    Venison Sausage Question

    Thanks for all the replies and information. I'm glad I asked because there is definitely some good info here. I had not considered cutting with beef or pork. I was thinking I would just smoke some deer meat and call it good because the ground venison I have already has fat added to it. If...

    Venison Sausage Question

    I would like to make some venison sausage to share with family. I want to do some summer sausage and maybe some bratwurst and kielbasa. Can I do it without nitrates or nitrites or is that a fundamental requirement? Can I, instead, salt cure it? I have looked for several recipes and they all...

    Masterbuild XL Mods - Post your mods here!

    It would be pretty easy to cut that square out now that you have those 1/2" holes in the top. Also, I have an AMTS and I've found that it's All about placement. I moved my water pan up a little bit and placed one of the racks as low as possible. I place the tube smoker on the left hand side...

    Masterbuild XL Mods - Post your mods here!

    I too added a stack to mine but I went with the Landmann stack instead of the Masterforge.  I like the overall design for a couple of reasons.  As you can see in the picture below, the rain cap is domed instead of pointy.  I think that it will wear easier on my cover.  I also like the fact that...

    Pellets and Sawdust Overstock Sale - 20% Off!

    I bought an 18" tube smoker from Todd a while back and after using it for several months, I decided that a 12" would suit my needs better. Rather than ordering a new 12" smoker, I asked Todd if I could order some new end caps so I could cut the tube down to 12".  Rather than sending me a price...

    Masterbuilt XL Temp issues

    I would go with a needle valve but like i said in my post i'm concerned with the wind blowing the flame out.  I think i'll try lum charcoal next time.

    Masterbuilt XL Temp issues

    I tried making some jerky a couple of weeks ago.  The plan was to start around 150 degrees and go up from there.  On low my Masterbuilt reached 200.  I know I can turn it past high and get the flame lower but with West Texas winds I run the risk of the flame blowing out.  Also, with the flame...
