Ocean Springs, Ms.
Used the new Master built 40" today. It leaked moisture from the glass seal quite a bit, leaving a puddle on the porch. I was very disappointed. Then I took out the quarters and thought they were too strong, almost creosote. Then the girls came home and tasted them and loved them. That was surprising to me as they are such food critics. The ribs are still in there with about another few minutes to go. I had them on the top rack. If I get the door problem solved I think I will like this thing. It leaks smoke around the door as well. Moist smoke rising cannot be good for the control panel for very long. Anyone ever had this door problem?
 
Ron, morning..... Sounds to me.... the problem is the exhaust vent is not wide open....  Open the vent and leave it open while smoking....  Also sounds like you had a water tray in the smoker.... I don't use water in my smoker ..... I don't want to steam the meat.... I like it smoked....  Also, you can pull the chip tray out an inch or so for more air flow.... use less chips at one time.... that will get rid of the creosote taste.....   Dave
