    temp troubbles

    Cleaned around the thermostat with some apple cider vinegar and a small paint brush, and the hanging thermometer now reads what the dial is set at. Did notice another anomaly, though. Turned the dial on the smoker to "Off", but the flame didn't go all the way out. Had to turn the valve on the...

    temp troubbles

    Well, I haven't disconnected the gas line except to unscrew it from the tank to replace the tank, so I'm OK there. Guess I'll clean the thermostat and see what happens. Thanks for the response.

    temp troubbles

    Got a Masterbuilt 340 gas smoker. Up til now, the temp in the chamber has been consistent with the dial on the front. Smoked a brisket last weekend, and while it came out fair, the oven thermometer hanging in the chamber would get no higher than 200, even when I cranked the dial to 300+. Took...

    Masterbuilt Vertical 2 door Smoker Mods

    Haven't tried it yet. Like I mentioned, the top is actually the bottom of the original chip/chunk pan. And if you notice, I can prop the top open a bit if I find I'm not getting enough air to keep the chips/chunks lit. If they do go out, even with the top propped open, I'll put some holes in the...

    Masterbuilt Vertical 2 door Smoker Mods

    Here's what I came up with for a top to the frypan/wood chunk holder. I used the tray that came with the rig, just flipped it upside down and attached it with a store-bought hinge, and one of my own design. The round piece is aluminum bar stock, split lengthwise with a hole thru it to wrap...

    Masterbuilt Vertical 2 door Smoker Mods

    Here's the wind blockers. Came out way better than I expected! Think I'll make a cover for the frypan to prohibit the wood chunks from catching fire at high heat. I think I'll wanna start off on high to get the chunks lit, then turn the heat down to the smoking temp i need depending on the goods...

    I posted pics and descriptions, but they are awaiting moderator approval. I'll return later to see if it posted.

    Masterbuilt Vertical 2 door Smoker Mods

    Working on sheet metal covers for the bottom of the smoker to prevent the wind from extinguishing the burner. Will probably cut some sheet metal to suit and attach with piano hinge. More on that later. Curious as to the needle valve installation. Seems as though the rigs pictured don't have a...

    Masterbuilt Vertical 2 door Smoker Mods

    I wonder if you could show a pic of the cast iron tray and how you install it. You say you put it right over the fire ring. Does that mean you remove the diffuser?

    Masterbuilt propane not smoking

    But I read the instructions for my Masterbuilt, and it specifically says not to use pellets. Is this bunk?
