This is my first smoke on my Modified Masterbuilt XL, I added the wheels on the bottom, it makes it sooo easy to move
Can AMNPS be used in this smoker? Just asking........
I use a combination of items to maintain the low temps. The XL wants to climb over 200°—so in order to keep it in the range of 150-160, I set the XL on its lowest output and reduce the flow even further with the additional ball valve I added. For kielbasa, I prewarm the smoker to 110-120° & hang the sausage to dry. This requires careful monitoring of the gas/flame/temp as it still wants to climb. Thats actually almost too low for this gasser. sometimes I'm insert an electric kitchen hot plate and let that do the preliminary warming. This will heat the box in the 120-140 range without the hassle of gas-regulation. After an hour, I add smoke (amnps) & let it cruise from 130-140° for the next couple of hours. The last hour or so, I kick the temps up with gas to 150-160°—but I always finish my sausages in a hot water bath, not in the smoker.Dont want to hijack this thread but Kevin can you please tell me how low can you go on temperature? Like for kielbasa can I go as low as 120F and so on up to 165F? I am thinking about getting XL for summer use with amnps in it.
