Suzanne, I really like my GREEN Brinkman non-electric. I vaguely remember
years ago being told by 'Heads it would be so-so for peppers, that there
were others better suited. I'm thinking it was because it would be harder
to regulate the temp and keep it consistent consistently (LOL!).
Anyway, I really really like mine for "smoking/cooking". I've never truly
smoked anything - like fish/jerky/etc. - that could be put away when done,
but have done steaks, roasts, chicken, ribs, etc., with marvelous, tastey
results. Whenever I use the water pan, I always pour the used marinade in
and then dilute with a titch o'water. I keep some o'the marinade back so I
can replenish as the water/marinade evaportes during cooking. And add a bit
more water, too. If not diluted, it cooks!
Place whatever you desire in that water! Many a time when I've not
marinated whatever I'm cooking, I toss stuff (chilpotles and garlic) into
the water. Have picked mint fresh from the garden and tossed in when doing
lamb. Use lemonade, OJ, bouborn, beer, vermouth - whatever! You're only
limited by your imagination!

Anyway, I just bought a 12-pound turkey and plan on smoking (yep, mighty big
papers) it in a Brinkman (non-electric) this weekend. I am going to try
placing garlic, chiles, and orange juice in the bowl instead of just water.
