Master Forge Smoker temp not high enough
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...- weevil

Masterforge smoker help - chips/chunks going up in flames
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...- weevil

About to smoke my first salmon for the in-laws - question on smoker temp
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)... -
About to smoke my first salmon for the in-laws - question on smoker temp
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... -
About to smoke my first salmon for the in-laws - question on smoker temp
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... -
About to smoke my first salmon for the in-laws - question on smoker temp
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... -
About to smoke my first salmon for the in-laws - question on smoker temp
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... -
Adding a 3/8in gasket on a Master Forge smoker - questions
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...- weevil

Master Forge verticle with mods
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...- weevil

Adding a 3/8in gasket on a Master Forge smoker - questions
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...- weevil

Questions on caring for and temp control of my Master Forge gas smoker
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.- weevil

Questions on caring for and temp control of my Master Forge gas smoker
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...- weevil

Questions on caring for and temp control of my Master Forge gas smoker
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...- weevil

Hello from Snoqualmie, WA - new guy already with questions!
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"... -

DOH! Just placed an order over the weekend...if I had known this was coming out, I might have waited a couple days before ordering my AMNTS. :) So, what's in the pork shots?- weevil

Where to get sand for smoker (besides a beach!)?
Thanks guys - especially about the tip of tinfoil as I hadn't thought of that to preserve it. My biggest concern...ok, my *wife's* biggest concern, was me buying sand that wasn't "food safe" to be used in the smoker. :)- weevil

Where to get sand for smoker (besides a beach!)?
I'd like to try using sand instead of water/liquid in my Master Forge smoker based on recommendations I've received. Any recommendations on where I can buy/get sand from that would be safe to use in the smoker? Thanks!- weevil

Smoking a 10lb pork shoulder - how much can I reduce time if I cut it in half?
Hi all, My first post in the Pork forum. The short question is while I know it would take 15+ hours to cook this to pulling temp, if I were to cut it in half and cook the 2 5lb roasts should I expect I can cut my smoking/cooking time in half or close to it? I know this is a bit of a silly...
