    Masterbuilt Cust. Serv. Is TOPS!

    I have a stainless steel model MES. It is about 3 years old. You can turn it on and within an hour it will trip the breaker. Anyone else had this problem? Daniel

    New Smoker (I can quit when I want)

    Welcome to the forum. You will quickly find that you won't need a Holiday just to fire up the smoker or fryer or grill or dutch ovens or ground pits or well you get the idea, just the whole experience of outdoor cooking is enough and everyday you do it will be a "Holiday" of some sorts. Also you...

    I have read on here that a 2-2-1 is better for BB's and 3-2-1 is better for Spares

    chargriller temps

    I have a Char griller and the only thing I have done is flip the charcoal grate in cook chamber up-side down when smoking. Mine will maintain 230-250 with a digital probe about an inch above the cooking grate on the exhaust stack end. I start mine with a chimney and half of kingsford and add a...

    Branson

    McFarlands is a must. It is toward the end of 76 Country Blvd across from Country Tonight. It is in with the IMAX. I believe it is 376 that you turn on. We will be heading out there next month. If you want a good meal and show, the Dixie Stampede is an good dinner show. I think there is an...

    Barrel Pit questions

    I posted pics of a barrel smoker I am in process of building. I was glancing through this post and was wandering if the pipes I am using to connect the fire box barrel to the main chamber barrel will be to big or if it matters on the size of the connection tubes and the vent size is whats critical.

    Smoker build in process

    I haven't been here in a while and haven't got to keep up with the forum, but here is what I have been working on this week. I decided to build a barrel smoker. I used a 55 gal. for the smoke chamber/grill and a 35 gal. for the fire box. This is what I have done so far.

    Deer Loin Help...

    First off, you dont need anything to help tenderize it. Loin is the best cut of meat and the most tender. You can use any kind of a good rub on them, you dont have to inject them either. You can wrap bacon around them and make a filet mignon and then smoke them like you would anything else.

    Charcoal baskets

    I use one of these in the main chamber of my CG Pro when cooking indirect. Other than a slight warp, it has held up good. By slight warp I mean it just don't sit flat anymore.

    Brisket Question

    I just picked up a half of beef from the butchers shop and had a brisket cut for me. I was expecting more than what I got. I got 2 pieces that weigh about 2 1/2 pounds each. They are about a foot square and about 1 1/2 inches thick. I have read several posts about smoking briskets and they seem...

    Modest Beginings of Ye' Old smoker

    Well it probably should but I do things backwards!!! ha ha ha. I have a friend that builds concrete batch systems and he is going to roll a couple 4x8 sheets of 1/4 inch into the chamber and side fire box. The chamber should end up to be 4 feet long and roughly 3 foot diameter. Fire box will be...

    Modest Beginings of Ye' Old smoker

    Finished narrowing the frame last night. Don't have a pic yet but will post one later today. I guess I can expound a little more on the project. A friend/co-worker was scrapping out the pop-up camper. I had asked him if he had just an axle laying around. He told me about the camper. I was just...

    Modest Beginings of Ye' Old smoker

    Well here is the humble begining of my pull behind. I don't have a pic of it before I tore the frame from under a popp-up camper, but you can get an idea. This one is after I widened the axle. This is after narrowing the frame work on the right side and starting the railing. I I will keep...
