And my horizontal Brinkmann with offset fire box has been given away and is no more.

I have had many grills, I always hate getting rid of one but sometimes you just have to let'em go. :P

I gave away a cheapo depot offset too, it was a Brinkmann as well. As far as I know though, it's still in use!

I'd rather put on the curb and have the non suspecting pick it up.

Or off to an auction!

I had a Brinkman that I used for several years before selling at a garage sale. Sadly, I had to work my way through a few other bargain smokers before I got my #3. :)

I bought it in the mid '90's; it smoked a ton of food. A friend of my son now has it.  Should serve him well for many years. If it becomes troublesome, I will certainly steer him to SI.

Well, I still have my old weber if I feel like going primitive.
