    New Master built???

    I bought a Masterbuilt 40" a couple of months ago and have used it quite a bit.  I smoked rib racks last weekend and the wood chip holder held enough to smoke pretty good for 6 hours.  The wood lasts longer than you would think.

    Thanks everyone, I soaked it in water for a few hours and it thawed out pretty good.  I patted it dry and applied rub and is now resting in my frig.  It is closer to 6 lbs and I am going to smoke it for about 9 - 10 hrs at 225.  I'll keep an eye one the internal temp.
