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

Dont waste your money if you want to cure w/ this

I purchased this smoker on 11/24/25 at the Cabelas in Verdi (Reno) Nevada. It might work for ribs and chicken, but it's a boat anchor if you are trying to cure meats. The digital controller is 30-60 degrees off. To cure at 165 degrees, you have to use your own temperature probe. I have it set at 130, and it is at 172 degrees. To cure, you will need at least one probe until you can get an accurate reading. If you open the door, the temperature will spike, and you will not know the top-out until i...

Used to love masterbuilt

Bought two of these and after a couple months neither will work. One of them will not come on at all and the other one will come on but will jot heat up.

Great entry into the smoking arts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, I’ve been using my master built smoker for a couple of years now. After the first year I added the cold smoke generator to it and have smoked everything from pork shoulder to beef to bacon, and I even made chipotle peppers. The temperature control was not quite what I had hoped, but as long as I monitor it with a good thermometer, it cooks quite well.

Great smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids bought this for me and love the Bluetooth and the app to keep an eye on the temps.

Ok will do the job.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received it for Father's day several years to start to smoke would get the job done. Have to trim done the brisket to get it to fit. After several years display started to deteriorate. And electrical started to fall ordered a new controller but still having issues

My second Masterbuilt electric chip smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased a 30" Masterbuilt electric chip smoker a couple of years ago and have used it more times than I can count. It has been very consistent with every cook and times and temperature are reliable. I hope to have it for years to come.

Electric smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great learning tool that I was introduced to smoking . I’ve done briskets, pork buts, chicken and duck and I’ve been satisfied with all of them

Works good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My brother inlaw has this smoke and I was iffy about it at first we did a couple racks of ribs and turned out pretty good definitely has me thinking about getting one

Great smoker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great smoker and is very easy to use. I bought an additional wifi internal thermometer which makes using the smoker even easier to use. My only negative is the digital controller is too dim and hard to read in daylight.

Two electric smokers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own two electric Master built smokers. I keep one in my garage for year round use here in South Dakota. Love them!

Great smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have one of these at my shop and use it to smoke brushes or pork butts overnight for my 15 man crew. Product comes out perfect everytime

Great Smoker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to use... I have smoked ribs, pork butts and brisket - and all came out moist and flavorful with just the right amount of bark... almost like set it and forget it!

Easy and fun to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never thought I would be able to smoke anything, but with my Masterbuilt smoker I have smoked wild game, fish, beef, pork, and vegetables and everything was fantastic. Any time we go shopping, I am looking for something new to smoke. Easy and fun to use.

Great Product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this a few years ago for my birthday. It's still smoking. I trust Masterbuilt....

Great Complement!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a Masterbuilt digital vertical charcoal griller/smoker, but sometimes I do not want the charcoal flavor or I need really low heat, beyond the range of my grill. I use both my vertical charcoal griller and my digital electric smoker like an over and they have been a game changer during the holidays to free up the oven in the house. I use this electric smoker to smoke my sausages, cold smoke cheese, make various types of bacon and even bee...

Smoking till i can’t smoke no more

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had the smoker for a little over a year. This is my second master built smoker and my first did not have the Wi-Fi option. I simply love the smoker. I live in a high-rise and it’s the perfect size and I find myself smoking things at least once a week I have smoked everything from duck wings to fresh cut salmon to cream cheese to pecans and it always comes through. I smoked a brisket ribs tomatoes, you name it it’s been in there. I’ve gone ...

Still Going Strong

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been smoking on this electric smoker for around 10 years now. Still smoking on it. Had a few repairs I’ve done in the 10 years or so since I bought it, but support from Masterbuilt was spot on. I have smoked everything from brisket, chicken, turkey, all sorts of pork, etc…all with amazing results. I use the cold smoking attachment every smoke session to reduce greatly, the adding of chips. This one addition is the best addition I could recommen...
