Ratings & Reviews for Masterbuilt John McLemore Signature Series 365-Sq. in Black Vertical Charcoal Smoker

Worthless smoker

I know why you are here, it’s why all of us are here. We didn’t want to spend the money on the pricier bullet smokers out there but buying this is the same as throwing $100 out the window as you drive to the store. It’s impossible to get this thing hot enough. There are no bottom vents to allow air ventilation and the one door is so basic, you can’t prop it open to get some air flow. I have mine tied with string right now as I smoke the my meal in this worthless piece of tin. You can see I drill...

Where us my product?

I wish that I had the product in order to give it a fair review.

Bad smoker

Doesn’t keep the temperature up and when using I had to relight it 3 times

Okay for starters, buy your own temperature gauge

It's a nice, small stater smoker/grill. But has flaws such as the temperature gauge included. It constantly read much lower than the actual temperature of the grill. We bought a digital thermometer to monitor the ambient temp before using the grill to cook a pork shoulder. The grill had to be fed wood chips constantly to keep the smoke flowing. Much more than what was needed when compared to standard Weber charcoal bbq grill. The shoulder didn't have much smoke flavor at all anyway.

Couldn't leave it the store as this price!

I had been wanting an inexpensive charcoal smoker to play around with, at my local Lowes tonight and found the only one left brand new in the box for $22.47 ( was $89.99)!! I couldn't leave it on the self at that price! I've not cooked on it yet, read some reviews going to replace the temp gauge maybe use it his Holiday!

Simple but effective

For the price and what this little smoker is and can do its dynamite ! I've made smoked chicken wings , sausages , pork ribs , Turkey and even brisket ! This in my opinion is a great starter smoker for someone looking to experiment and learn or someone who has a small space to work with.

Don't expect much and won't be disappointed!

Easy to put together but doesn't provide a good way to regulate the heat as couldn't keep it hot enough.

Great value

Everything was grilled to perfection. Fit perfectly on our small patio.

Good luck getting it to go higher than 200 degrees

This not worth the low price. Poorly designed. Read the reviews elsewhere on the Internet.

No nickname

Not too expensive. For what i need Temperature guage not real accurate. Descent smoker

This is a great grill.

I love this smoker/grill. Out of the 3 that I have owned, I love this one the best. The side access door is the best one I've had. Great product.

Great price for great quality

Works amazing!!

Okay

Nice for the price, however, requested it to be assembled and it wasn’t and to make matters worse, missing screws
