Would Recommend[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
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had the smoker for a year and have smoked chicken, turkey, beef jerky, pork brats and deer jerky. Everything that I have smoked turned out excellent! I would recommend and buy it again.

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...

Passed along to son in law
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the second vertsmoker I bought. I cooked many racks of ribs and briskets with it. I only passed it along as I bought a 1050. He uses it all the time and reaps the rewards from it as I did.

Easy peasy
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my electric smoker several years and it does a great job. Just set it and forget it add a smoke tube or add chips every hour or so. Doesn;'t get any easier. Puts out great food

Graat Smoker
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This smoker holds a lot of food. It's so easy to operate, basically set it and forget it operation. I've done pork shoulder and ribs at the same time. Came out great.

Took the worry out of smoking
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this smoker for about a year. The digital settings, the window, and the recipes have taken the worry out of smoking. Ribs, chicken; jerky. Everything. It's easy to use and to maintain.

Great little smoker
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] have been using this smoker for a couple of years now. It always produces excellent results no matter what you’re cooking. Would definitely recommend.

Disappointed
Would Not RecommendI bought one of these, put it together and it stopped heating after about an hour, took it back and got a replacement and it does the same thing. Very disappointed

A joy to use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this work horse since it first came out, around 8 or 9 years now. The only thing I have had todo to it, is to just now change the heating element. Which, by the way was easy to do. We added the Masterbilt side smoker so that we could cold smoke cheese about 5 years ago and never looked back.

No need for a pellet smoker
Would RecommendThis smoker turns out a great product every time. I smoke everything is aluminum pans so no clean up. I've owned this smoker 4 years now and see no need to waste money on a pellet smoker that catch fire and have pellet jambs all the time. I use a smoke tube inside the smoker with the power off to cold smoke cheese as well.

For the long haul
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my master built vertical smoker about 7 years ago. I cook on it roughly 2-4 times a month. And to be honest I forget to put the cover back on it half the time when not in use. This thing has provided extraordinary meals for my family time after time. If you’re thinking about getting one, do it. You will not be disappointed. And after 7 years mine is still going strong.

Who says electric isn't a good smoker?
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was told by all my friends that I would not be able to get a good and traditional smoked product with an electric smoker, and how wrong they were. Not only is it great for controlling the temperature, I can get plenty of smoke flavor, and I have smoke everything you can imagine, beef, pork, chicken, fish turkey, cheese, etc.

Great Vertical Smoker
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a budding Pitmaster, I find this smoker adds more versatility to my horizontal smoker by allowing me to produce a full 6-mo of sausages and bacon with the use of hangers. It’s also very easy to set up for a cold smoke when preparing and smoking the bacon slabs. I’m able to produce 8-12 racks of dry-rub ribs at one time. These are capabilities not available with my horizontal smoker. It’s easy to clean and I recommend that you clean it after ...
