    Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite 44" propane smoker

    finally got around to posting the pictures of what I did. Since I had some old angle iron lying around I used that, This is a brace that will go on top of the brackets. This is the bracket that will get bolted in the smoker where the holes were to the shield that was bolted above the...

    Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite 44" propane smoker

    Thanks that seems easy to do, I'm gone to go make them now, I did stop by a thrift store the other day and found 2 nice stainless steel pots, the 1 is about 7" wide by 3-1/2" deep, I was going to use that for inside the smoker to smoke the wood chips which should hold a lot more then what I have...

    With needle valve installed are you able to lower the temp to around 150-160 to do jerky?

    Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite 44" propane smoker

    Wish we were closer as this is new to me but I appreciate all your time and help, I can remove the angled platform it is just 4 nuts on the 4 posts that hold it because I had to put that together, The chip tray can be removed easy as it just sits in the center of a rack that sits on 2 side...

    Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite 44" propane smoker

    Here are some pictures of my smoker, Any ideas for a better smoking pan? As you can see in the picture it is a small pan, I need to modify the rack with the pan so I can use a cast iron skillet closer to the burner to smoke with.

    Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite 44" propane smoker

    cmayna, After checking your links I noticed you have one round burner so that would work nice, But the 44XL that I have has 2 burners, The burners are just 2 tubes with tiny holes that are about 10 inches long just like on my regular gas grill, The burners are about 8 inches apart, Then it has a...

    Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite 44" propane smoker

    Got mine last year on 12-1-2015 at a great buy at Tractor Supply, I'm having a hard time maintaining my temp also, I read somewhere that it was recommended to get a 8 or 10 inch cast iron pan for the wood so I bought one, But I can't use that on my burners due to the v shape metal sitting above...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    Thanks, I think the problem I have is the temp though, I tried to turn it down but then the wood wouldn't smoke, I do have a masterbuilt cold smoker that I rigged up to fit the smoker so I guess I will have to use that, But I still might get the A-Maze-N smoker since it doesn't have to be...
