    Camp Chef 24" Smoke Vault vs Masterbuilt 40 inch ThermoTemp XL vs OTHERS?

    I am new to smoke products. I grew up on propane and as a new home owner, I only own a 36" Blackstone Griddle and want to get into cooking more food at home; using just a griddle isn't enough. I LOVE smoked flavored foods, so I have been really looking into vertical smokers. I still intend on...

    Fillets are what's for Breakfast!

    I landed my Q220 portable gas grill from my neighbor (happen to be making a delivery that took me past the house 5 mins after he put it on the curb) and this was the first meal cooked on it after it was cleaned (REALLY needed it). I decided to try putting some mesquite chips around it to see if...

    Oklahoma Onion Burgers

    Another meal inspired by Kent Rollins Oklahoma Onion Burger hit the grill. We grabbed some cheddar burger patties before we watched the video and had some onions on hand. I fired up the Q220 and finally got the chance to use the Teflon mats I bought last year. Add some corn and slaw for a...

    Firebox Intake?

    I have been reading threads for awhile now and was given an opportunity to DIY my very own legit smoker. I'm in the home stretch and trying to decide on my fire box intake. It seems that I have had very good test runs with just cracking the door but I have children and think it'll be a bit...

    I have a 1 1/2 year old MB 20050716 Masterbuilt Propane smoker with the glass door. It worked fine for about 4 smokes, but now, it will not stay lit. When I go to start it, i push in the selector and turn it counterclockwise to high like it saves. When I hit the igniter it roars to life, and...
