    Dutch's "Wicked Baked Beans"

    I didn't want to look through the hundreds of replies so I apologize in advance if this has already been answered. I'm still a newbie when it comes to smoking, but I wanted to know if I was to put this pan of beans in the smoker along with my ribs would it effect the cooking time on the ribs?

    Masterbuilt XL cover???

    I bought the Charbroil cover mentioned in the first reply. It fits great, but be careful when you put it on because it is a snug fit and the corner of the smoker might rip it. I ripped mine, but it was just a small tear so I just put a piece of gorilla tape over it. It doesn't cover the entire...

    Question on wood chunks

    Spoolinaz, what about soaking the chips? Is that not necessary to do or just soak them and not the chunks?

    Question on wood chunks

    I got the MB XL a few months ago. I sprayed the inside of my smoker, including the grates and door, with some cooking oil. I didn't actually do any smoke when i seasoned it, but I heard you can.

    1st time smoking boston butt

    I'll start this off by saying that I've only been smoking for a few months now and the only thing I have smoked so far has been ribs and pork chops. I finally had a free Saturday to do a boston butt and this Saturday couldn't have been any better. The weather was perfect and the beer was cold...

    First smoke on Masterbuilt XL

    Well I had my first smoke on my new Masterbuilt XL gas smoker. It went ok, but I'm ready to smoke more! I wasn't sure on the ambient temp so I think I might have misjudged it and dried out my ribs. I bought an oven thermometer to place inside, but the reading on it seemed to be anywhere from...
