Thanks for the pics TheShrimpPimp! I'll second the modifying the water pan. I only had a drill and not a heavy duty cutter so I simply made some big holes around the flange of the water pan to help heat pass through. I've bought the 3/8" gasket and glue but haven't got around to sealing the...
So I have the old version of the Masterforge smoker without the side table. I tried most things to prevent my wood chunks from going up in flames - soaking them for 30 minutes, soaking them for a couple of hours, putting foil over the top of the wood tray and poking holes, etc. In every case...
So despite some mistakes, the salmon was still enjoyed by the in-laws. the mother-in-law even asked to take some home. :)
1) While the brine was room temp when I applied it, I put the fish in the fridge with the brine solution. I wasn't sure and didn't see your reply until after the fact.
2)...
Thank you for the tips Art - and most of all, your patience! :) I got 4lb of fresh (farmed) steelhead from Costco, as it was either that or farm Atlantic (which had been fileted without skin). I know I wasn't ready to try Copper River at a premium price in the event I somehow messed things...
Thanks Art - I've done planking on the grill a few times with salmon and cedar and had good results. Practically, that is what I should be doing again this time. In reality, my mother-in-law wants me to try smoking it in my smoker as cooked salmon.
So I guess it really comes down to this: if...
Thanks for the responses and thank you Art for responding! :) The smoked salmon I am cooking will be the main dish that is to be served hot/warm. I want it to get some smoke flavor and didn't want to do the quick grill and done. Is there a happy medium where I can use my smoker to cook it (at...
Hi!
I agreed to smoke a salmon for my in-laws even though I haven't done one before. Up to now I've been sticking to pulled pork with some experimentation with ribs and chicken. After reading through some of the posts in this forum, I'm likely to follow AKhap's method here...
Thanks David - I remember reading your post earlier. Home Depot online didn't have anything smaller than 3/8" as I recall and their self adhesive was 1/2". As a number of posts I read showed Master Forge owners using 3/8", I thought I should be safe getting it...
I am considering widening the...
So right after I posted about some questions I had in regard to using the 3/8" gasket, I see that you did the same thing a couple months ago. After gluing in the gasket did you have any issues with getting the door closed and latched? I was playing with the gasket by lining it around without...
Based on what I've read from other users here I bought myself a 3/8" gasket and high-temp glue. In placing the gasket around the edge as a test (without glue), I'm very worried that the door will not close and latch completely. Am I missing something, such as the gasket will compress more than...
David - why tape over rope? Curious as it seems like most mods I've seen were using rope.
Dave - Thanks! I did find the rope and RTV silicone on Ace's website and can ship it to a store nearby.
Thanks Dave - great advice. I had no idea (obviously)!
After some reading of old threads I have a fair idea on some of the other questions I've asked. Having a hard time finding oven gasket at Lowes or HD but I'm guessing it is because they don't consider winter smoking season. :)
Looks like...
First off, I must say that since I joined this forum a week ago I've learned a ton and everyone has been very friendly and awesome! I should have joined here on or before day 1 of owning my MF (which I've had for 1.5 years)!!
Even though I've done about 10 smokes (mostly pork shoulder), I...
Kathryn - how did the tube work out for you on your gas smoker? After contacting Todd I went ahead and ordered one over the weekend.
Also, a big "thank you" to everyone who responded to my questions on this thread!! I did 2 5 lb. pork shoulders yesterday, staying true to the "low and slow"...
