    Help

    My door thermo was 40-50 degrees off and varies from smoke to smoke so i don't use it at all.     That may explain the problem...   I don't have enough experience yet on how long meats take - just from reading this forum quite a bit that getting fairly accurate smoker temps is a key component...

      As I promised, more Q-View is a coming.  For tonight we are going to have Spare Ribs.   Here they are going into the smoker. I may have been a bit too light on the rub.  Guess we'll see....

    Propane smoke control - Master Forge - Brisket

      Ok, I'm starting to feel like a thread hog - but what the heck, it is my thread!   It was all delicious.  I think now I understand how Rudy's BBQ does their potato's and it really just requires a few more hours on the smoker.  Those things were close and Rudy's is by far my favorite baked...

    Propane smoke control - Master Forge - Brisket

      A couple of lessons learned.  Potatoe's were not quite done after 3 - 4 hours in 220 ish temps.  No biggie they had a nice blackened skin so I'm thinkin they will be tasty.  Garlic placed on the there about 3 hours ago is delicious but a bit dried out.  Have to work on that.   Meat is foil...

    Propane smoke control - Master Forge - Brisket

    Thanks SmokinJoe,   First run and I wanted to see what a "plain ole smoke" looks like wiht brisket.  Smoker is @ 237 and meat is @ 178.   I have no idea, but due to the long smoke on a 3lb piece of meat I'm expecting dry and not too good.  We'll see, I'll post pics either way for educational...

    Propane smoke control - Master Forge - Brisket

      Sorry to hear about the Pack tonight sprky.  But hey - how many undefeated seasons are there :)   I'm a little suprised - my little 3lb brisket is still going - 172 now with the smoker @ 237.  The smoker temp is rising a bit so I'll have to go check it soon/now.  I'm at nearly 9 hours and had...

    Propane smoke control - Master Forge - Brisket

      As a new user this post was delayed - no big deal.  It is still going 7 hours and 45 minutes in now.  I think I just broke through the stall which happened at about 155 and the meat is now at 167.  Getting close!   Thew some potatos rubbed in olive oil and kosher salt a couple of hours ago as...

    Propane smoke control - Master Forge - Brisket

      As some of you may remember, I recently purchased a MF from Lowes.  Seems like a decent quality unit.  I'm very new to all this.   Last weekend did my first smoke - a whole chicken.  Turned out OK - a bit too much smoke flavor for my taste but live and learn.   Anyway, I have a brisket on...

    Newbie Wants to Smoke

    Thanks for the warm welcome all.  To those of you recommending electric - that would be preferable, but I also want to use t this when camping and no AC power available except via an inverter or generator.  I'd hate to run the generator for hours on end and don't have enough battery for the...

    Newbie Wants to Smoke

    See, you guys already helped confirm what I thought -  the Master Forge appears to be top rated round here.   I'm guessing the #1 rating is more  about how many folks have them vs the performance.  That said it is a price thing and after digging in I don't see any in the price range that sound...

    Newbie Wants to Smoke

      So guys/gals, first off, thanks for the great forum.  I've been reading for a bit and love the environment and encouragement of the forum.     I've done some indirect cooking with ribs on my gas grill - with some smoke, but haven’t been able to “smoke” anything.   Anyway, I'm looking at...
