    Question about Masterbuilt pro dual fuel smoker

    I bought one of these right after Christmas and seasoned it this past Saturday. After it was seasoned I went ahead and played around with the smoker a bit. I turned the knobs all the way down and the lowest I could get it was 350 degrees. I realize that there was no water in the pan and that...

    Question about changing the cooking temp.

Do I do something with the amount of water in the pan? I would assume it stays somewhere around 225 depending...

    1st smoke experience

    Thanks guys, I will try turning up the heat next time. Like my wife said I have the rest of my life to smoke food. After I brined it I rubbed it and put it in a dutch oven in the refrigerator for 16ish hours. Is that the best way to let the skin dry or should I not put the rub on until the end...

    Hey y'all

    Flash, thanks for the advice. It is a fully cooked ham as they were giving samples at the store. I was looking and I saw a recipe that Jeff had for an Easter ham and it looked fairly simple. I will take pictures we'll see how it turns out. I look forward to talking with all of you in the future.

    Hey y'all

    Thanks disturbed. I'm not sure what kind of ham it is. I'll check when I get home. What cut of meat do y'all consider the easiest for a newbie to start on? My brother who does a little smoking said start off with chicken.
