    Masterbuilt xl help

    My XL heats to 375 to 400+ with no problem at all, I have a huge water pan, 2 extra bricks inside for thermal mass and the old water pan filled with sand. I would say that your burner is out of wack big time. The XL burner should heat your box to 400+ in 15 minutes or less set wide open. Read...

    Nice job on the wind break, I also have had problems with the wind. I just used some tin foil around the legs as a temporary fix.

    1st time smoker - temp problems with my Brinkman Smoke N Grill

    Craigroller,,, I don't remember the total cost for just the expanded, it was reasonable. Don't get the "Heavy Duty" stuff because it would be to hard to bend. I have enough left over to replace the basket if needed. I bought lots of different materials all cut to size for other projects that I...

    New CharGriller Super Pro W/Mods

    I had an offset that I used for a few years and basically did the same mods as you have. Really the best thing that I finally did was, I made a basket for the charcoal. As others have said, it will make your smokes much easier to manage. Another thing that I used was a fan and power transformer...

    1st time smoker - temp problems with my Brinkman Smoke N Grill

    I go to www.mcnichols.com  for all types of expanded metal.   They have it all in every imaginable type. They have stainless, aluminum or carbon steel. Plus they will cut to size and ship by freight or UPS depending on the size. You purchase a full sheet, they cut it to size and send all the...

    Masterbuilt XL mods

    David, I simply set an 8" cast iron fry pan with wood chunks directly on the stock chip pan. You will find that you may want to elevate the fry pan a bit more or even elevate the stock chip pan to lower the intensity of the heat delivered to the wood chunks in the fry pan. I also cover the fry...

    newbie needs help picking a smoker

    For $199 the Masterbuilt XL from Sams Club online is the most bang for the buck! It does require a few minor mods though,, http://www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/product.jsp?productId=prod4220092&iid=Category|TOPSELLER|Grilling|Masterbuilt

    Masterbuilt XL mods

    I simply ran a nice even round 3/8" bead of 100% pure silicone (heat rated) around the door frame face and let it dry overnight. I did this prior to seasoning or starting the burner. I cleaned the door frame very well with alcohol to make sure that a good bond was made. I even used some of the...
