    Master Forge Propane Smoker - not getting hot / too much meat!?

    Pre-heating the sand is a great idea. I used to do that with the water until it started to feel futile since I end up having to fill the pan so often anyway.  My gut is telling me that switching to sand is going to be a big help. It takes a lot of energy to boil water and over the course of a...

    Master Forge Propane Smoker - not getting hot / too much meat!?

    Well on one hand I am happy to report that the fuel tube, it's screen, and the burner were very clean (pics below). On the other hand I need to keep looking for reasons that my smoker isn't getting as hot as it should. At this point I am pretty sure that the design is the limitation and it's...

    Master Forge Propane Smoker - not getting hot / too much meat!?

    David and PS0303, Thanks very much... I have clear path forward. Will clear out the gas tube... sounds like I'm pretty much guarantee to find some webs or something in there. I also picked up a rope gasket at a fireplace supply store today and will be taking my angle grinder to the water pan in...

    Master Forge Propane Smoker - not getting hot / too much meat!?

    PS0303, Thanks for the tips... I wish I'd cleaned the burner and tube out before I smoked yesterday, but will do it before it goes away today. Heading to Lowe's for those rope gaskets this afternoon. Interesting, with the side vents close to closed and the top vent wide open you get full burn...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    Mine is pretty straightforward... just reflect my personal obsession with all types of meat! John Candy in The Great Outdoors eating the Ol' 96'er is my hero, Not really, but I love that scene ;-)

    Ghost, Thanks for sharing. Ive been thinking about smoking a rib roast for some time. Your post inspires me to get to it. I had a smoked rprime rib on a trip to alaska a couple years back and it was phenomenal! Need to reproduce that at home! Any experience with smoking a rib roast as opposed...
