After going through 3 simple charcoal smokers, I got a Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite propane smoker from Cabela's for my birthday. It's been seasoned and I'm smoking meat today.  We will see how it goes. I am a little concerned about how often to open the door to check on the wood chips, how long to leave the wood chips in the smoker and what to do with the vent/damper (those are not addressed in the owners manual).  

I generally smoke pork butt, brisket, turkey and ribs. Thanks for offering a board with so much information.

to SMF!  We are so glad you joined us! 

We love to see pictures of what you are cooking (or what we call q-views here at SMF).  To "upload the q-views" just follow the directions here and it will be easier. If you are using a cell phone, an IPad or a kindle, go to the main SMF page and click the Mobile button. Will make the uploads a bit faster too.

If you didn't read the "SMF User Guidelines" .....please do.  There are a few things that everyone should know about those pesky little rules before plunging into the forums and some guidelines of how to interact within the forums. Off site links are not allowed here at SMF per TulsaJeff. Not that you have done anything wrong....just a little bit of FYI for new members!

If you need any help roaming around the forums....just holler!  Happy to help out!
