30 inch electric smoker

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my smoker for a couple of years now and still love using it. The main thing I smoke is Brisket, but I've used it for many other meats as well. My wife loves a nice med rare sirloin steak, smoked. I've never had anyone not love this steak.

First smoker best smoker

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is where I cut my teeth years ago and really fell in love with smoking bbq. This is a reliable smoker that will not disappoint. Eventually you may want more automation but this will get you going, and will impress your friends and family that you’re a pitmaster (way more than you deserve because the masterbuilt will do the heavy lifting)

Christmas gift from my wife

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife got me this smoker for Christmas in 2024, and i've put it through the RINGER since then. I was smoking meats in the dead of winter in negative windchill, no problem. I used it overnight many times. No problem. I used it every day for over a week straight, no joke... no problem. BIGGEST gripe i have is that if you don't get the cold smoker attachment, then you have to refill the wood chips very frequently which kind of takes ...

So easy to use!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Can’t get much simpler than this. Make sure you get a pellet tube smoker to go with this to supplement the smoke otherwise it’s great!

Love this smoker!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s my second Masterbuilt. The first one did such a great job and lasted many years so when it was time to replace it, it had to be another Masterbuilt. I’m about to order another one for my son.

Great cooking!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have bought this smoker over 4 years ago and it's still going. We have smoke from everything like chicken wings to pork butter and briskets. This smoker has out done itself. The Bluetooth thermometer helps gage the stalls and cook times. Thank you the well built product.

You cannot go wrong with this even if you try!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a total novice smoker but a major foodie and desperately wanted to recreate all those mouthwatering smoky goodness dishes I see everywhere. I did a BOATLOAD of research and this Masterbuilt 30" Digital Smoker came up as the winner over and over. I can see why! Even in my total brandy-new, no idea what I am doing yet experience, I have been turning out food that is bringing people to their knees. Smoked chicken thighs? Perfect! Smoked sa...

Easy Smoking with Great Results Every Time

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Masterbuilt 30-Inch Digital Electric Smoker has made smoking food incredibly simple and enjoyable. I love the digital controls—setting the time and temperature couldn’t be easier, and it takes all the guesswork out of smoking. The glass window is a great feature, letting me check on the food without opening the door and losing heat or smoke. The unit heats up quickly and maintains temperature well, which is exactly what you want for cons...

Not What They Once Were

Would Not Recommend

I replaced my old Masterbuilt with the "30 Inch." The old one has a meat probe. The old one was well insulated such that you could literally put plastic bowls on the top. I will not place anything on this one. In fact it is above 130F because I cannot hold my hand on it. The old one has wheels. The old 30 inch is bigger. Maybe I can use the parts on the new one to rebuild my old one. We will not be doing business in the future.

Large capacity

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this smoker for several years now and it never fails to create great food. With 4 shelves that will hold a large cooking sheet tray you are able to create multiple foods. I've loaded it up with multiple meats and side dishes at one time. Great for smoking a large turkey for holidays freeing up the oven. I added the slow smoker box attachment so not only do I not have to stay with it amd feed it chips but also allows me to cold smo...
