    My first smoke....happening now......suggestions?

    Wow....impressed even myself. So, cooked them for 3 hours.....took internal temps and they were great. They were delicious!   Moist meat, crisp skin, great smokey taste.   Now, need to go find cleaning suggestions.

    Tips - Advice - how to season a smoker?

    Have a new MasterBuilt 20050611 - the directions manual are pathetic. Want to make sure I do it right - what are the important basics to seasoning the smoker before I cook something in it?

    MasterBuilt 20050611 ???

It amazes me how poor a company's manuals can be in this day and age.  And there is basically no help at their website either.....very poor.  That company...

    Got a Master Built 20050611 as a gift for my birthday last week - very new to this.  Have been messing with BBQ for a while now, but smoking my own is an exciting idea.  Love the site so far!
