    Masterbuilt Electric Smoker - First Timer

    So I just purchased the Masterbuilt 30" electric too...my third smoker, but first electric.  What I am curious about is how long does a load of chips last?  It almost sounds like you just add one load and when it's out it's out, no more are needed?  I want to do a brisket in there overnight, but...

    That is exactly what I was hoping to hear and what I thought had happened, but I have never seen SUCH a pronounced pink like that before.  Thank you much for the answer!  Happy Smoking!!

    Why is Franklin BBQ in austin so good?

    Just a quick add on here from my recent visit.  My friend and I waited in line for about 3.5 hours and didn't even barely notice (we were 18th and 19th in line).  The people in line were great, atmosphere was perfect and they had chairs to borrow as you waited (the cooler of beer we brought...

    Smoker firebox rust inside and out

    So I also have rusting forming on the outside and inside of my firebox.  If I use the wire wheel or sandpaper to remove the rust do I need to repaint before smoking with it again or can I limp through doing this until the end of the season and just repaint it over the winter?  And is it OK to...

    Oklahoma Joe's Longhorn Smoker Mods

    Thanks for all of the tips!!  I went with fat cap down this time because it does seem like all of the heat would come from underneath with that convection plate in there.  The end results were AWESOME and everyone loved it! It was sooo easy to slice up, literally like a hot knife through...

    Oklahoma Joe's Longhorn Smoker Mods

    Hey all - trying to decide which way to cook my brisket - fat side up or down - and understand one of the best ways to make this decision is to determine if your smoker cooks hotter on the top or from the bottom.  I have a convection plate in there so I was wondering if that was only for heat...
