    Masterbuilt MPS 230S

    I'll probably pick up a cast iron skillet this weekend for the smoker (I've got one I use a ton in the house, literally never leaves the stovetop) and go after that point I left in the freezer from the brisket I did. I've gotta help a family member tow a car though, so I may not have time to...

    Masterbuilt MPS 230S

    I've seen the cast iron skillet mentioned and was leaning towards that route. I've got some wood hanging out that I'll need to use as chunks (good bit of fig and oak) so I'd need the cast iron route. I may go with a pellet tray or tube later in some kind of configuration whether it's the mailbox...

    Masterbuilt MPS 230S

    See, right there is something I wouldn’t have known. Lol. Where would be best to put the tube? Oh believe me, that brisket I did I was wrapping chips at least once every two hours to stick down there to keep that thin smoke. One time grease dripped in a hole and set the little pack on fire and...

    Masterbuilt MPS 230S

    Bought this thing cheap from Lowe's as "damaged" because it was missing the knob. Bought a new knob after not hearing from Masterbuilt for a few days, but they shipped me one about 2 weeks later for free. So I've got a large chrome knob on it for now. I followed the season procedure in the...

    First Official CenTex Que & Brew August 9th-11th

    Oh man. I think my friend is coming in from Florida that weekend whom I haven't seen in almost 2 years now. Let me see what is going down and I'll see if the logistics work out! Are dogs welcome? I've got two "little" mutts (40-50 pounds each) that love taking trips. They can definitely be left...

    Fig Wood

    That's all I've been able to find, or just people talking about having it. It's odd to me that nobody seems to post anything about the flavor. Idk if you've ever smelled fig, but it smells almost like cinnamon before it burns, and even better after it burns. Guess I'll need to grab some chicken...

    The CharGriller Owners Group Official "Introduce Yourself" Thread

    I'll join in on this one. I've got a 30" Super Pro. I've attempted smoking ribs in it without the smoker attachment and just using the thermometer on the lid. Did not come out good at all, and have since noticed the thermometer is absolutely screwed up. It shows about 500 degrees when cold. I...

    Fig Wood

    Has anyone here used fig wood for smoking? I keep seeing where it's considered a good wood for smoking, but I can't find anyone describing the flavor profile or anything. I had a rent house in Corpus that had a fig tree and they told me I could cut it down so my dogs didn't get sick from the...

    New from Pasadena, TX

    Thanks everyone! Did my first ever brisket (first anything to smoke too) on Saturday. Took 12.5 hours at 250*, this smoker holds temp really easily and I'm impressed. For the wood I used primarily mesquite wrapped in aluminum foil with some holes poked in it per recommendations I found on here...

    New from Pasadena, TX

    Thanks everyone! Oddly Masterbuilt specifically says not to use chunks so I was avoiding it. But I'll definitely give it a shot. I honestly don't see what it could possibly hurt. I may pick up a pan to put on the chip tray as well because the one that came with this smoker has holes where the...

    New from Pasadena, TX

    Howdy y'all! Just joined from Pasadena. I've got a Masterbuilt MPS 230S that I got for around $100 from Lowe's because it was a "damaged display". Contacted Masterbuilt to get a new knob (only "broken" piece) and they shipped me one for free even after disclosing how I got the smoker. That's...
