    Smoke stops after 20 mins. Can't hold 250 degrees

    One of my smokers is the Master Forge dual door propane smoker.  I have used it for about 2 years now.  Like already stated fist sized chunks of wood work way better then chips.  Don't worry about the lid of the wood tray sitting correctly.  I load it with about 3 chunks and put the lid on top. ...

    Missing smoke flavor

    Thank you for your thoughts.  I am confident in my cooking temperature.  I use a digital probe and two oven thermometers.  I have been using wood chips from local grocery market.  I never thought to check for fillers or how old they are.  I will look into that and try a different brand/kind. ...

    Newbie. HELP ME PICK MY SMOKER!

    I have a verticle propane master forge.  My biggest complaint is the size.  I wish it was wider so I could fit full racks of ribs without trimming them down.  I would go with the wider body.  With the propane smoker you don't need to stoke the fire and rarely should need to add wood so opening...

    Newbie With A Master Forge Propane Smoker

    I have had this smoker for over a year now.  My first few attempts with it I couldn't get the temps above 170.  After messing around and using an infared thermometer I found that the water pan was too large and not allowing any ariflow to rise.  My burner chamber was over 350 degrees.  I remvoed...
