My buddy just got this smoker, I like it a lot. The build quality seems to be pretty good. And I really like the smaller door at the bottom that allows replacing the wood without opening the main door and loosing heat.
Upper box is (door opening) 21 1/4 x 14 wide. Trays are 14 wide by 13 1/2 deep. Just purchased the Master Forge to compliment my heavily modified but MUCH larger GOSM. I'll take the Master Forge with me when I go camping with my Travel Trailer. It's compact size lends itself favorably. It definitely is a smoke leaker, but you shouldn't be making so much smoke, except for initial seasoning. A little tweaking here and there, it's all good. BIG burner plate, comparable to my BB GOSM, so heat in this small box is going to really swing when the door is opened. Answer: modification of the door with glass. Works great (already done with my BB GOSM). Door Temp gauge? I ignore it because I use the Maverick ET-73 to monitor smoker temp. And yes, the factory temp gauge is about 30-40 degrees high. Totally unsatisfactory for smoking cheese or sausages or any other temp critical smoke.Does anyone have the dimensions of the box of this smoker? Lowes' web site doesn't list any dimensions.
Thanks
