Hi folks....just a quick intro.  I just purchased my first smoker.  Its a Masterbuilt 30 inch Electric Digital Stainless Steel Smokehouse with RF remote.  I just purchased it yesterday and after the 3 hour break in, I proceeded to smoke a 12 lb turkey.  I should say proceeded to immolate it!.....It was so bad that I threw the entire bird in the garbage.  I followed the directions for smoking a turkey that was included in the instruction manual but no luck.  Also, this unit comes equipped with a built in internal thermometer but either I stuck it in the bird wrong, or it is malfunctioning.  I will test it out later.  

Anyway, this site was recommended by a member of another forum, so here I am.  Eager to learn....so let the education begin!

Hello Daniel

Welcome to the forum.  We are happy you are here.  We have a huge number of Masterbuilt folks here. Be sure to join the Masterbuilt Group for tips on the care and feeding of your unit. 

It's unusual that your first smoke turned out so badly on a Masterbuilt. You didn't specify why it was bad. Under cooked? Over Cooked? Bad flavor? 

Another note is the meat probe that came with your units is... I hate to say it... junk. They are nitoriuos for being way out of calibration. Most of us have given up and now use the Maverick 2 probe thermometers. 

I'll send you a private message with a link to this site for a step by step on smoking a turkey.  Bet we can figure out what went wrong.
