    Masterbuild XL Mods - Post your mods here!

    Welcome to the site, I have not done anything like that but it does sound like it could easily be done, I think it would work as long as you have the smoker facing with the wind blowing against the sheet metal barrier that you build, let us know how you make out.

    I used it green already, But it is better if you can dry it for a few weeks, I saw on a post somewhere that a person puts his in the microwave to take some of the moisture out but I never tried it.

    That's where I got mine, I'm sure you will enjoy it, I put some chunks in that I cut from my own tree and I have no problem burning them.

    This is the one I just got, It is a 44 inch 2 door so I would consider this too be XL,

    Are we talking about the 40 or 44 gas model when we say XL?

    Bryce, Where you able to keep the wood hot enough to keep it smoking without it getting to hot inside the smoker itself?

    Looks good, I just used mine tonight to make 10 lbs. beef sticks, I'm still having a hard time burning wood and keeping the temperature down to 150 - 170,  Beef sticks didn't come out very good, I used the same recipe that I always use but they come out a lot better in the food hydrator.

    That would be great if we lived closer but I'm getting there with all the help, I'm thinking on moving the brackets further apart so each bracket is on the outside of the burners then taking an old rack from a oven and cutting it down to size to fit across the burners and rest on the brackets...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    That's what I did, Just Google what is the best slicer to buy and that is what comes up, I know sometimes you can't believe the reviews but I took the chance, I looked for about 2 weeks before I finally decided to spend $120 and get it.

    They are about 1-1/2 inches wide, The material was from a mud flap off a tractor trailer, Not sure on the thickness but will check tomorrow, The material was awful tough to drill in so I'm thinking it is tough metal. What do you think about me moving the brackets further apart so they aren't...

    for a slicer you guys could try the Chef's Choice 615, I got mine about 2 months ago and love it so far, It's not a heavy duty one but it gets the job done.

    I'm not sure on the burn time so maybe someone else will know, but I did use mine twice so far for about 6 hours and I still have almost a full tank according to my gauge.

    Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite 44" propane smoker

    Forgot to mention that the burners are right under the brackets I made, So I'm hoping I can get enough heat to the pan to keep the wood chips burning, Craig do you think that the old ^ shape bracket I took off was made that way so the heat from the burners would hit the bracket and push towards...

     Craig here are the pictures and thanks for the idea. I might go with a 10 inch round cake or cast iron pan since there is plenty of room but the 8 inch should be plenty.

    Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite 44" propane smoker

    Haven't tried it yet but I am going to try it hopefully tomorrow, I think the project came out great, Just cut 2 strips 1-1/2 inches wide x 13 inches long, You can bend them in a vise, You want to  measure in from each end  2-3/4 inches then bend, then measure down 1 inch and bend again, then...
