Pellet Smoker Fridge Conversion
I have just recently upgraded my Pellet Pro with the new PID controller and plan to make a video outside to review it when I get a chance and it's not terrible weather outside. For now, let's say I'm very impressed! LMK if there are any questions.- mikemav

Pellet Smoker Fridge Conversion
I ordered my Pellet Pro earlier in the week and it's arrived! I'm going to start out modding a cabinet I already have. It's just a Masterbuilt XL 40" smoker (propane chip burner now) that I hope to better insulate and convert to full wood pellet burner like your fridge. I like the size of the...- mikemav

Masterbuild XL Mods - Post your mods here!
I see where you're coming from (says the guy who just spent $325 to convert a $199 smoker to an automated pellet burner, lol!) Still, from this relative newb's perspective, I think there is a big price cliff between really pro-sumer/semi-pro and "competition" or small restaurant/catering setups...- mikemav

Masterbuild XL Mods - Post your mods here!
Now I've gone and done it, lol! Converting my 40" Masterbuilt into a true wood fired pellet burner with the Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro hopper assembly/burn pot, which is due to arrive later this week. Will be making a heat deflector and drip shield and basically just using this XL40 for a cabinet...- mikemav

My First Cheese Smoke w/ q-View!
All the samples in this thread look great! Picked up some 3 year aged cheddar and gouda at Costco for a run tomorrow. Cheese rookie, quick question: what is the downside to not waiting 3 weeks? Is it just too harsh too eat without the resting time? Proper way is to vac pack it, and then what...- mikemav

Masterbuild XL Mods - Post your mods here!
I just got around to installing it today. Have not had time to try it yet, but it looks like it'll do the trick. Not wanting to try to cut out a 2" square, I simply drilled nine holes in that opening space w/ my 1/2" titanium bit without issue. Seal w/ a little food-safe red RTV and bolt it...- mikemav

Okay the Master Forge $15 smoker stack chimney I mentioned earlier arrived, but looks different than the pictures others have posted. This one is square. Opening is only about 2"x2" so I hope that has enough draw to pull the air through better than the stock rear sliding vent. I suppose it might...- mikemav

Hi everyone. Great forum! I just wanted to share my experience trying to order the smoker stack listed earlier by several who have used this to mod the Masterbuild XL. I called Master Forge support line listed near the beginning of this thread with that part# in had. First, it takes about 30...- mikemav
