Breaking in the new smoker
Last weekend me and my family went to Bass Pro and bought the Masterbuilt XL smoker. I preseasoned the smoker one afternoon after work and have been chomping at the bit to smoke something in it all week. We had a chicken in the freezer and I thawed it out and brined it. Started smoking it about... -
Got a new smoker today!
Thanks everybody, I will definitely look at buying an AMNPS but for now I'll do the cast iron skillet and apple or pecan chunks of wood. My wife wants a chicken smoked this weekend and I may stop and get some ribs or a pork butt to smoke along with the chicken.- caseyp

Masterbuild XL Mods - Post your mods here!
I just got my Masterbuilt XL yesterday and have already changed the temp gauge out and plan on doing a few more mods to it. I definitely want to build a cart for it to move it around and so it sits a little higher than it is. I may order a stack for the top of it too, my mind will be made up on...- caseyp

Should I buy this?
Me and my wife are about to go and purchase the smoker. I've been reading mods that have been done to the smokers and was wondering if this temp gauge is a decent one to replace the original one with. I bought from academy a while back for my charcoal grill and haven't gotten around to changing...- caseyp

Should I buy this?
I haven't smoked much but what I have smoked turned out pretty good. I have a charcoal grill with a smoker side box. Its kind of a pain in the neck. I've been thinking about buying a madterbuilt propane smoker. Here's a link to what I'm wanting to buy, I just need a little insight on them...- caseyp

Question
Gotcha! I was just thinking about trying to make a smoker since this fridge crapped out on us at work. It does have the plastic inside. My grill has a side smoke box on it so I really don't need just a smoker since I don't do that much smoking (I just started smoking meat this past weekend).- caseyp

offset smoker with propane burner
I have wondered if this could be done. This past weekend I fought and fought with my smoker trying to keep the temp right. The meat turn out good but the bark had the creosote taste to it. I am defently gonna be doing this to my smoker soon, along with sanding down and repainting it. I still...- caseyp

Too Much Smoke
I had this same problem today. I had a water pan on top of my wood and coals. Could the water pan have caused the taste that it had? My brisket didn't have near the bitter taste as my ribs did. The brisket was closer to the fire box than the ribs were. Could that have been another factor in the...- caseyp

Getting geared up for Sunday!
Well here are some pics. We're about to dig in now. I have tasted it and the bark have a weird after taste to it. I read some where that if you smoke it for too long with hickory or mesquite that you get that after taste. The brisket is perfect, it's juicy and the knife slices through it easily... -

Getting geared up for Sunday!
Well I was trying to have it done at noon but it's looking more like 11 which is fine. I'm shooting for an internal temp of 200 and it's at 195 right now. I moved it to the other side of the grill and put the ribs between it and a pan full of corn on the cob. My dad has always wrapped the corn... -

Hi from Mooringsport, LA
I have an older air compressor at the house that I don't think works. I got a new compressor a few months ago. I'm pretty sure that my barrels are lined with red paint and from what I've read those are a pain to deal with. So what I may do is take the power head off the compressor and cut a few... -
Hi from Mooringsport, LA
After looking at some of the UDS smokers on here that might be the way I go for now. I have 3 of those barrels with lids at my house, I got them for free so I could put deer corn in them. I may start on one of these smokers this weekend. If I do I'll start a thread else where.
