/4" steel tuning plates. Also cleaned up the insides a bit and added a second therm. It's been fun!!

New expanded sheet in the firebox. Old one is still there but rusting out as you can see.

Second therm install.

Tuning plate and baffle install.

Now to fire her up and get it "tuned"!!!

I paid $150 for mine. Keep in mind, a similar one from Horizon would run you $900 plus shipping for a new one.
