Amazing quality

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using a master built smoker for about 4 years that was passed down from my grandfather after he passed. I have finally decided to upgrade and am very happy I did. Amazing quality. Easy to control and we love the window and wood chamber to easily add more chips. 10/10

Great for all proteins!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in 2020, and use it at least a couple times a month. Set it and forget it is the main thing here. Control the heat and time, buy some wood chips and youre set

Fantastic smoker!!!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Without a doubt the best smoker I haver ever owned. Just add a few chips, plug in, and go. You can actually check the progress through the window and temp settings are very accurate.

Great mid-size smoker

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this smoker for 5 years now. Works great. Great smoker for wings, ribs, turkeys and smoking beef or venison.

Great smoker

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the second Masterbuilt I have owned. Always does a great job no matter what I am cooking. Large enough to smoke just about anything, but small enough to be an at home appliance.

I LOVE MY 40 INCH VERTICAL SMOKER

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my 40 inch vertical 5 years ago and it has faithfully served me well. I would recommend it over and over again. I bought the optional gravity feed dispenser so I can have long cooks without having to check my chip supply every couple of hours.

Great Smoker - long lasting

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have really enjoyed my smoker! After several years (about 10), it’s time to venture to a new smoker. Until its last smoke, it worked like a charm. The smoke filled the air, and my neighbors were waving and smiling because they knew when the ‘smoke’ was completed, they too would enjoy the bounty.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m an owner of one of the original vertical smokers, and it still has a prominent space on my cooking patio.

I've had three of these --

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had one of the earliest models, then two of the newer versions. I treated them horribly, leaving them outdoors -- basically abusing them and not taking care of them and using them constantly. My last one is still out in back yard. I only stopped using it when I got my gravity series. They hold up, they make great 'cue, and most importantly -- you don't have to mess with it once you get it going. If you want to go back in and baste or...

Great smoker

Electric smoker

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little smoker is easy to use and cooks everything evenly, but I have already had to replace the controller on it after less than a year of use.

Great beginer smoker

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are just starting out or tight on space this is your smoker. Great smoker flavor but not as good as the masterbuilt gravity series. You can set the tem0 and forget. all you have to do is add chips occasionally and with the built in meat probe no need to open till it's done. also I like to use it as a food warmer when I'm cooking for large crowds. just set to 175 and place your platter in till they are ready to be served. Nothing like giv...
