    Masterbuilt XL Propane - Mailbox Mod - Heavy QView - Need Some Help!

    I did this mod a few years ago and it seemed to help the air flow.  I just got the AMNPS tray so I'll be doing the mailbox mod soon.  Hopefully I won't have the problem with smoke going back to the mailbox with the smoke stack mod...

    That is really weird.  I've had mine for a couple years now and have always struggled to keep the temp below 270*.  I just installed the Bayou Classic regulator hose with the valve to try and get lower temps but haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

    There's adhesive on the back of it.  It's a little wider than the frame so I just took a razor blade and trimmed it after it was installed.

    For the gasket, I used this stuff.  http://www.bbqgaskets.com/catalog_2.html    I used the 450* wool(grey).  So far, I have no complaints.

    Smokers, Whats your age and how long have you been smoking???

    41 and relatively new to smoking.  Had a Weber kettle for a long time and cooked a lot using the 2 zones.  Finally learned about the "snake" method a few years back and was able to keep the kettle down to 225* which opened up a new door for me.  Finally got a Masterbuilt XL last Christmas and...
