This process takes around three hours, and in the last 45 minutes you add wood chips. In the last 45 minutes, you add wood chips with the patented side loading system. They&#8217;ve really thought of everything to make this process doable for anything. This allows you to add chips without opening the smoker door and enhance the flavor of your recipes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-113450\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/0607ddae7e7b12c382d7a501dd96b75c.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"501\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the smoker is primed and ready, it&#8217;s time to start cooking!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-113451\" src=\"https:\/\/homeimprovementblogs.com\/hg-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/bd36e5259524ead19c2f13942656e3a5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"501\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By downloading the Masterbuilt app, you won\u2019t have to worry about a thing!
