How do I pre-season my electric smoker before using it for the first time?
First, make sure the water pan is in place without water. Set smoker temperature to 275°F and allow the unit to run for three hours. During the last 45 minutes, add ½ cup of wood chips in the wood chip loader to complete the pre-seasoning process. Power off the smoker and allow it to cool completely. (Note: Never add more than ½ cup of wood chips at a time. Additional chips should not be added until any previously added wood chips have stopped generating smoke.)
Can I use natural gas instead of LP for my gas smoker?
No. Masterbuilt propane smokers are designed to use with LP (propane) gas and not natural gas.
Should my wood chips be used wet or dry?
You may use dry or pre-soaked wood chips in your smoker. Dry chips will burn faster and produce more intense smoke. Chips pre-soaked in water (for approximately 30 minutes) will burn slower and produce a less intense
