I got an entry level vertical electric “Masterbuilt” smoker. One with the glass door. Temp mas is 275 degrees.
I put in a 5 lb whole chicken and a rack of pork ribs today. “Masterbuilt” smoking chart says to set temp for 225 degrees for 4 to 5 hours. I went with 5 hours since chicken was 5 lbs.
I added 3/4 cup of water in pan and a few hardwood pellets.
5 hours later I open the door to check meat temp with a digital thermometer. The temp in both was 142 degrees !!
It’s suppose to be at least 165 degrees.
The smoking process was completed. What did I do wrong ??
I had to put it in the oven to get 165 degrees !!
I’m new to this. What did I do wrong !!??
