    Meat in the smoker during pre-heat

    Not sure about the meat in at pre-heat, IMHO I don't think it would be a problem. On the other hand it really shouldn't matter at start-up. I worry more about heat loss during mid-smoke. As far as flare ups, I have a Masterbuilt XL propane smoker and I would get them all the time ! I would...

    Adjusting temps

    How easy is it to adjust the temp with the valve. My reason for asking is because it seems like all I did when I tried jerky was fiddle with the stupid control knob , turn a bit -too high turn back - too low ! it was very frustrating so I pretty much caved in and just went to like 180. So...

    Using cure for jerky

    D/O I do smoke the jerky in my MB 40 . I think I went as high as maybe 180 final temp. The jerky was OK but seemed more like cooked then dried, maybe to much smoke too fingers turned blackish when holding it. I want to omit the liquid smoke next time and just use smoke from the smoker. might...

    Using cure for jerky

    Hi guys, I have been surfin' around the forum for a while and noticed a lot of you use cure when making jerky. I have a recipe that I used a couple of times now that I got from the food network website. It is a brine recipe but does not call for any type of cure. Should I be using cure or is...
