    A friend gave me this smoker

    Thanks Hawkec. I have a ThermoPro TP-08 but I only have one right now and I sometimes run 2 smokers. I happen to have an extra stock thermometer and I probably will calibrate it just to see how accurate it is. What do you think of an oven thermometer that sits on the grates? r2

    Hi Dave, Is the factory color the "grey" or is it just faded? r2

    A friend gave me this smoker

    Yep on the thermometer. The one on it is full of condensation. I figure wire brush the rust off the internal parts and pieces then season. Will give it a light sanding on the outside and a couple of coats of paint. Where can I get more info on how to actually use this unit? I currently have a...

    A friend gave me this smoker

    A friend gave me this smoker. Not sure of the make. I haven't used one of these before so what is the correct forum to get advice on how to use it, any mods I should make and needed maintenance. It definitely has some rust that needs tending to. I have all the grates (not shown) Look forward to...

    ThermoPro TP08

    Dillon If you see my post above you will see my history with OE probes. I have bought probably three sets of probes. What's my recourse here?

    ThermoPro TP08

    I have been using the TP08 for a while and like it just fine. The only issue I have is that periodically the probes fail. I typically will calibrate them in ice water and boiling water and the results can be sketchy. So I guess I am probably being to kind about the unit with the probe issue. r2

    Thoughts on Masterbuilt's new Propane Smoker?

    It's definitely a matter of opinion. I always use water and havent had any issues but there others who use only sand. I think it boils down to having some medium in the pan that helps regulate the swing in temperatures. Others will probably weigh in on this subject.

    Masterbuilt Pro Mods

    I have a Masterbuilt 2 door vertical smoker with the standard mods most users do. I have skillet on a rack right on top of the burner. I havent noticed any issues with this set up but I see a lot of people have elevated their skillet in different ways above the burner. Am I missing something...

    Thoughts on Masterbuilt's new Propane Smoker?

    I wound up having to use a water (water or sand your choice) pan to control temps at most heat ranges. Without it I was getting fluctuations in the temps. Now with pan and a needle valve, I can hold low temps steadily. r2
