    Smoking Saturday for Easter Sunday?

    Hi All, I have 2 legs of lambs planed for lunch Easter Sunday. As I reevaluate quantities one is probably enough, which gives me the opportunity to smoke the other if I can do so on Saturday.

    First Smoke Chuck Roast

    My first Smoke   I have been itching to use this Masterbuilt Charcoal Smoker, since I got it a few weeks ago and Saturday I got the chance. For anyone with a similar smoker I have switched the charcoal pan to a wok topper and have swapped the thermometer.  I like brisket but want to work my...

    New in Chapel Hill, NC

    After lurking here for many months to research I finally bought my first smoker this weekend. I found an open box Masterbuild Vertical Charcaol Smoker for a price too good to pass up. I have purchased a wok to use as a charcoal pan, a thermometer to replace the stock one and will seal the doors...
