    Dyna-glo 43in wide body propane smoker

    Does anyone know anything about these, or the company, they any good, do they suck down the propane, leak terribly, have a terrible smoke, or water pan, poor circulation. Any info would help, my old smoker is starting to walk on its last legs and i am looking at a new one. I have heard that the...

    Advise on new meat slicer

    Well the day after i posted this thread, i found a listing on craigslist for a General 10" slicer, it was a older model one, but it also was only $100, and was only missing the slicer deflector, and i found that on ebay for $7 it runs, everything moves like it should, it needs some serious...

    Advise on new meat slicer

    I have had a chefs choice for a while, and it has served me well, but i want to step up to a larger more professional unit to get those consistent deli ultra thin slices. i would like to keep it in the $350-400 range, but am willing to go up to $500 I remember reading some threads on the...

    Masterbuild XL Mods - Post your mods here!

    Made a minor mod to how mine is set up, mine is now a pellet smoker only, using one of the amazing tube smokers, with some of what i have i could easily still make it a chunks or chips burner, i even have the iron skillet, but for the most part i prefer the pellets. The sand is to help maintain...

    A-MAZ-N-TUBE-SMOKER in my Masterbuilt Smokehouse Propane Smoker

    nope the smoker does not have an extra vent in the bottom, i have thought of adding one, but as long as the tube smoker works without it, i wont. And as far as i know the tube only smokes pellets, but i really hope it will burn dust as i ordered 5lbs of mesquite dust while thinking i was...

    A-MAZ-N-TUBE-SMOKER in my Masterbuilt Smokehouse Propane Smoker

    first, to answer your water or sand question, i use sand, as to the advantages/disadvantages of pellets over chips/chucks, for me, its cost and storage size, per hour of smoke the pellets are a little cheaper, for the storage comment you have to take into consideration the smoke time vs space...

    A-MAZ-N-TUBE-SMOKER in my Masterbuilt Smokehouse Propane Smoker

    I got one in and have tested it in my masterbuilt xl, i cranked the temp to give it a good test, and here are the results, it burned as expected for the 4-5 hrs that the 12" is said to smoke (noticed it was closer to 5hrs then 4) and this is with some 100% cherry pellets i found on amazon 20lbs...

    You could check home depot or lowe's for a pipe of the right diameter for the wheels at least if the wheels are just as pictured and have the barrings in the center. For that matter if you can find a bolt of the right dia you could just bolt the wheels directly to your cart by drilling holes in...

    Newbie With A Master Forge Propane Smoker

    try running the smoker without chips in the chip pan (but do put the pan in) and fill the water, see if your temps spike or are consistently where you want them, i have this smoker as well, and added the pin valve, but also raised the water & chip pan by drilling new holes, so both are as high...

    Not really, the only thing that i have found is, you can light it outside of the smoker, but once you move it, you have to re-light it. my guess is, that it has something to do with either the coals being moved around, or a difference in O2 once it is inside. The one thing that i have noticed...

    If you want to build a similar cart, for mine i built it to mirror closely the dimensions of the smoker so i could get a 60-65 inch standard grill cover and use it for the entire thing. so its pretty wide, and i had to use 6 casters to make it work otherwise the weight of the smoker bent the...

    Got the smoke stack in, and installed, put the cement board as insulation inside it, but have it removed for now as the outside temp is in the high 80's low 90's around here, and getting the internal temp down to 225 is impossible with the board in it. put RTV high temp silicone gasket maker...
