Hey friends,
I am not a newbie, but have not posted in a while. I purchased a Christmas Present for myself, a Lowe's Master Forge Vertical Gas Smoker. for some time I have been using a Brinkmann Smokin Pit Pro that my brother gave me and with your help I have done quiet well with it even on the mods, ( I am about as mechanical as a cinder block), but as it had to set outside with an old cover on it at my lake house where it is windy as hell it was about to give up the ghost due to rust especially in the side box where the charcoal went. I looked and researched and researched and looked and finally settled on the Lowe's Master Forge 2 door Vertical gas Smoker. I also went ahead and bought several types of wood chips in packages of 4-2lb. bag for each type of wood. I then ordered a new Maverick ET-73 Remote Smoker Thermometer. All that is left is to pick up a tank of Blue Rhino LP Gas from the Food City Store, hook it up and turn it on. Up until now most of what I needed for my charcoal smoker I either rigged or my father made. What I would like to know from you, my Smoking Meat Friends, who have provided me with some of the best recipes I have ever smelled and tasted, they were good enough to even change my Mom to a Smoked Meat Fan! and for that I thank you, Seeing it is still before Christmas please tell me what else I will need to really start smoking meat big time, please let me know of any gadgets, tools, etc. that you have used and like so I can gather them up for my own big stocking stuffers for Christmas. I would also love to here from anyone who has used one of these smokers and give me any advice on how to make it hum. I want to take this opportunity to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and the Smokiest New Year! If you think I should know it or could use it please give me a post.
