Good morning Red!
Thank you very much for the information. Honestly I wouldn't have known you can adjust the temperature haha... I guess I'll go ahead and make sure I do that in addition to using my Smoke from
ThermoWorks.
I think I'm going to stick with your recommendation on not using any liquid in the pan. I took your advice without using liquid in my other little red and things came out better. So I'm sure it'll come out better with this smoker as well.
I will definitely look into the
AMNPS. Where can that be purchased by the way? How much does it typically cost?
Another thing Red, so I got in contact with
MasterBuilt just because I had a situation come up. You know when you install the top controller unit, where the screw goes into place on top of the unit? Basically when you line up the screw on the top (not the back) and shift the controller "forward" to lock into place. Well, there's this white sticky tape material sort of thing where the hole is. I asked the rep at
MasterBuilt if I'm supposed to remove it or just leave it alone and put the controller on there and he told me to just put it on there. I wanted to make sure I'm doing it right. The rep also gave me some pointers when I was talking to him which is to wipe down the inside of the smoker with water and vinegar after every single use. I don't think I'm going to do that... Based off of what I've researched and what you recommended, that's "seasoning". So why would the rep advise me to clean it every single time?
OH! And the last thing... I noticed when I was wiping down the "seal" around the door, the inside of the seal (not the outer) is not really sticking; especially on the bottom. Like where they would put glue to hold it in place, it didn't stick. I noticed on the left, right, and top side of the seal; its not glued at all. Well, at least not like the bottom. The bottom has some glue here and there but not fully glued. So I asked the rep and just as a safety precaution, he's going to be sending me another door since my unit is brand new. Have you ever heard of this seal problem? I know its hard to read this and picture what I'm talking about. But hopefully you understand...
Thank you Red!!
