    Wings done on ONLY the smoker

    Thank you sir so much... Your wings look absolutely phenomenal. So, if I want to smoke Sunday, what should I do Saturday with the wings? Should I wash them, dry them, lay rub on with baking powder, and let sit overnight in the fridge? What about a brine? Put them on the smoker Sunday, at...

    Wings done on ONLY the smoker

    So I want to do wings. I want crispy skin. I have a MB propane. I can get upwards of 350 degrees if I get everything right. I want to make wings, but not transfer them from the smoker to the grill or air fryer. I know I should use baking powder, but how much? Any help with recipes would be...

    Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite

    I have the 40 xl propane.... Love it.... First thing is first, get yourself an oven thermometer. The door thermo is way off. I don't leave all my grates in. I only put in the amount of grates I need. Cover your water pan in aluminum foil, makes for easier clean up. Only use a hand full of...

    40 inch xl MB questions

    So, I did some researching here. And many peeps have said to buy a gasket for the door (bbqgaskets.com). So I called. Right off the bat, the gentleman says he does not recommend one. I said why? He said because you run the danger of combustion. I guess blowing up the smoker???? I don't...

    Chips VS Chunks

    225-275. My MB can get to 375. Well the longest smoke I have done is poor man burnt ends. 8 hours. But you don't smoke for the full 8 obviously. So really that is it. I have no desire to do briskets or anything. I have read soaking chips just makes steam and not actual smoke, like dry...

    Chips VS Chunks

    So, I just started researching this. I have the Masterbuilt 40in XL elite. I received it back in 2017. I love it. But, here is the thing. When I use chips (dry) always, I get a huge burst of white smoke for about 10 minutes, then some thin blue smoke for about 5 minutes, and then it is all...

    Door thermometer

    So this is what I have. Not making much sense why the probe type is so much higher than the oven thermometer(s). I have 2 in there and they both are reading 350.

    Door thermometer

    Hmm strange. Guys on the Mb FB page are saying to run a digital probe type and just clip it to the rack. And have a digital readout outside the smoker. It is just too expensive. I really want a analog thermo for the door.

    Door thermometer

    Hey everyone, kind of new here. I have a MB 40inch xl propane smoker. I need the door thermometer. I have already bought one from MB and it was very expensive but I broke it. I went to Home Depot and bought a universal one, it reads 50-75 degrees off because it is too short. Can someone...

    Looking for some help please

    Hey guys and gals, I am new here and just moved to Amelia Island Florida, but I have been smoking for a while using my Masterbuilt 40 inch xl sportsman elite propane smoker. I love it, but sometimes hate it. It is very hard to sometimes regulate temp and sometimes the flame will go out...
