    4/16/2011 Pork Butt and Chuckie with Qview!

    I was thinking the same thing, Bear. Fortunately since then it had slowed down a bit. The chuck is at 159 and the pork is 149.

    4/16/2011 Pork Butt and Chuckie with Qview!

    Hey everyone!  I just got the Masterbuilt XL propane smoker and I wanted to see what it could do.  I bought a beautiful 7 pound organic bone-in boston butt, and a 3 pound grass fed organic beef chuck roast with some killer marbling.  Here is a pic of the butt: First I created my rub.  It's...

    Masterbuild XL Mods - Post your mods here!

    I was using a cast iron pan on top of the existing (flawed) factory chip pan that came with the XL, but I think the factory chip pan was dissipating more heat than I wanted and I wasn't getting enough smoke.  I was thinking about getting a stove grate like others have on this forum, but I...

    New user hello, and I blame all of you!

    Hey Otis- I just got the XL and I have concerns about the chips burning (or lack of burning) and airflow. Do you think you can post your chimney mod?

    One of the best things about smoking a lot of food is...

    Oh shoot! Forgot about the beer. In my house if I don't have a beer in my hand when I am smoking or grilling, my wife says I'm doing it wrong. One more thing to add to the above- tearin that first piece of bark off to snack on. Best bite ever.

    One of the best things about smoking a lot of food is...

    For me it is the entire process.  Getting up at 2:00 AM to get the smoker up and going.  The first smell of smoke in the early morning.  Rubbing the meat and getting my hands dirty.  That little nap you take in between checking on the meat.  Pulling out a perfect pork butt from the smoker, and...

    First run with Masterbuilt XL Smoker! (Assembly and mini Qview)

    Well, it came out OK.  I think it would have done better with a brine overnight.  Overall it wasn't bad!  I need to learn this smoker, and this was a good first step to get there.  Here is what it looked like after a couple hours: and here is what it looked like after 4 hours when I took it...

    I got my Masterbuilt XL propane smoker delivered today, and I set it up right away.  First thing I did was unbox it and check the parts.  Everything was well packed and looked great: Here is a close up of the packaged parts: Here is the assembled smoker.  Overall everything is in good...
