Masterbuilt 40" Smoker

Former Member

I had had good success /this electric smoker. This weekend I will be doing a full brisket for the Super Bowl, and for 10-12 hours I will run out of "chips" often since the chip box is so small. Does anyone think I can put something like a Camerson Smoker in the smoker w/ more chips and get any smoke??? As we know I will smoke the brisket at 225 which may be too low to get the extra smoker working. I welcome your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks in advance

Not sure, but is that Cameron one of those stove top smokers for ovens?

First question, with the chips, hows the smoke taste? Is it not enough? Taste should be the determination of how much wood to use. Maybe try small chunks (key will be if they smolder/smoke so don't make them too big)

If you add something to make more smoke, you'll be taking up space for cooking. And those boxes need a heat souce, so are you thinking of putting it right on the element? How will that impact the existing chip box (sorry, haven't used/see a Masterbuilt in years so I'm not sure.

I believe you can just add more chips without any hub bub, but i don't think you need to go more than one or two loads of chips in your smoker.

As Smokin said taste should be what determines how much smoke you need. You don't want smoke billowing out of your smoker for 10-12 hours
