Ratings & Reviews for Masterbuilt Digital 40-inch 970-Sq. in Black Electric Smoker

Set It and Forget It—Perfect BBQ Every Time

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned my Masterbuilt electric smoker for a while now, and it has completely changed the way I cook. I’ve used it for everything from ribs and brisket to hams and whole turkeys, and it consistently delivers excellent results with minimal effort. What I love most is how easy it is to use. The electric setup takes the guesswork out of temperature control—just set it and let it do its thing. Unlike traditional smokers, I don’t have to const...

Good eating

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Over the past 14 years, I have had two Masterbuilt smokers (1 30-inch digital with a window and 1 without). I am not a master, but these smokers have produced some awesome food. Thank.

quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had problems with the slow smoke unit as an accessory but never with the slide in chip tray, I have had this style of smoker for 10 years now, very reliable, easy to use and would not hesitate to purchase again

Excellent Smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this smoker 2 months ago. It works great. It is insulated so I can keep the heat just right. I have smoked ribs and brisket that were tender and delicious.

Upgraded from 30" to 40" because I use it so much

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I essentially used up every bit of life in the 30" smoker. It was tight for full slabs of ribs forcing me to cut them in half. Now the 40" smoker takes 8 full slabs of ribs snd I can smoke a 20lb turkey and larger sized brisket. I am more than happy with the performance of your product. Now I have my eye on your lump charcoal smoker / grill combos. Looks intriguing 😁

Excellent smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 2nd Masterbuilt smoker and I couldn't be happier. The ease of operation makes Masterbuilt product great for a beginner or a seasoned professional.

I got this 2 years ago for a Christmas present. I use it all the time

Leaving the Traeger Smoker/Grill behind

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a masterbuilt years ago and it died of natural causes. I then tried Traeger, since you could fill the pellets and it would smoke for hours. Lid did not seal (loss of smoke) and thin wall construction (loss of heat) made for a poor / sad smoker.. (expensive too) I'm now back in the Masterbuilt family and also got the add-on smoker where you can stack chips for extended unattended smoking. LOVING IT...

Cheaply built.

I bought this smoker to replace my ten year old masterbuilt smoker. The word disappointed is best described how i feel. The over all build quality is garbage! The metal is extremely thin, it sounds hallow when you tap it as to where my old smoker sounds solid. I understand they are trying to keep the price down but man was a disappointment! the sad part it i was excited to get a new smoker. Not now!

Great Smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these smokers this is my second one I had the first one for about 9 years

Works great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually just have the 40 inch smoker with no window and I love it! I've made some really tasty food in this thing! I started with the 30 inch and wanted to get bigger one to have more room for more ribs since my family love them so much! I have smoked 8 pork butts at once too for my sons graduation! I love these smokers! Pretty simple... they work great!

Coul be better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced a previous 30" Masterbuilt but this does not have the temperature range of my previous one.

This one makes about #8 over the years

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my new 40MES today. I have run these smokers for about 25 years. When one begins to show signs of being done I order a backup. The one I received today was dented slightly on the bottom, cosmetic only. Everything else was nearly perfect. Some bolts took a little work to get started but it is all together and ready for seasoning. I have cooked for as many as 140 people at a time. It takes multiple cooks but they are all consistent. I ...

Great smoker easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this smoker but we never could get the WiFi app to work to control it. Also the screen is very difficult to see. The smoking job it does is great. A bit disappointed the bells and whistles don’t whistle

This is the way to start

Being new to smoking, this is the perfect smoker to use. It heats up quickly and get as high as 275F. You can set it and forget it or you can be interactive, spraying your meat or what ever you need. I am still playing with flavors, wood and rubs. I’m using this every chance I get

It’s great to have this smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are not new to smoking foods, but we are new to a smoker with temperature control, it makes smoking Nfoods simpler and it is awesome. Before we would smoke the meat then finish it in the oven or on the bbq. More time outside is always a bonus.

Great Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple months ago and I am so happy I made this purchase. It arrived in just a couple days and was an easy put together. I smoked two Boston butts right away. They came out perfect. The wood chips I put in the tray smoked perfectly. I then did three bologna logs. You wanna talk about great. Each time I cook on this smoker I am even more pleased. It’s a must have to your man cave or garage!

Smoking 1-2-3

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are enjoying our smoker and trying new recipes for it. We had the 30 and upgraded to the 40, very happy with the results.

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wifi smoker operated by phone. Couldn't be easier.
