What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this propane smoker for exceptional temperature control, spacious design, and reliable performance. Most highlight the accurate ThermoTemp feature, consistent heat retention even in challenging weather, and ability to smoke multiple whole briskets or large quantities of jerky in one session. Reviewers frequently cite professional-level results with minimal attention required. Many appreciate the intuitive digital controls, straightforward assembly, and sturdy construction lasting over a decade. A few report flame retention issues or door leakage, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by widespread satisfaction and strong performance across diverse foods.

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this smoker for a year now and have used it summer and winter. When i 1st got it there was a problem with it staying lit. I called Masterbuilt and they said it probably was a safety feature and told me how to make the simple adjustment. It works great now and have smoked many different things on it and have never been disappointed.

Very good smoker.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this one for awhile. Smokes very well, easy to control, and does not consume a whole lot of space when in storage or on the patio. Easy to connect regulate to the propane, also. I have recommended it to others, and I have also allowed friends to borrow or use it. Solid purchase.

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first smokers I bought after my brinkman drum style passed on. Used it for years, bought a second one, one's in a cabinet that I had made the others on a rolling cart with a smoker box attached to the side. This bad boy can hold a lot of food.

Bang for the buck!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had this smoker for over ten years and recently gave it to a neighbor when I got the gravity 1050. It has so much room with the racks and smoking pork shoulder over a tray of drip beans was our favorite thing to do with it. You can't beat this smoker for the price!

Love my xl upright propane smoker.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my xl upright smoker. By far the best ribs I've ever made on this. The only thing i don't care for is the bottle plate. I've washed mine out a couple times and it seems to be rusting through. I think i can rivet some sheet metal in as a replacement, as mine is out of warrantee.

Ideal for camp or weekend activities
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to cook at our camp , with the propane it is so much easier to use, since we don't have electricity yet. We Love it. Charcoal is fine , but this gives a better clean up.

It is the easiest thing to operate it tells you what it's doing and having masterbuilt charcoal is just the icing on the cake

Smoker
Would RecommendMy husband absolutely this smoker. It is the right size for just the two of us, plus some family and friends. I really want to try a turkey in the smoker this year.
Great product
Would RecommendFast delivery
Nice smoker
Would RecommendI received this as a gift in 2018. It is a nice smoker, except for the fact that it is rusting out. The drip pan bracket is rusted out and the flame shroud is rusted completely out. There is also no way to keep mice out of it. Other than that, I like the smoker and it does work great.
