    Master Forge Cart

    As I am unable to find a cover for my new MF, I decided I'd build a cart to move it in and out of the garage.  Mind you, it is NOTHING fancy, but it is solid and gets the job done. I built it out of 2"x4" pressure treated lumber.  I set the bottom pieces flat, applied some gorilla glue and...

    How long to cook tasters

    Thanks for the replies!  Today I did the gasket mod to my MF Double Door and built a cart to move in and out of the garage.  So, I think that I am ready for my first big smoke this weekend.  I'll be sure to post Qviews of both the cart build and first smoke!

    How long to cook tasters

    How long to cook tasters

    On Sunday, I am planning on smoking my first ever rack of St Louis style ribs (and only my second smoke).  I know that I can and should smoke the trimmings and use them as "tasters".  Couple of questions regarding the cooking: How long do I cook them How do I know when they are done. Thanks!

    Awesome build and the ribs look great!  When did you add the sauce - during the last hour?

    Greetings all - Just got myself a Master Forge Double Door smoker.  I've done a little indirect heat smoking with my standard gas grill, but now slowly entering the full-on smoking.  After reading these forums for awhile, figured the MF unit would be a good entry level piece of equipment until...
