i think i'm sold...

[jftx]

I think I'm sold on a Masterbuilt Extra Wide propane Smoker.  Unfortunately I'm only able to look at them on-line.  I really like being able to check things over before i buy them but i don't live anywhere close to a Bass Pro Shop.  I've read great things about it.  I like the size.  I just wonder if anyone out there has an opinion on it.  How well does the door seal?  Is that something i even need to worry about?    What is the construction like?  Pros/Cons?  Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. 

I added the link below.

Maybe this will help

I watched that and he didn't seem to have any complaints about it.  Sounds pretty good.  I hope someone who owns one will chime in.

I just received my Masterbuilt gasser and after assembly,  I can see a couple mods but nothing really serious.  Yes some door rope or a similar sealer would help.

What kind of mods are you thinking other than the woodchip pan? Can you tell me more about door tape or a different kind of gasket?

So far I can't find any high temp door rope so I just might used some high temp RTV sealant (that I use on my Mustang and Chebbie motor) around the door opening.   This will smoke seepage around the door.

Maybe this isn't the right place to ask this question. I could start another thread but I thought I'd run it by you guys.So you can use an AMZNPS to cold smoke in a gasser like the Master Built and turn it into a small smokehouse? I’ve read that the burners can be changed out to be used along with a needle gauge to get consistent lower tempts for cold smoking.I’m looking to buy something on Craig’s list and then do the mods if that is the case. I think I’d like to have a nice stick burner and a propane smoker for cold smoking and something little closer to “set it and forget” than the stick burner when I can’t commit to a whole day hangout in the back yard. Thoughts?

I found this smoker on Cabela's website under a different name.  They call it the  Masterbuilt 40" Verticle Propane Smoker.  it costs a little bit more but it comes with two suasage racks and a cover.  They also have free shipping right now which means if i go with this one I wil get the sausage racks and the cover for less than what i would pay for just the smoker from Basspro after shipping is charged.
