    Here goes nothing!

    So today I bought a 9.1lb brisket flat. One end seems to be thicker than the other, not sure if that's normal because I've never cooked one. I want to smoke it in my masterbuilt 30. I've been reading through the forum and there's so much info it's a little overwhelming. I want to eat it for...

    Baby Got Back

    I'm going to smoke 4 racks of baby back ribs for the first time in my masterbuilt 30, on Saturday. I'm doing a basic rub, apple juice in the pan, and apple chips.

    Ribs

    So I'm currently smoking beef and pork ribs following the 3-2-1 method. The only thing I can't find is to put water in the pan or not. I put some apple juice, should I pull it out?

    A few questions

    I've been reading through posts quite a bit, mainly about smoking whole chickens, and I have a few questions. Smoke the whole time up to 165. Is 165 the internal temp, or the temp of your smoke.

    Newbie Here

    Merry Christmas! My husband and I received a master built digital smoker 30” from a white elephant game we played. We have no idea how to use it! We’ve never smoked anything and well.... the manual is extremely vague and not much help. Does this machine need seasoned? Where do we even begin?
