    Initial Setup and Using the Masterbuilt Vertical Propane Smoker

    Smoker21 - My unit did not come with sht wheels. It came with NO wheels. Check out post #186. I built a small dolly of scrap rough cut 1inch wood I had laying around and then attached it to the bottom of the stock legs. Then installed 3inch diameter industrial casters on a 3/8 threaded stud into...

    Initial Setup and Using the Masterbuilt Vertical Propane Smoker

    jimmy1957 You probably wouldn't need the lid. I think, in some perverse way it helps to reduce flare ups, keeps juices off the wood, helps moderate temp, or just IS because that's how it was given to me - which all contribute to my enjoyment of smoking. If I ever have to replace it,  I will...

    Initial Setup and Using the Masterbuilt Vertical Propane Smoker

    Cast Iron Chip Pan. This one was given to me. I have no idea what brand or where it even came from??  Works great though. The bolts are drilled and tapped for any needed height adjustments. These photos where taken when the smoker was brand new.

    Initial Setup and Using the Masterbuilt Vertical Propane Smoker

    Mine is two yrs old. I never needed the needle valve mod or the door gasket mod. Mine can be set as low as 100 degrees F and is very stable with the stock controls. The door seals just fine. I got rid of the stock chip pan. I never used it once. Anyone want to trade for a AMNPS product?  I have...

    Masterbuild XL Mods - Post your mods here!

    After reading all the posts about challenges with the propane valve,  I too was amazed that mine would go so low and maintain temp accurately and repeatably. I measure the temp with external probes. I do have the stock chip replaced with a cast iron chip box that I had laying around. It would...

    Masterbuild XL Mods - Post your mods here!

    You might want to try it without the Mod first. I bought mine about a year ago. I did not have any problems with getting the temp below 100 degrees with the stock propane valve on the unit. Mine is very stable on temps and required no Mods to get stable temps at 225 or even down below 100...
