I too use the temp. as a guide. When it hits 190 -195 I use an icepick to see how tender it is. If the pick just glides in with no resistance in several spots i call it done and take it out.

I have a boston butt in my smoker right now. I have my own internal temp. preference for it being done which i won't reveal now but i will later. What i want to know is at what internal temp. do YOU pull your smoked boston butt? I see guys saying the take it out from anywhere from 180 - 225...

I like both, Bob. If I can figure out a way to slow the wood burning, the propane smoker iwill prove to be much, much simpler to use than the WSM. For example, temperature control is a matter of setting the propane burner at the desired level. Temps. are constant even on the longer smokes...

Tommy, I'm using a masterbuilt dual fuel smoker and my guess is since the wood in the pan sits virtually on top of an open flame it burns faster than if it were sitting on top of, or beneath charcoal briquettes like on a WSM. Mine sits in a cast iron skillet and still burns fast. I'll be...

It has what they call a "custom" setting, which means you can set it to count up to any temperature (up to 450F.) with or without the alarm going off.

Hi, I've been using a propane smoker lately. I'm still learning it, but all in all I like it a lot. But it sure does go through wood fast. Smoking a chicken with propane takes 3-4 times more wood than my Weber Smokey Mountain did and paying $6-$10 for those little bags of wood chunks at the...

Correction and additions; This is an Acurite model # 00277. It was $19.25 with free shipping on eBay. Amazon has it for $17.27 but shipping is $6.72. No thanks on this one, Amazon. I forgot to mention it has both Celsius and Farenheight settings and registers temps. from 14F - 450F and 10C -...

The thermometer came in today and since there are no reviews on it here I thought I might as well provide one. I got it on ebay. $17 and change, free shipping. I used it tonight and it did fine. It's nothing too fancy which is okay with me. I wanted something to register the internal temp. of...

The one I asked about is on the way to me. That's why I'm curious. :)

Hi, Info here is nonexistent on this thermometer. Or at least I couldn't find it. Have any of you folks used the Acurate thermometer model # 00277? If you have, what did you think of it? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00EOLZ6R8/tvwb-20 Thanks

I figured out how to get a low temp. on the*this Masterbuilt Pro Dual Fuel. Instead of using the lowest setting, I ran the knob past the high setting almost all the way off and got a 210 deg. reading and it was steady for over an hour. But here's the new problem. The wood chunks won't smoke at...

Hey, I'm crossing the divide tomorrow and picking up a new smoker, yes, a PROPANE smoker. :rolleyes: Always been curious about them. It's this model; http://www.homedepot.com/p/Masterbuilt-Pro-Dual-Fuel-Smoker-20050412/202904343?MERCH=RV-_-rv_search_plp_rr-_-NA-_-202904343-_-N I already read...

Hi Brian, I just watched this video in which the guy smokes a 20lb turkey in a Masterbuilt Pro Dual Fuel smoker, the one sold at Home Depot. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeO93Clsxmg And there are a ton of pictures of it here...

I know, I know, I'm going to Hades to be slow smoked for eternity but l've been looking at propane smokers online today and have narrowed it down to two which are very similar. The only differences I can see is the one from Home Depot says it is "dual fuel," good for propane and charcoal. It's...

Well, I bought it last night for $50 and planned to do a brisket tomorrow. But I sold it this afternoon for $150. My neighbor had it posted on the bulletin board of our neighborhood grocery store for $75. The buyer called the neighbor and the gave the guy my number. He came over, looked, wanted...
