WTF...I've had this same smoker for 2 years now & never knew this, I could never ever get that damn temp down. I don't believe Masterbuilt says this anywhere on the manual. Thanks for the awesome tip. I'll have to try that next time I'm ready to smoke!

You. Are. The. Man. 3 years I have been trying to solve the temp issue. Have the Moke Hollow Pro big smoker. With 2 trays. I smoke a lot of Polish style sausages and need to be at 120 to 140 in temp for hours. This smoker is great. But even with just one burner I'm allways up to 190 to 200 at lowest setting. So had to smoke winter time and keep doors ajar. So loosing flavor from that smoke. I tried this on both burners and it works like a charm. Can't belive I did not find your solutions sooner. Have been looking everywhere and did not want to mess woth the jet replacement. Right now my bacon is causing at a nice set 170F and I can save miles of walking back and forth. You have the only simple and instant solution to the temp problem on all manual smokers. And they are the best after all. Thank you

The first time I used my 12 inch tube, I was doing a 9lb pork butt with it. I wanted to super smoke it. When the tube was done burning, I decided to refill it. When I lifted it up, the ashes shot out and dropped all over inside my Pit Boss! So now I put a piece of aluminum foil under it that is large enough to wrap the tube before I remove it. That way no ashes drop on your food or in your cooker! On long cooks I may fill the tube again and this really keeps the ash under wraps when I pull the burnt tube out... Good Smokin Y'all!

From everything I have gathered. The meat stops absorbing smoke flavor after the first couple hours.

You had to light it two more times, I'm using a kitchen torch, but the real key is to microwave the pellets for 1 1/2 minutes. It gets them dry, and they stay lit.

@Papadoc10004 жыл бұрын
It's not ideal, but it's not a real problem either if done right. I won't put the smoker uncovered and right under the meat, as it tends to put a residue on the meat. He is fine for the moment as that fire end is on the far left side. But a couple hours into this and it's going to be right under the meat. That said, always use quality pellets rather than cheaper off-brand pellets that can have just about anything in them including floor sweeping. There is no FDA requirement for pellets, so reputation of the company and how much their brand is worth is vital in my opinion. I saw some pellets over at Walmart for $2.50 for a 20# bag. Almost guaranteed to be pelletized trash.

I have been having issues with getting it to smoke enough and it catching fire.. am I doing something wrong?? I light it and met it burn for 10 minutes. My question is should I put in in the grill still on fire? I am normally putting into a 250-275 heater grill. Should I put in before I turn grill on? I use the pellets and only get maybe 2 hours of smoke but it constantly catches on fire
@funbiz994 жыл бұрын
You can put it in the grill hot or cold. If the flame re-ignites wind / air must be blowing on it. If it goes out usually grease is dripping on it or tilt the tube at a slight angle. 6" tube should burn 2 hours 12" tube should burn 4 hours Do not put it in while its on fire
@Papadoc10004 жыл бұрын
Reduce the air flow. This isn't always easy, but I have found that very loosely wrapping it in foil helps to prevent the fire, and it also helps to disburse the smoke rather than having a straight line up to the food. I want my food smoked, not full of soot or a tar like substance, which can happen to anything that has a straight line of smoke. Candles and hurricane lamps can have the same issue.

Ok need to step in here, seeing this guy use a heat gun was painful, not so easy, for sure not so efficient, looked pretty stupid, he may as well been rubbing two pellets together like sticks. No offence but that was moronic. Without any need to caveman the shit with a heat gun, easy was is use the liquid gel that amaz-n-smoke has and a lighter, squirt a little gel on top of the pellets, click a lighter and poof its light, like 30 seconds and no flying light pellets, no pellets flying at all, nice and clean. It’s pretty foolish to light a smoker tube with a heat gun, your asking fro trouble, not sure why this guy sees this as easy, fire works much better, period. You can use a propane torch much quicker than heat gun and again no flying pellets, you can get a cooking torch for about 10 dollars or so, nice and small and lights in seconds without gel, with gel even faster. Sorry buddy but people need to know this stupidity they see, some might actually have followed this and I hope they read before the actually do it, not very smart.
