    Follow up... About 2 1/2 years ago , I posted that I had bought a silicone seal from Home depot to seal the smoke from leaking around the door.  As of today, I'm happy to say that the seal is intact, never melted, or given off a odor.  I'm very happy with this analog smoker from MB once the...

    Will be getting a AMNPS and i have the Analog Masterbuilt 30' smoker

    I put a 3" top ven and pipet, and a few extra intake holes in the bottom . Open and close these holes with the leftover 3" metal disk Temp probe(Maverick ET 732?) in the side just above the rack, where most of my smoking sits. Since the top vent hole/pipe works so well, I used a silicone...

    New MES @ TSC $75

    I've been using mine for almost 3years.  The thermometer is way off and trying to dial in the temp controller knob is almost impossible. I added a PID controller with Chinese parts from ebay.  I added a few more 1/2" holes in the bottom to improve air flow Also added a 3" vent stack since the...

    trader joes usually sells great products.  what most people don't realize is that they are basically buying other companies' products and branding them with their own name.  You can try searching "who make trader joes briquettes" and a few theories come up.  The companies and trader joes are...

    Shipping of pellets is crazy expensive

    If you get in a pinch, there's probably a local Ace Hardware store near you that stocks Traeger pellets and they run around $20/bag.  If not, they can get them for you, most Ace stores get a delivery every week from the main warehouse. I'm not a fan of their pellets, but something is better...

    Creosote inside Masterbuilt 30" Analog

    Yes, at add a 3" vent, but put in the side at the top/back, not in the top like I did. I also add a few more small holes 1/2"-5/8" in the bottom, too.  I close them as needed BTW, the temp guage isn't even close to accurate and the temp dial on the heating element is inconsistent. Get a PID...

    Chicken Thighs

    Have you check that your cabinet probe is accurate and/or if you have the junior model, are you using the dial temp gauge located on the door. That would be my first guess. I have a larger 075 and I'm still not a fan.  Mainly because I don't use it enough and I keep going back to my...

    avocado....

    We had avos on our property in SoCal.  They take quite a few years(7 years +/-) to start producing fruit.  Many of the varieties need a pollinator, such as Haas.  So when you have a seed from a store bought avo, you are getting a cross between a haas and a maybe a fuerte.  Some day, you could...
