    Smoke Tube in my MPS for Cold Smoking

    I have an MPS currently and a 12inch AMZN Tube Smoker. This fall I am planning to do some cold smoked bacon. Will running just the tube in the bottom with no gas still be too hot? I would prefer not to cut a hole in the cabinet to run ducting for a mailbox.

    Wrapping hasn't broke stall

    I am doing first brisket in a long time. It is in the 15-16# range and took about 8 or 9 hours to stall at 143 cooking between 230 and 240. I wrapped in butcher paper about an 90 minutes ago and it has only moved to 147 and has stuck there for 30 mins or so. When I wrapped I raised the temp to...

    First Chuckie

    I am doing my first Chuckie today. It got to 150 and stalled so I brought it in and wrapped it in butcher paper. When I put the probe back I can't find that spot again and it has basically fluctuated between 135 and 140 for the last two hours regardless of where I put the probe. Could the paper...

    Auto-Temperature Control MPS

    I have a 2 rack Sportsman Elite MPS that I have added a BBQGuys gasket and a Bayou Classic 10 psi needle valve regulator. Are there any auto regulating thermostats that can be used for this type of smoker? Not to be lazy but it would be awesome if I can use probe temps and feed that to a...

    First Overnight for the 4th

    I decided to do my first overnight brisket to get ready for the 4th. It started as a 15# packer that I trimmed up and rubbed with coarse pepper and kosher salt. In it went at 9:30 pm with Hickory smoke between 265-280 measured right below the meat. The goal was 275 but I just couldn't hold that...

    Where to put my brisket?

    I have an MPS with two racks. I am doing a packer brisket for the 4th. Which rack do I put it on? I also plan on doing some ribs either after the brisket is done or toward the end. Can I Add the ribs in at the end on the other rack?

    First Time Ribs on the Smoker

    For Father's Day I had my first attempt at ribs in the smoker. I bought two racks of spareribs and coated them with Dinosaur BBQ rub from the store. I did one rack for 2 hrs smoke then wrapped with some apple juice for two more hours. The other rack was dry for the first 3:45 and sauced and...

    Add-On Gasket Really Works

    I have an 2 rack single door MPS. I installed a third party nomex gasket and it really helped stabilize the temp. I didn't have to adjust the flame until it got over 90 degrees outside.

    Shoulder taking forever

    This is my first smoke and I am doing cochinita. I cut an 8 pound shoulder in half to make two batches. The meat is taking forever. I was under the assumption of 1.5 hr per pound but it has been going for 7.5 hours and it is barely to 170. Different parts of the meat are measuring wildly...

    Wash before use

    I just received a tube smoker yesterday and plan to use it on today's smoke. Can I just wash it with soap and water or do I have to season it on the grill prior to use?

    When to Add More Wood

    This may be dumb but how often do I add wood? I plan to use chunks and from what I read I should use 2 or so pieces at a time.

    First Time Smoke

    I was planning on Christening my new smoker with a brisket this weekend but would it be better to start with something else. I have never smoked before but brisket doesn't seem that difficult from reading but I am sure you all may have a different opinion.

    Flat or Whole Brisket

    Doing my first smoke/brisket this weekend and I have one question: Should I do a whole brisket or just get a flat? Is doing just the flat appreciably easier than doing the whole thing?

    New from North Jersey

    Hi all. I got a single door Masterbuilt Propane Smoker for Christmas and ready to go. I have already ordered a needle valve and gasket material to upgrade it. Hope to season it tomorrow and do some brisket this weekend. Have already learned a lot and am excited to get going.

    Protective Mat Needed?

    I received a MPS for Christmas and am finally going to use it. I plan to use it in my asphalt driveway. With my grill on my deck I have one of these to protect the deck: https://www.homedepot.com/p/The-Original-Grill-Pad-42-in-x-30-in-Rectangle-Earthtone-Deck-Protector-GP-42/100328284 Do I need...
