Hello my name is Tim from the state of Iowa. I am a beginner smoker but I have been smoking on a charcoal side mount indirect. I have had some good success, but for Father Day and my Bday combined, my wife and kids bought me the Masterbuilt 40 inch from Sams club. I call it the Holy Grill!!!! I have gone past it many time while in SAMS and I would just hug it. My wife got the hint. My first meal was tonight where I made Baby backs that I made a dry rub last night and I rub them and vacuum sealed them for 24 hours. I put them on my Masterbuilt and I fed new chips in about 5 time during the 5 hours or so. I also made Smoke Mac and Cheese. It was alright but really smoky and on the bitter side. My smoker was set at 250 then reduced to about 175. Not sure what I did wrong. Any advise? Looking forward to my next adventure. I did go and clean the creasode out of the smoker so it is clean for the next time.
