Best ever smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second smoker. It is very easy to use & keep clean. My wife & extended family all love everything I smoke in it. Use it for chicken, pork, and meat. Usually seal and put it all in the freezer for long term storage.

Great value for the money

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my smoker about 6 months ago and have used it at least twice a week since. Made pulled pork, lots of beef jerky, brisket and smoked chicken. I'm thrilled with the performance and the capacity. Keep in mind the instructions say to use wood chips not pellets. The one time I threw a few pellets in the food tasted like an ashtray cuz they produced too much smoke. As long as you use wood chips it works great. And I love being able t...

Great smoker

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced an older Masterbuilt model with this model. It has performed perfectly! Love being able to use "chunks" of wood that I harvest off my property. Highly recommend!

Great Entry Level Smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this smoker approximately 3 months ago and I have used it almost every weekend since receiving. The smoker has excellent temperature control and you can refill the wood chips without opening the smoker door. I have smoke meats and vegetables and all have turned out great. The Masterbuilt website has a vast selection of recipes you filter based on what you want to make, how you want to cook it, and your skill level.

Not impressed

Would Not Recommend

I just bought and assembled this smoker. I had a Master built electric smoker for 10 years until the electronic thermostat quit. This unit is built much cheaper and lighter. The LED is very difficult to read outside. It has a very small chip pan too. I am not impressed.

Total temp Control!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a sausage, pastrami, ham, etc. maker. Having the ability to smoke at very low consistent temperature is crucial to keep fat from rendering and gives you perfect predictable results every time. This smoker also lets you control and tailor your level of smokiness to give your food the perfect flavor and finish! I've had two and given two as gifts! I'm a big fan.
