They stock here all "off-season" but only in the local streams/rivers which I haven't yet ventured to. Official season opener is 3/25 and then I'll be out a good bit before the bass spawn really kicks in.I caught these trolling in my Jon boat at a local lake. They stock it once a month starting in January. Can’t remember too many times it was open water in January and February as It’s usually at least partially frozen. I very rarely get out until March.
Here in Eastern WA State they start stocking some of the lowland ponds late Feb - mid March, so I might need to take a trip soon. There's a few ponds within half hour to hour from me, but some of my favorites are about 1.5 - 2 hrs away. Those ones are in some foothills to the Blue Mtns and have turkey and deer all over. I keep trying to talk the wife into a family camping trip in late April where I can sit for turkeys in the morning and afternoon, but come back and take them fishing around noon and evening. She says first we need a camp trailer since it still gets pretty cold at night that time of year, and she doesn't like being cold.

LOL. All I've ever seen my dad use to smoke with is an old Brinkman like you mention. He doesn't do the traditional bbq stuff (pulled pork, brisket or ribs), but he's smoked lots of ducks, geese, turkey and venison roasts on the thing over the decades. He now has a cheap dual fuel Char Griller or something along those lines, where one side is a propane grill and the other is charcoal (can't remember if it has an offset fire box or not), that he uses sometimes. He still uses the old Brinkmann bullet for turkey at least once a year.Crazy to think I bought that first green egg 8 years ago and this has turned into the best ( and no-bickering thread) on Archerytalk.
My first experience with a Brinkman bullet type smoker ( Cheap knock off of weber smoky mountain) … Is what made me search out something better. Started out with a medium, then added a mini max, and got a steal on a large on FB marketplace local sale. Gotta say out of all three of them, the mini max is my favorite.
I know everybody’s got their own personal preferences from stick burners to pellets to diy drum smokers to the ceramic kamados. There’s no right or wrong… Smoke em if you got em!!!

In the late summer when deer archery season starts up there, there's also wild blackberries, and wild fruit trees such as apples, pears and plums that are ripe that time of year from old homesteads. Usually by the late summer the ponds are fished out of all but the smartest trout, so spring and early summer are best for fishing.

How accurate is your MEATER with ambient temp?Trying something a little different, Poor mans brisket..lol. Doing a beef chuck roast.
Hopefully it will turn out ok! View attachment 7811852
Yeah I’m in the same boat. It’s 30-40 degrees off and drops connection all the time.rightt now, not very accurate..lol.. its off like 40 degrees from the smoker, having problems with losing signal. I am in the house and the smoker is in front of my garage its losing signal constantly. Thought I would like it but having some issues with it.
