    Masterbuilt Propane Smoker WILL NOT STAY LIT

    I have a 1 1/2 year old MB 20050716 Masterbuilt Propane smoker with the glass door. It worked fine for about 4 smokes, but now, it will not stay lit. When I go to start it, i push in the selector and turn it counterclockwise to high like it saves. When I hit the igniter it roars to life, and...

    oklahoma joe's smoker?

    Those look wonderful. What do you do to get the nice smooth sheen on the finished product. What cut of meat do you use?

    oklahoma joe's smoker?

    I have an Okie Joe and love it. Once you get a vial base it is very easy to regulate the temperature and keep the fire going. Pork butts, ribs, briskets, chickens, etc come out mouth watering and so tender. For the price it bears everything out there.

    Spatchcocked chickern and baby back ribs

    I am planning to cook 3 chickens and 2 racks of ribs on Sunday for my son's 40th birthday. I've got the 3-2-1 ribs done great, but I cannot find my smoked chicken directions. If I smoke them both at the same time at 240 degrees, how long will the chickens take? I have a Real Smokey Joes smoker...

    Eastern NC Pulled Pork

    I am originally from Eastern NC and love my pork BBQ. I have used Boston Butts for most of my smokes and they have all come out well. I tried several picnics because in NC they cut up a little skin and put it in with the BBQ and I love it that way,. My skin has always been too tough to cut into...

    Is there a difference between picnic and the butt

    I have always used a pork butt for my pulled pork, but I am smoking a picnic shoulder, right now, because I like the NC BBQ with a little skin in it. ( I am leaving the skin on!) My question is do we do anything different. I am smoking at 230 to 250 and plan to cook till it reaches 195 IT. Is...

    oklahoma joe's smoker?

    I have both the Okie Joe as well as the Weber Kettle and there is no comparison. They are both great for grilling, with Weber being better, but for smokin' meat, you can't beat an Okie Joe. I made all the mods talked about here and I wouldn't trade it fore $1900Horizon.

    Brisket danger?

    I too was overly concerned about the 4 hour "witching hour" for contamination. I cook some large pork butts and briskets, so I was concerned.  When you think about the probe and decide it is of no real use except to make you feel better seeing the temp rise, don't put it in until later! I wait 2...
