ok. Bought a masterbuilt 7-1 this weekend. Was used but for 20 buks its OK. Fired her up, and was going to cook me some baby backs. Well it went south from there. At about the 3 hour mark they seemed to be done with the meat therm, but I thought no way they can be done in 3 hours. Guess I was wrong. Cooked for anohter hour and that was all she wrote. Came out black and wayy over cooked. I had a hard time keeping the heat within range. The 7-1 smoker has no way of regulating the incoming air on that bottom. Anyone use this type that can send me some pointers?
I used plain coals kingford with the Minion method etcc to start. I used NO watet pan. I did not even have it in the cooker. Also I replaced the temp gage first thng..So I feel I am getting correct temps etc.. Any help for the next batch lol
