Raylam22 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Thanks for having me in this forum. My name is Ray and I live about 20 miles north of Boston. I just picked up a Brinkmann Trailmaster Egg off of Craig’s list for $250...it has never been used. It is actually Snap-On branded and I found this forum because you guys were talking about these a bit back in 2014-2015. Unfortunately, on my drive home I lost the top vent on the highway. I’m having a lot of trouble finding a suitable replacement as the inside diameter needs to be at least 6 inches. Any help and recommendations would be much appreciated.

KamadoJosephine Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 omfg the top vent flew off down the highway??!?!?!?! If you want to find it, just retrace your steps and look for the car crashed on the side of the road with a fist size hole in the windshield daninpd and Raylam22 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KismetKamado Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Have you looked for a Vision replacement? That is a rebranded Auplex Kamado and Vision is likely very similar as it is the most common Auplex brand of that size, I believe. I would try that. What is the size of the top vent opening?

daninpd Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 $250 for that setup? Whatever you do for the top vent, you are money ahead. Good buy! Look at a Tip Top Temp, that might replace whatever blew off. Raylam22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1brew Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Welcome aboard! I think @KismetKamado is right. It looks almost identical to some Vision models. I also like the cart that it comes in. Nice score at great price! Dracary seems to make one that works on some of the Auplex brand grills, it's about $60 on amazon. Be sure to check both id as well as od first. Good luck.

Raylam22 Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 I ordered the vision replacement and it looks like that should work. I’ll will post an update when it arrives. Thank you all for your help! KismetKamado 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylam22 Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 So the vision replacement was way too big....I’ve tried smokeware, the dracryus vision, and the big green egg replacements. I need something that is about 6 - 6.5 inches inside diameter to fit tight. Can anyone recommend a mod? @St1brew @KismetKamado KismetKamado 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKOBBQ Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 How big is "too big"? You could try wrapping a layer or two of felt gasket material around the chimney to get the cap to fit snug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1brew Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Do you have some more pictures of the inside where the top vent is as well as the bottom vent. So far I've come up with this:Brinkmann trailmaster egg replacement parts list! This is applicable if you do indeed have grill assembly 600-5000-A. The top vent part number would be 600-5000-1. The parts are "not available" but if you email someone at the site they may have a lead for you. The other thing I found when I typed in "Snap on Kamado top vent was this: 6 inch top vent from amazon. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylam22 Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 @TKOBBQ the inside diameter of the vision top was 8 1/4 inches....2+ inches more than what it needs to be. Is that too much space to make up with 2-3 layers of gasket material? @St1brew i also came across that site and noticed it was unavailable. I will try emailing the to see if they can help. As to the amazon link you provided, I believe that is 6 inches from edge to edge just like most of the others... Thanks for the recommendations!
