    Establishing some benchmarks

    I have the same smoker.. What I do to keep the chips from flaming is wrapping the chips in foil and poking a bunch of holes.. Seems to work well Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 4

    brisket cutting suggestion

    This weekend I plan to try my first brisket.  I have the master forge 2 door smoker and a whole brisket wont fit on one rack.  I will have to cut it.  Can anyone offer any advice on the best way to cut it pre-smoking?  Or should I just cut it in half and stop over-analysing?

    Should I put insulation rope around the inside of doors in my new Master Forge propane smoker?

    It's the smoker I have.  The silicone is a pain in the ass..  Just get an oven door gasket or the big green egg felt.

    Beginner Looking for advice on Propane Smoker

    i just recently went through the same decision processing as you are doing.  I narrowed it to a few units and agonized over which features I'd most appreciate.  I ended up with the masterforge from lowes.  I picked it because it is a 2 door with a sturdy shelf on the side and wheels for easy...

    Very thick baby back ribs

    I'm doing my 2nd smoke today with 3 racks of baby back ribs I got at my local meat shop.  I'm a little concerned about how thick 1/2 of the racks are.  I was planning on doing a 2-2-1 method but now I'm not sure.  I will be cutting them in half to separate the thicker sides from the thinner...

    1st timer ribs on new smoker

    I pulled the trigger on a gas master forge smoker from Lowes last week and today was the maiden voyage... I bought a couple big spare ribs and trimmed them to a st. Louis style.. Made a delicious rub based on the the "bilbo" style found on this site.. Then I made a Dr pepper based bbq sauce...

    AMNPS for Masterbuilt XL?

    not to hijack this, but in a gas smoker if you use the tube, do you still add chips/chunks?  or do the pellets replace them..  very new to this and trying to learn

    1st timer looking for recommendations

    Well I think I have narrowed it down to either the masterforge 2-door or the masterbuilt xl..  The masterforge is a little less $ and I can get locally.. The masterbuilt I have to order and have shipped.  Is the extra width on the racks really worth it?  Thats really the only feature stopping me...

    new guy from MA

    1st timer looking for recommendations

    So I have watched bbq pitmasters enough and sure have eaten enough bbq to try it out myself.  I have been looking at a few different models.  I am looking to keep it sub $200 for a gas vertical smoker.  I had kind of decided on the "master forge" from lowes.  Seems a good value at $179.  I dont...
