    @OldSmoke Roger that. Looks like I have a new project for next weekend. Are you using the stock water pan? Anything on the burner?

    Masterbuilt Vertical 2 door Smoker Mods

    Hey guys, I wanted to make an update. I know this is not specifically related to mods for our Masterbuilt smokers, but I think it's good info. I bought a smoke tube off of Amazon last week and gave it a try yesterday when I smoked a 4lb pork shoulder. Prior to using this tube I used an 8" cast...

    Masterbuilt Vertical 2 door Smoker Mods

    Hey DRKsmoking, I honestly can't take any credit for these mods, less the welded skirts. This forum is a wealth of information, and seriously awesome. I've been a tinkerer for a long time, and can't leave anything stock. Thankfully with a little elbow grease and some time, one can take a pretty...

    Masterbuilt Vertical 2 door Smoker Mods

    @BJMRamage the Needle Valve I installed is in line halfway to the stock valve/heat adjuster. I bought this one, but I am sure anything similar will work. I have read on this forum that the regulator on these units are low pressure, so search for the proper Needle valve on this forum. You are...

    Making a wind block

    @yamalube , I have the MB 30" unit and just last week welded in skirts to block the wind. If you dont have access to a welder you can still acheive similar results with sheet metal screws. The mod was a huge success this weekend and with 10-15mph winds I had no issues.

    Masterbuilt Vertical 2 door Smoker Mods

    @OldSmoke, your mods are really nice!! I too added a needle valve and felt gasket around all doors. I smoked a pork shoulder on Saturday with the new skirts welded in ( I know the welds aren't pretty, but I'm working with a HFT flux core unit) and with the 25 degree temp and 10-15 mph winds I...

    Masterbuilt Vertical 2 door Smoker Mods

    ChuxPix, you were correct in your thinking. My unit is the Masterbuilt 2 door vertical propane smoker, which has only 1 vent at the very top of the rear. I welded the bottom areas in yesterday to block the wind. Masterbuilt 2 Door Propane Vertical Smoker

    Masterbuilt Vertical 2 door Smoker Mods

    I have thought of using a welding blanket, but as I said earlier, I welded the openings on the base shut today. There is a small vent window for the hose out of the front lower side beneath the flame adjuster. I think this will greatly help reduce the issues I've had with wind. These Amazen...

    Masterbuilt Vertical 2 door Smoker Mods

    Hello all, I've had this smoker for a little over a year now. Thanks to all of the various tips on modding the Masterbuilt propane units! First mod I did was the cast iron pan replacing the hardly useful chip tray the unit came with. I place the 8" cast iron directly on the burner ring, and have...

    How do I get my masterbuilt to 250deg

    You need to install an inline needle valve. This has made using the Masterbuilt so much easier.
