    MASTERBUILT XL

    sorry for the late reply guys... been on vacation. the Lava Rocks are a great idea...- I was told to use a larger drip pan to "shield" the meats from the direct heat...do you use  a larger drip pan? Did you 2-2-1 them? how long did the jerky take??

    no- didnt upgrade water pan.... and when water ran out- i didn't refill... heard the moisture in meat comes from meat- not waterpan....? my buddy told me to wait until the internal temp of ribs was 190+... i had never heard of that with ribs- just butt and shoulder (meaty stuff)??? not sure...?

    MASTERBUILT XL

    SOUNDS GREAT....I agree S2K9K, I need to get busy and get after it - that XL will cook a lot- i think i will try both chicken and ribs.... maybe a pork loin and wait on the long smokes and expensive meat cuts.....until I have more experience... I think wings may be in order as well.... dry smoke...
