    Masterbuilt Pro Dual Fuel Smoker - First Smokes with Q-View

    Looks like some good eatin' When I had my Masterbuilt propane I used to take strips of foil and fold them over to one inch wide to cover the slits in the wood pan, it helped keep them from burning up too quick.  I highly recommend a cover as well, unless they changed the burner to something...

    Brinkmann Trailmaster MOD

    NJ, How well did your plates work for you?  Did you find any problems or additional changes you had to make to them?  can you provide the dimensions of the plate?  I am wondering if there is a need to drill holes in them like the horizon or do the gaps let enough smoke through.  Thanks for the...

I covered the vents in the bottom of the wood dish with about an 8 inch piece of heavy duty aluminum foil folded over in 1" strip, then folded it in half to to length of the vents. The temp maintained at...

    Seasoning my new Masterbuilt

    I just ran a load of chunked Mesquite through to season the new smoker. I soaked the chunks for half an hour after cutting them down a little to 2-3 inch pieces. At the 15 minute mark it was at 150, 225 at the 25 minute point. This was with the gas turned all the way down. Question 1: Are...
