    Hmmm

    Seems as if I am being ignored as I have received no replies, but one, thanks David. I am not sure why as i was told to ask all I want, help was here, etc. yet I tried & still no replies to my last few posts, seeking advice.  Sorry to have bothered you, but I will move on, as I won't stay where...

    The Mods are done and the butts are on

    smokinGMA? I have a last minute question!  I didn't factor in the curvature of the smoker, so when I placed the Weber vent as you have yours, there is some gaps! I tried to bend it gently & have done so, but in the turn of the vent, more gaps open, but of course, when open, there is not the...

    Smoked burgers! Check em out.

    Sounds good TO as I may try that ! I also like the idea of a 75/25 or 80/20 mix! I have done that in meatloaf & in casseroles, but never tried for burgers!.  All good stuff guys - thanks!

    Smoked burgers! Check em out.

    It's all about personal preference, but how did you fix those burgers? What kind of meat & did you add any seasoning or liquid?  The local butcher says good ol' chuck, ground up, makes for the best burgers. I will say they do taste better just ground sirloin. I pick out a nice thick chuck...

    Hello From Southern California !

    Kat, I apologize for not seeing this earlier, forgive me, but thanks for the nice welcome & message & I will again read over the TOS. Yes, I will eventually post some photos but as of yet, I have not smoked a thing. I did the food free season burn & awaiting help on the vent locations for my...

    Master Forge Mod question

    Sorry as I am just anxious for my first attempt at smoking & I wanted some input re: the vent locations for optimal results. The date on the ribs is today, so in the freezer they will go, as I needed to start them within the hour & I have not even rubbed them down or trimmed them yet. Thanks...

    Master Forge Mod question

    Thanks again David! Yes, but was hoping to get some consensus from the experienced Smokers, unlike myself! I was afraid to drill the holes, then not have them in the best place, then I have another problem! I do want to add, I will be setting the MF Smoker inside a portable fire bowl. The bowl...

    Master Forge Mod question

    David, thanks so very much! I did the search but didn't see this one, but I saw several of the other models that had the extra space. but now I see this one & see it has the vent right against the fuel pot. Would it be good, bad, or not matter, if I put one as they did, side by side of the fuel...

    Master Forge Mod question

    Hi, The image you see is the same model I recently bought. I already modified the charcoal grate, & today I received the damper controls, which is where my question comes in. I have 3 of the units & will put one on top. Since this unit doesn't have the extra 6-8 inches below the bottom of the...

    Kingsford Briquettes --> Lump Charcoal?

    No, I am using a first time, MF Vertical Smoker, so it's a very different set up & this is anything but leak proof! I did shore up around the door as best I could.  Thanks anyway for your info. I am just trying to gather some opinions of the lump vs briquettes & the amount I would need in the...

    Kingsford Briquettes --> Lump Charcoal?

    If I missed it, I apologize, but if is there a difference in the amount of lump vs. briquettes? I still have yet to even smoke a piece of meat, as I only did the no food burn, but I had the briquettes about 2 deep around the grate. Does the lump have to be that much or a single layer & does the...

    Pre-Smoke Set up

    Thanks so much smokinGMA! How did your cookout go? if I may, what did you cook? And no reason to apologize as I forgot it was even a holiday ! Okay, yea, I over did it with the initial charcoal ! I was pleased to see how the heat slowly spread throughout the pan & how long it lasted! I should...

    Pre-Smoke Set up

    Any ideas? I don't even have the vents installed, however, they would just make the fire hotter, right? I have to cook the Tri Tip today as  I removed the roast from the freezer, 2 days ago & it was rubbed & wrapped all night, but I don't want to ruin it either. At worst, I can simply grill it...
