    Insulating a Propane Smoker

    There have been no problems with the insulation at all.  The insulation is holding up well.  This has worked really well for me.  Happy smoking!

    Initial Setup and Using the Masterbuilt Vertical Propane Smoker

    Hernando, you obviously get some loss when you open the door.  However, the recovery time is very quick and hasn't caused me any problems. If you think the recovery time is taking a little too long, turn it up a little and then adjust when it gets back to the proper temp.  I also have the single...

    Initial Setup and Using the Masterbuilt Vertical Propane Smoker

    Kielbasa Kid.  No that is not foil faced styrofoam house wall insulation.  This insulation is found back in the plumbing section for covering hot water heaters, etc.  It has a layer what looks like a bubble wrap in the middle with a layer of foil on both sides.  It works great!  You will find...

    Initial Setup and Using the Masterbuilt Vertical Propane Smoker

    Scooter, glad the foil is working.  I have not had a problem with the ashes when I spray a flareup.  As far as the cast iron skillet, yes it would work fine.   If you do use the skillet, I have seen a couple of places where it is just put on top of the present chip pan. I haven't tried that but...

    Initial Setup and Using the Masterbuilt Vertical Propane Smoker

    Scooper glad you like what you see.  This method of foiling the chip pan has really worked for me.  I have an occasional flareup if I let the pan get too hot.  I have found that having a spray bottle with water near is always a good idea.  However, if there is a flareup, I find that spraying the...

    Initial Setup and Using the Masterbuilt Vertical Propane Smoker

    The bricks definitely help.  The windbreak will help almost any kind of smoker, allowing enough air in but keeping the wind from affecting the flame, charcoal, or whatever.  Probably would not make any difference for an electric smoker.  Glad you like it SmokinAl.

    venison question?

    It seems to me that you are overpowering the meat taste.  You will lose the taste of the venison. I would advise to do something more subtle such as an Herb/Garic Marinade and then slow smoke it with an Oak or Hickory smoke with maybe a touch of fruit wood smoke.  I have eaten venison many ways...

    My first smoking experience

    It would be better if you didn't rely on an extension cord.  However, there are many extension cords that could handle what you want to do.  Go to a good hardware store and ask for an extension cord that has a high rating.  These can handle the current needed.  Also, it is always a great idea to...

    Can I do the 3 tonight, and do the 2-1 tomorrow?

    I would definitely do them in the morning.  It is well worth the effort and getting up early (if you have to).  However, it depends on when you want to serve them, you can put them on, set the timer, if you are in the area when it goes off foil them, reset the timer, and then finish them off. ...

    Insulating a Propane Smoker

    Frosty, I thought about a welders blanket but this proved to be much easier to work with.  Also it only cost about $4 a foot which came to about $24 for the entire blanket.  Also by being able to cut the slits easily, I was able to put my cover back over the smoker.  Go ahead and do it and claim...
