    Just got Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite 40" Vertical Gas Smoker

    Like most others I use a number 8 cast iron skillet, but I use wood chunks instead of chips.  Chunks smoke for a long time, last smoke I did was a boneless pork butt roast.  Didn't know such a cut existed, but I figured it was a boneless pork butt.  I smoked it for about 7 hours for pulled pork...

    newbie needs smoker advice!

    Just got Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite 40" Vertical Gas Smoker

    I have the same smoker but from BPS.  Looks like you got a different handle than me, but otherwise the same.  I think cabelas gives you a cover though.  I have a thread in propane smokers with some qview.  It really works great.  Its my first smoker and I could get used to this real quick.  I...

    Early Christmas present - UPDATED WITH Q-View.
