    Masterbuilt Gas Smoker XL Assembly Review with Photos (Dial-Up Beware)

    I assembled mine today and it went very well.  Easy to assemble, liked the threaded inserts instead of nuts. I started to get it ready for seasoning, cleaned the inside with white vinegar instead of simple green, seemed to remove any unwanted oils.  Started to smoke to season it, temp went...

    Smoking in the Inland Empire, Calif.
