Ratings & Reviews for Masterbuilt Digital Electric Smoker 710-Sq. in Black Electric Smoker

Wonderful product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this smoker at a charity auction so I had low expectations. Boy, was I surprised. From the moment I opened the box and began the assembly process I was sold. Assembly was straightforward with no surprises. I had used conventional smokers in the past but this was new to me. I followed the operational instructions to the letter and had no problem with my first attempt- trout filets. They were wonderful! I look forward to many more wonder...

Keeps on ticking

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had one for 10+ years and we wore it out. We loved it so much, that we bought another one. We smoke a lot of meat every month. This is a quality smoker, and you can't go wrong. It is well worth the money.

Best Smoker Ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this Smoker several years ago and absolutely love using it. Easy to load. Easy to add Wood Chips, without opening the door. Plenty of room for all of my food needs. I would recommend it highly and would purchase one again.

Great smoker produces great food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am on my 2nd one in 10 years. 1st one sat on the ground. New one has legs which is great for knees and back. Keeps temp very consistent. Four racks for multiple level cooking. Have smoked turkey, wings, ribs, many butt's, prime rib, and ham. No dissapointments.

The 30inch Electric Smoker is wonderful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have grilled for many years, but using the Masterbuilt 30Inch smoker has added a new detention to cooking outdoors. It is one thing to quickly BBQ meats and vegetables but, to add rub and smoke meats has been a wonderful challenge to my outdoor cooking that is tasty and fun.

Ease of use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super easy to use, would recommend to anyone for home personal use, best ribs and burnt ends ever.

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased mine two years ago. It’s easy to use and works great. I wish now I had to 40 inch instead of the 30 inch so it would make it easier to smoke large racks of ribs.

Awesome product!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have my vertical electric smoker for several years and only problem I've ever had was, when it's cold out it throws a code alot and stops working.

Easygoing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the smoker, maintains proper heat. Added smoker attachment for longer smoke times.only issue the controller needed to be replaced

Electric smoker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Masterbuilt electric smoker is a great added appliance for the outside cooking. Plenty of space inside, easy settings and holds temperatures set.

Great Smoker for smaller spaces

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this almost a year ago and I have smoked almost everything from Wagyu beef brisket to Thanksgiving Turkey, I was never dissapointed in the end results of the smoke process with this smoker. Its easy to set up and easy to clean.

Great smoker for a family

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wonderful control for a first-time user. Can easily fit multiple smoking items in the 30'' Digital electric smoker and set temp and time and return for nicely smoked meats. I've fixed chicken, pork butt and ready to move to brisket next.

Frustrated

Less than a month of purchase the unit showed an ERROR message and quit responding. Unplugged for 5 minutes, then 30 minutes. The display doesn’t light up nor does the unit show signs of life.

good jerky, but temp consistency isn’t great

so far it smokes venison fine but i have noticed it struggles to keep a consistent temp. it turns the heating element off as soon as it hits the target temp, but since the element still is hot it will go 5-10 over the target temp. then once it goes below target temp it takes a bit to heat the element causing it to go 5-10 degrees under temp. but the jerky ive made with it still tastes pretty good, just keep in mind that if you want a consistent temp through the entire cook process, this smoker w...

Do not recommend

I’ve had this product for less than a year, and I’ve had nothing but trouble with it. From the moment I got it, the door has not sealed well. Since then, I have also noticed that the paint used on it does not handle the heat, bubbling and flaking off around the door seal. Now the thermometer always reads over 285 even after turning the smoker on while cold. I have followed all troubleshooting recommendations to reset or clear that temperature and nothing will get the temperature to read less. Th...

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...

Just OK.

Smokes well but not built for the long run. Defect allows smoke and steam to vent into the digital controller from the cabinet eventually killing it. Not great wheel design either.

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.

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
