what is the width and the depth of the opening? can you run a full brisket through it?

I haven't measured it. Might be 14" wide at most. Basically gallon bag width or a bit more. It'd have to be a medium to small brisket, or at least cut skinny enough to fit in a freezer bag for width. You can make the bags as long as you like, though - no "depth" issues.

Yes, and if its a really big brisket they have expandable bags that I have used to seal a turkey with. You can store a raw brisket or a cooked brisket but you cannot cook a brisket in the bag. Food savers website will have dimensions, but it is a very small footprint

Give yourself a generous amount of bag length past the end of the meat, maybe even 5" on each end and you'll be ok. The bag needs to be FLAT in the mouth of the sealer opening without puckers. Ordinary grocery store brisket I've seen should be ok. There's always the knife you can use to put in smaller portions! Had mine about two months and love it.

The food does not "go through it ". The edge of the bag is placed inside the opening, then the vacuum begins and the bag is then sealed.

I use the regular size one - there are just 2 of us too. It works just fine for small amounts (such as a couple of pieces of salmon). This weekend I smoked a brisket in it for about an hour, then switched to the oven. It was delicious - and it never would have fit into the mini. If you have the storage space by all means give yourself the flexibility of the regular size smoker

Because of the rounded back end you can go 11" deep. The width is a hair under 13". I can use a Corning French Whit casserole w/ lid if I use the drip pan to set it on (without the grilling insert).

It's about 18 inches wide and maybe 12 inches deep in terms of cooking area---I'll pull it out and measure it to be sure, but I think that's about right. Overall dimensions are 23.7" X 15.7" X 13.6", but grill space is obviously smaller than that.

Inside grill is 11 1/2 inches long 8 inches wide. I have 5-6 nice hamburgers on it. With the lid adjustment for height I cooked sausage and chicken, thighs and legs. Also great for cooking bacon when you need a lot of slices cooked.

The hinge isn't adjustable, but I've had success cooking many different cuts, up to a steak that was nearly 2 inches thick. The sides still cooked well even though the grill didn't close the entire way.

The opening in 4 inches in diameter. You will have to be the judge on this issue.

Yes, 1 turkey will fit or 3 large briskets at one time! If briskets are small, 4 will fit!

Depends on the size of the beef brisket. The bag will allow a piece of meat 28 or less inches AROUND to be slid in. The bag is 15 ¾ inches DEEP without closing it. If you want to seal the bag tight, figure only about 12 or 13 inches DEEP. Why not get a new/clean kitchen bag and rubber bad the top. I don't think any of the marinade will dissolve the bag--I hope for your sake. Good eating. David

I purchased the same grills and I'm very happy with my purchase. I measured the inside of my BBQ from the back lip where the grill sits to the front where the grill rest and you can compare the length to the diagram provided. Do the same for width.

Close to about a inch across. It's pretty big and deep just make sure you have some screens and that it won't over heat. If you use it too much the plastic around the bowl will start to burn producing a bad smell and smoke.

There is about 3/8" clearance, not quite half an inch. I've cooked 10 chicken legs in it at a time, and they've turned out moist, with plenty of room for drippings.

This unit has inside dimensions as follows:9 1/2" in diameter and 7" deep. I have not cooked any roasts yet, but have hadno problems with any items. It works great.

Hi Trent ... I gave this as a Christmas gift to my son. It's certainly big enough for a small family's composting needs: about (and I'm guessing from memory) 36" in diameter but pretty deep. Does this help?

It is not deep enough to fit logs AND grill on top of the cooking grill at the same time. As far as cooking is concerned, I have been told not to burn coals on it, but I ignored the warnings and have cooked on it with hot coals more then once and it did not ruin my pit so far.

Roughly the size if your thumb, it's got a decent depth as well, you should be able to smoke cigar butts. Just be weary, mine had cracks in the varnish inside the bowl and I had to do some work to make it so the pipe itself didn't burn, just make sure you inspect it before lighting up.

The feed tube is approx. 4 3/4 inches wide. 3/4 of an inch thick is all I ever run, anything thicker and it is almost impossible to turn the handle.I usually cut beef 3x3x1/2 - 3/4 size. I run it through 3 times for chicken fried steak or country fried steak. Run through, turn 1/4 and run through, turn 1/4 and run it through again - it really grows, so you have a large size piece to work with.
