Hello, I have this same smoker Masterbuilt Propane 230S or something. My first time using it was this past Saturday for a Pork Butt in 25-35º weather with winds 15-25 MPH...so it was hard to keep a constant temp. What is the needle vavle in line and where does this go? I assume this helps fine...

Not familiar with your particular unit.. but does it have an inline needle valve ?? If not.. I would start researching one.. That's been one of the most popular fixes for propane smokers... we'll see what others say...

Thanks for the helpful information. I certainly am not aiming to get to 250 degrees. I was using that as, hopefully, an absolute maximum temperature. You mention that you smoke primarily at the 130-145 degree range and finish at 170. Most of what I have read says 225 degrees is the Holy Grail of...

...i built a shack....i know extreme but thats what i do. Picked up longer gas line and 100lb adapter for large tank, so back up tank 30lb + 100lb I have been wanting to get the right needle valve so thank you for this post , started by" chadnicoletti " thanks for the path to buy on amazon David

This has worked for me for 20+ yrs when using this smoker. Have done summer sausage, bacon, etc overnight. Not a problem. And my guess on the filter situation is they would be full of your dripping rather quickly, would they not?

Hey DRKsmoking, I honestly can't take any credit for these mods, less the welded skirts. This forum is a wealth of information, and seriously awesome. I've been a tinkerer for a long time, and can't leave anything stock. Thankfully with a little elbow grease and some time, one can take a pretty...

A great help. I'll give it a whirl soon and report on my findings.

Welcome! I feel that a needle valve is a must with these, especially if you want to smoke salmon or jerky at low temps. When you look for a reg and needle valve combo, look for the low pressure variety. Otherwise your smoker cabinet will be performing a SpaceX Starship imitation. Installing a...

...have everything in stock. At the time in the pandemic, I was ordering everything online. The picture gives you some idea of how I plumbed it together. The needle valve is not high pressure or low pressure. the output of the regulator and the type of burner you have is, and yours is low...

...that needs high temp even my chunks will catch fire. So i try to have the smoking finished before i raise the temp. As for the needle valve , I installed on mine because the dial that is on the smoker is hard to adjust real accurate, but now i can almost keep it right to the exact Deg. i...

...to do it ? Easy enough build for something similar 3x3x7'. Can easily fit 100# sausage. Was an old RR signal bungalow. Propane burner needle valve...

I had installed a needle valve inline on my GOSM with clamp-on fittings. Maybe 2 years later the regulator died on me and I simply replaced it with a similar low pressure regulator I bought on Amazon. I just removed the section from the regulator to the needle valve, and attached the new...

...windy. Wanted to block some of the winds from nailing the pellet tray. Oh and you will need to squint your eyes to see it, but the needle valve is up against the propane tank connector. This smoker is actually used more now for cold smoking my Salmon and Albacore Lox as well as cheese...

...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 temp-specific range . Mine does, and it's pretty accurate from what I can see by...

Think about a needle valve in the lid of that trap.... Using it, you can regulate the vacuum applied and reduce the "BURPS" until they have calmed down allowing for full vacuum.... I would go with about 3/4 - 1" headspace in the jars....

@OldSmoke, your mods are really nice!! I too added a needle valve and felt gasket around all doors. I smoked a pork shoulder on Saturday with the new skirts welded in ( I know the welds aren't pretty, but I'm working with a HFT flux core unit) and with the 25 degree temp and 10-15 mph winds I...

Oldsmoke what are you using for smoke? smoketube? or cast iron skillet?
