    Rookie Question

    Oh yeah, one other thing...the factory thermometer makes a nice paper weight, at least that's true with mine. It read ~150F when the smoker is off and the outside air temp id 45F.  Purchase a digital dual probe that can measure both the meat and the oven interior itself.  Well worth the money...

    Rookie Question

    You're going to want to modify the chip pan by foiling the vents closed and lifting it about 3/4" to an inch off the base of the smoker so the heat can flow between the burner and bottom of the pan.  Before I did (after reading another post here in the forum) I was burning through chips like...

    Masterbuilt xl help

    Not sure if this is your issue but when I modified my chip pan on my XL, there was no longer a direct path for the heat to get in to the chamber as I had closed the vents through the pan.  I cut up an old patio block and put it under the pan's feet and raised the base of the pan off the...

    Smoking my first Ribeye Roast for Christmas Dinner! Help:)

    Take this for what it is worth as this was only my third smoke...but I did read a lot of posts here and these guys are good!  I did two six-pounders yesterday...Fantastic!  All I did was rub them both with EVOO and then a very healthy rub of garlic powder, Montreal Steak, and Smokehouse Maple. ...

    Initial Setup and Using the Masterbuilt Vertical Propane Smoker

    I followed the advice on foiling the pan and it was perfect for stopping the flames from catching the chips on fire.  I was smoking a big batch of wings, it was ~24 F outside and I noticed I could not get the temperature over 210 F.  I then realized that, on my unit anyway, blocking the flames...

    Initial Setup and Using the Masterbuilt Vertical Propane Smoker

    I'd also like to know some of the "why's", Krullion.  Just did my first smoke with my new Masterbuilt XL.  Taste was pretty good but a bit too much smoke for my taste.  I had one heck of a time achieving TBS, never fully got there...lucky I live out in the sticks or the fire department may have...

    Question on Cooking Times

    Hey Y'all Just a newbie with another dumb question...So, let's say I have a piece of meat that takes X-hours per pound for a total of 6 hours.  If I put three more pieces the same approximate weight in the smoker, it would still take the same 6 hours for all four pieces, yes?  I mean, it's not...

    Brand New and Reporting for Duty!

    Hey folks....brand new to the wonderful world of smoking.  My name is Bill and my wife Nancy and I live about 45 minutes or so west of Indianapolis, IN.  We love grilling out (CharBroil InfraRed) and have been talking about getting a smoker for some time now.  After tasting smoked turkey and ham...

    Why Not Chunks?

    Ok, this may be a dumb question but I'm a newbie and on my maiden voyage. Presently cooking a pork roast and noticed how much the temp drops as I add new wood chips.  I have a Masterbuilt XL propane smoker and it says to not use chunks.  Just curious as to why but not willing to find out on my...
