    propane verticle smokers

    I have the MB - Dual Fuel Vertical, and I run it this way..... the top... wide open for exhaust....the bottom right anywhere from 1/2 to 1/4 open (with a few times full open) depending on the wind which seems to come from the right side of the smoker to the left all the time.  The bottom left I...

    NEWBIE

    Welcome Gary... In my opinion....... You really need to get a probe type meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature for whatever doneness you are shooting for.  Are you wanting to slice the meat, or intend to pull it (as in pulled pork)?   I don't know anything about the Smoking...

    New from Nor Cal

    Great looking - nah.... Perfect looking !!!! I did not mess with the door at all. I created a wind guard around the bottom, I added the fold down shelf on the left side, I took out the fire pan and replaced with a low profile cast iron skillet. I took out the water pan and replaced with a...

    Looks good..... If you are like me - you will love the MB Dual fuel. I made a couple of mods to mine..... But even with my lack of skills in the engineering and construction department I think that everything came out well. :yahoo:

    First time with Baby Backs on the Masterbuilt Smoker

    BTW looks like you are into the cameras. I'm trying to play around a bit..... Have a Canon T5i - which has more doodads on it than I will probably ever use. But I am trying!

    Thermometer for Grill/smoker

    I personally like the Maverick ET 733 (or the ET 732) models.  Let's you check the temp of the smoker and the meat all at the same time.  A bit pricey....but very accurate, and worth it not to mess up a nice piece of meat (or should I say a $$$ piece of meat) at today's prices.!!!  BTW I bought...

    St. Louis Ribs - 2nd try

    Let me preface by saying I am pretty much a newbie here too. I have a dual fuel ( 2 door Masterbuilt) propane smoker also. I have done the 3/2/1 method on all my St. Louis racks and have been very pleased. My comments would be that I try to keep my temp around 235 degrees.... And I only...

    Looking for a substitute.

    Might want to try tomato soup. Out of the can.... Don't add the water / milk etc. I like that flavor real well.

    Thermometers - Maverick 732 vs 733

    While I have no experience with the 732 I am the proud owner of the 733, and I love it. I believe from what I have read that the screen is a bit bigger on the 733....... But as I have also read, the 3 foot probes are a bit short on both. Again while not comparing...... The things I like...

    Need help with a new smoker, after I return from deployment

    :welcome1: I have a rather inexpensive dual fuel Masterbuilt Pro vertical smoker. Not really for grilling, but with the two doors and using either charcoal or propane, it is a relative forgiving smoker at a decent price. There are mods mentioned all over here, that help with the smoke, but...

    Navy guy EXTREMELY NEW to smoking - Hampton Raods, VA

    :welcome1: One of the 1st things I did, was a meatloaf. Add whatever you want inside, throw in your smoke wood of choice and go at it. We all know what hamburger / ground beef normally taste like, and like the mentioned chicken is darned hard to screw up. You get a good idea of the...

All kidding aside, I am fortunate that my wife likes the smoked food....so I was able to beg and get...
