Haha, Thanks Thomasubi! Don't forget that bell icon so we don't get lost in the YT shuffle haha. Don't you think Miller Brewing should be sponsoring us? :-)

[@mcconn746]

As a retired Quality Engineer, I prefer checking measuring instruments near the temperature they are intended to measure. Some measuring instruments are not linear. It does not really matter if the probe is off near 32° but you want it pretty close in the 165° - 200° range. I wish you well.

[@scottnra]

mcconn746 I get it. At these temps and for cooking one or two degrees isn't going to be a disaster of course. The only two things most home cooks have to test temps with a known value is ice or boiling water. Kinda hard to get boiling water to stay at 212 long enough to run it outside to the smoker to check the probe haha. Thank you for watching!

[@mcconn746]

@@scottnra I understand the difficulty in this case. I would probably take the smoker near the stove and still test it in near boiling water. Also, water boils below 212° unless you are at sea level...theoretically 208° at my elevation but you are right a few degrees do not matter. I had a similar food probe that worked well for over a year. All of a sudden it read 170° in boiling water. I now check mine at least annually. Good video. Thanks.

[@stevieg4201]

@@scottnra I can't agree enough. Our 200-year old wooden barn/garage was saved by a nearby fire extinguisher when an engine fire occurred from a battery wire insulation failure in an old Volvo station wagon. Now I keep them in the garage, kitchen, main living area and in each car.

[@darrinsanders8666]

You are 100% correct about their customer service. I had one for about 6 years and the heating element went out in it. I called them up to order another one and they sent one free of charge but it wouldn't fit because they had changed them. So I called them back and they told me that they didn't stock parts for that model any more so I said thanks anyway and hung up thinking it was time to buy a new smoker. The next day, I repeat, the next day, FedEx pulls up and I'm thinking, I don't remember ordering anything. Low & behold, the driver unloads a BRAND NEW smoker. Again, they overnighted it FREE OF CHARGE. I'm sold on Masterbuilt. If I need it and they make it that's what I buy.

[@scottnra]

darrin sanders That is incredible service for sure! Thank you for sharing that. I've had very good luck with mine. Now if only they would take that same cabinet, and add a pellet hopper to it!

[@macounwr]

I just did my first cook on new Masterbuilt 30" digital smoker. Loved the result, but experience was less than excellent. I set up to smoke two ~4 pound pork butts, expecting to smoke at 225 degrees for about 8 hours. I started watching internal temperature at about 5 hours (135 degrees) but at 8 hours it was only up to 165, and not going higher. I was expecting to get to 195 to be done. I pulled the butts out of the smoker, wrapped them in foil, and finished the cook in the oven at 325, took another 1.5 hours to get to 195. Like I say, finished product was great, easy to pull into the right size pieces, tasted good with a nice bark, but I'd like to be able to finish the cook in the smoker. I should add, outside temp was about 40 degrees. I'm guessing I should have set temp higher, to compensate for low outside temp. Is there a formula, like 280 - outside temp for recommended smoking temp? I see there is a blanket available, is that the answer? Use below __? (50?)

[@scottnra]

Actually what you experienced is normal. It's called "The Stall" where meat stalls at around 165 due to evaporation of it's moisture. Once you get to a certain moisture level the meat again begins to raise in temperature. Most people will wrap with foil at 165 and put back on the smoker for this reason. Another thing you can do is what you did; POWER through the stall with temperature! When you put it in the oven set at 325 that's what you did. If you had wrapped and out it in the MES at 275* you would have had similar results thought probably a little longer. Obviously you don't need to add any chips once it's wrapped. Do yourself a favor and order this book. This is the best all-around BBQ book IMO. You'll learn all the basics and even how to make your own rubs and sauces! amzn.to/2gZkzMw Thank you for watching!

[@WookieLove1]

Great tips! I always soak my chips....gonna try going dry next time. Thanks Scott!

[@scottnra]

Thanks man and thank you for watching! Even with a charcoal or stick burner, to make ships smoke and not burn up make a foil pack and poke one small hole in it. Starving them for air makes smoke and slows the burn.

[@toordog]

You should soak your chips, but what everyone neglects to do is you should let them season (dry out on a towel) for about 20/30 minutes after soaking them. If you do this properly you will get more blue smoke and less of the harsh smoke that makes your food bitter, not to mention dry chips will almost immediately gasify and add bitterness to the food, and could possibly explode (I've demonstrated this a few times -- it does happen).

[@thebackyardgriller9076]

WookieLove1 the dry chips do work, I used to soak the also. I use a gas smoker and wood chunks( dry) and you cannot tell that the food was smoked on gas.

Just got one of these for Christmas and I’m having a lot of fun with it. How long would you smoke various pieces of chicken (bone vs. boneless)? Also, how often would you refill the smoker chips if you aren’t soaking them?

[@scottnra]

Robert Busek Good Questions. I think chicken is easy to over-smoke si Would not add chips very often at all. Maybe just once or twice. This things really holds it in and birds are not forgiving with smoke haha. I advise to always cook to temp more than time. For chicken and turkeys 160 at the breast/180 at the thigh. Use your probe for one or the other and you should be good as dark meat cooks faster. Thank you for watching!

My buddy and I have this same smoker and it smoked good the first handful of times, now it only smokes the first time it gets up to temperature and hardly smokes at all after that.. My buddies does the same thing. We have both checked the burners and wood chip pan for any buildup and there is none. I would highly recommend using a smoker that has an external smoke box so you can smoke at any temperature and even do a cold smoke.. Mine doesn't even smoke anymore unless its over 200 degrees

my friend! when you were wiping down the glass, i thought i saw meat sticks in your smoker. i have been wanting to try making these, but the cook cycles i have seen start crazy low, like 110 degrees. i can't get this low heat with my charcoal smoker. does the masterbuilt work well for this? this is actually why i clicked on your video!

[@scottnra]

YES! I frequently run mine at 100* to get a low smoke cook started. Just remember you need to be using cured meat with nitrates for health reasons when doing so. It does not make smoke well at low temps especially during the summer. you'll need a Wedgie or some other smoke source for that. (There is a review on here for that as well as shown in the cheese smoking video) My bologna cooks start at 100* and go up to about 180* cooker temp over about 16 - 18 hours!
