    Master Forge 33" Electric Smoker

    I saw this today at Lowes and was ready to buy as it looks to be good quality, has great features, and pretty darn inexpensive.  Checked out the reviews on Lowes website and for the most part, not so good.  It seems the electronics in the unit are complete junk.  BTW, it looks just like this...

    Don't understand how it "looks" flimsy but I can guaranee you it is not flimsy. As far as cooking anyything else, I imagine it will do fine. I am sure if you go to your local Home Depot, they will have a model of it put together for you check out. Only that ticks me off is they offered it on...

    What Brand or Kind of Charcoal to use...?

    I am getting better with the straight wood no charcoal fires. I found it is best to use less wood and have a little more patience to start. I also cut the chunks a little smaller this last time. Also I find newspaper is the best way to start it vs other paper. However, when it is all done...

    Simple cold smoker build

    The irons are sitting a good half inch or more above the bottom on an upside down baking pan. Not a lot heat gets down. I have used this several times since the build 3 months ago, it has been tried and tested with zero failure. It has smoked in out 80+ degree days (in the shade of course)...

    Simple cold smoker build

    LOL, how much heat do you think a COLD smoker builds? Not enough to worry about that is for sure. I find it funny that people worry more about the plastic then they do a cardboard box.

    What Brand or Kind of Charcoal to use...?

    For ease of use I have always used Kingsford and gasp at the fact that I have even used their matchlight. lol But charcoal does not give the flavor that wood does and wood is free for me. However, it is a little harder to light the charcoal. So when I am having trouble getting the all wood...

    Simple cold smoker build

    Just wanted to update. I have used this thing dozens of times and it still works fantastic. No puddles of plastic or any other malfunctions. My only regret is that I wish I would have bought a bigger tub so I could put the trays on the sides of the rack for easier reloading but no biggy...

    I will try the wallyworld dough (is it made in China like everything else they sell? j/k) I have been buying Real Ny Pizza Dough ( http://rnypd.com/ ) which is excellent dough but just not really designed for super high heat.  I agree though, the stone is too hot which is why I need to pull...

    5-6 minutes and the crust would have turned to dust. I actually left it on an upside down pan threw it in the Q for a few minutes then slid it off. It was only on the stone for a few minutes. Second Pizza turned out better because I did the same thing thing but longer on the pan and only...

    I nailed making and hand tossing pizzas down solid the first time in the oven (I use a Fibrament-d baking stone). Everyone that has them say they are one of the best pizzas they have ever had. The grill, I know what I need to achieve which is less heat from the bottom (the stone) and more from...

    Why not just add more wood chunks and not worry about it. lol
