So I came across this thread via google and found some good ideas for modding the brinkmann vertical to maintain heat better. Drilled about a dozen holes in the fire bowl this morning and I'll be heading to Ace to get wood chunks instead of the chips I've been using.
I'm curious though, since we're talking about maintaining heat, what about external insulation on this thing? I'm gonna use oven gasket to seal the doors, and probably use fire brick or ceramic tiles and lava stone on the bottom below the fire bowl to help maintain heat, but I've come across some other decent smokers and they seem to be of a thicker or heavier gauge material leading to less heat loss, which brought me to the insulation idea.
I've got the newer vertical, the two-door model.
