    Newbie With A Master Forge Propane Smoker

    I haven't had a problem with mine. Either low temps for jerky or high temps crisping my chickens. I had to play around with the vents and added a cast iron chip box. I've been very happy with mine and have used it a lot.

    Materbuilt Products

    The only propane smoker on the Masterbuilt website in the 7-in-1. The one's for sale at Bass Pro are not on the website. Does this mean they are discontinued? I want to buy a smoker and was leaning towards getting one at the nearby Bass Pro. Guess I'll be ordering the 3405BGW from Walmart.

    Master Forge at Lowes

    I was at Lowes in Md looking for the Master Forge Smoker. The only one in stock was the floor model and I was told by a Lowes Employee that they would not be getting anymore and that the model would be replaced by something else but he couldn't tell me what.
