    Three butts.

    Looks good!   Interesting, so do you cook them the whole time in the pans?  And did you add liquid to the pan yourself or is that all just drippings?  I've seen the pan used on a shelf underneath, but haven't seen this before (though I'll admit being new to the game).   Do you always do it this...

    Debating electric vs propane for first smoker, looking for feedback.

    Thanks for the update! Yeah I dont mind having to adjust the temp from time to time, I expect that as long as I dont need to be going outside every 10 mins because of wild swings. Thanks!

    Thanks!  I looked for a general "smokers" forum but only found the two different forums for electric and propane so after a day or so I decided to re-post to the other one since my topic really touched both and I was afraid I was limiting my audience to only half.    But pointed noted...thanks!

    Master Forge Propane mods

    Oh, one more thing I was wondering....with the lip on the door and the rope gasket you put on do yiu have any problems at all with the temperature probes running through the door? Or do you run them another way...like drilling small holes in the side or something?

    Thanks Sarge, appreciated!  That may be good for those in the US, but for us Canadians it's not really an option.   But thanks!

    Master Forge Propane mods

    Thanks ameskimo1!   Yes, that's the one Masterbuilt one I am also consindering.  I did a lot of reading on it and everyone seems to love it, after dealing with what seem to be issues with the water pan and wood box.  I'm just really disappointed by their lousy warranty (one of the key reasons...

    Master Forge Propane mods

    Ok thanks, I appreciate the input.  I noticed that the demo unit at Lowes seems like the burner was pretty much completely exposed, no protective ring or anything like that, so yeah it seems like it would get lots of air just from the bottom.   But I wasn't sure if this was just the demo model...

    Master Forge Propane mods

    Hi guys, I was at Lowes tonight checking out the Master Forge dual door unit again, and am seriously considering it (over the Masterbuilt similar model)....any thought on this? To me, the construction seems to be better, and the warranty is better, I'm wondering though I guess about the temps...

    Debating between electric and propane...looking for input

    Thanks for the input!  Yes, I think I've decided to go with the gas one.   Currently really leaning towards the Master Forge dual door model from Lowes. Daniel

    Debating between electric and propane...looking for input

    Hi all, I've started looking at different options for my first smoker, and and it seems everything I look at has pros and cons, so it's kind of confusing. I've been looking at the Masterbuilt Electric ones and the propane/dual ones. Here are some of my observations based or my reading of...
