    Masterbilt Gas smoker rusting out - repair or replace (probably replace)

    So $20 for two steel panels at Lowe’s. Used wire cutters (because I couldn’t find my tin snips, and didn’t have an angle grinder and didn’t want to drive back out) so it’s very sloppy, but should get me by for the brisket I bought to smoke this weekend. And I remembered why I’m typically a...

    Masterbilt Gas smoker rusting out - repair or replace (probably replace)

    Good point about the draft and performance. Home Depot/Lowe’s sell sheet metal that may work. Yes, could buy new, but would like to avoid the landfill. I also try to fix/DIY a lot of stuff when I can. If it’s too far gone for me to get to working condition, I’m sure there will be someone on...

    Masterbilt Gas smoker rusting out - repair or replace (probably replace)

    Resurrecting this thread as the bottom of my smoker has also rusted out...but to a larger degree. For the moment, I'm going to use one of my four racks as a "replacement" bottom, as I rarely even use more than two racks to cook. Burner unit itself not too bad, still able to get clean blue...

    Mouse in my Masterbuilt

    Yeah, heard that as well. Just moved the smoker off of deck and onto a newly poured concrete pad a month ago, and actually do plan to plant mint around it (as well as around the other pad I ooured for a new hot tub - I’m told the heat will attract them for nesting in winter as well).

    Mouse in my Masterbuilt

    Came here to search and glad I'm not the only one! Opened up the smoker this morning to put some butts on and immediately saw nest on bottom, then the little f&*$r ran right out and under my deck. Threw an old piece of bait/poison out under to follow him...maybe he'll get it, who knows. I've...

    Spatchcock turkey

    Got home early just at 2 hours on the smoker and it settled in at 266. Breast temp was 136, so raising it up a little to finish off in another 45 min or so. Looks good so far!

    Spatchcock turkey

    Well, let's see how it goes. My Masterbuilt smoker got up to 310 after 20 min or so, added the wood and turkey at same time and turned the heat down a bit. Was at 242 when I walked at the door at 2:40pm. Even if it climbs back up to 310, think I should be in good shape by the time we are home...

    Spatchcock turkey

    I have a 12.5 lb bird rubbed up and in the fridge to dry before the super bowl. Thinking of keeping the heat around 275 on the smoker, what do we think a good cook time will look like? I need to be out of the house from 2:45-5pm for a kids BBall game before the Super Bowl (east coast), so...

    Initial Setup and Using the Masterbuilt Vertical Propane Smoker

    They are all the same, just different sellers. The colors are relatively new option. The ones that come with "meatheads temp guide" may have some affiliation to a different BBQ site (that's also a great resource). It looks like Amazon sells only the White directly...other colors are sold by...
