🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The Masterbuilt Smoker has generally favorable reviews but with a few performance and design issues. Customers generally like the electric functionality and the ease of assembly and use. However, some users were encountering difficulty with temperature control, with the smoker fluctuating outside the set ranges, and required modifications to work optimally. The size of the wood chip tray was also raised as an issue for some users.

Pros

  • 👍 Easy to assemble
  • 👌 Can accommodate a decent sized brisket (up to 10.5 lbs)
  • 🙌 Temperature is easy to control
  • 😊 Quick to heat up
  • 🥳 Provides a decent smoke session

Cons

  • 👎 Some customers experienced sub-optimal temperature control
  • 😩 Wood chip tray needs frequent refills
  • 💔 Some customers were disappointed with the smoke production
  • 🚫 Some units arrived without assembly/usage instructions
  • 🔦 The digital display is dim and at an inconvenient angle

Should I Buy It?

If you're on the lookout for an easy-to-assemble and convenient electric smoker that's suitable for personal use, the Masterbuilt Smoker is a viable option. Just keep in mind that some users reported needing to tweak the device for optimal functionality, and you might need constant refilling due to the smaller size of the wood chip tray.

Wanted to start smoking my own meat. Friend told me to buy this one it's what he uses. This was very easy to use as long as to put follow the directions. I would highly recommend for anyone especially if your just starting out.

Perfect smoker. First use was for several chickens. Results amazing , well done and taste was outstanding. Baby back ribs are next, gonna be good. The digital readout is difficult to see in bright weather, used a hand held shade then no problem.

  • Great smoker, great customer service.

I had the original version of this smoker and the bottom finally rotted out 8 years later, I bought this one again. The screen display went out a month after we got it. I contacted Customer Care and they sent another one and reminded me to register the warranty in case I had any other issues.

  • Good unit, horrendous delivery saga
Style: 30" Smoker w/ Window & Legs
This smoker replaced another MasterBuilt smoker that I had for years and had seen better days. This one is smaller than my old one and I didn't realize the size difference when ordering. It's fine though and should be large enough for anything that I want to cook. Getting the unit was a disaster though. I don't know how these ship, but I live in NW Florida. The unit shipped from Ocala FL, went to Jacksonville FL, then ended up in Washington State! After about 10 days I called Amazon and the service rep told me I would get a replacement sent overnight. Well, that means overnight from when it ships, not really overnight. I called on a Wed, expecting the unit Thurs. I got it the following Tuesday. This was well over two weeks from my initial order. I needed the smoker for an event a few days after I finally received it, so it was a little nerve wracking on whether I would actually get the unit in time. Now that I have it, the smoker is working well for me. ... show more

  • A simple, solid smoker that does the job
Style: 30" Smoker
I have purchased this smoker twice. The first one ran great for 3 years, but finally the heating element burned out. It's now in my garage awaiting warm weather so I can install the replacement element that I ordered online and will serve as a backup when the heating element burns out in my current smoker. The elements will burn out after a time, particularly when you use a smoker as often as I do (3 or 4 times a week year-round). Unboxing and doing the minor assembly required for this smoker is quick and easy. It took me less than 30 minutes. Spending more on an electric smoker with a window is a waste, in my view, because the glass quickly gets fogged with steam and smoke residue. Besides, you should be cooking to internal temperature with a good remote temperature probe instead of opening the door periodically (letting heat and smoke escape) to check on progress. Speaking of not opening the door while cooking, I'm a huge fan of this smoker's external smokewood loading feature that allows you to add wood without opening the door. Pre-heating the smoker is important in cold weather. Up to a 30 minutes may be necessary. Pre-heating is not so necessary during the warm/hot spring/summer/fall months if the outside temperature is above 60̊ F. In fact, there is a good reason to skip pre-heating entirely on really warm days (over 80̊ F.), as explained in the next paragraph. Of course, the Masterbuilt electric smokers rely on a electric heating element for heat. The element automatically turns off when the smoker reaches the target temperature you set. It then turns back on when the temperature in the cabinet drops several degrees below the target temperature. While the Masterbuilt smokers are pretty well insulated, they are affected by the outdoor temperature. You will find that the element stays on much longer during colder weather, so there is hardly ever a problem getting enough smoke in such weather. However, particularly when the outdoor temperature is over 80̊ F. or so, the element will not stay on as much, which can decrease the smoke production. I have two approaches to this problem: (1) In hot weather, I never pre-heat the smoker. I just put the meat in the smoker and start it "cold." This maximizes the initial smoke until the smoker gets to the target temperature, which can takes as little as 10 minutes in really hot weather if you're cooking at, say, 225̊. (2) Every once in a while if not enough smoke is being produced, I open the door for 30 to 60 seconds and let the temperature in the cabinet come down, forcing the heating element to come back on. This hardly ever results in extended cooking time because the temperature recovers pretty quickly, and if not enough smoke is being produced anyway, you're not letting out a lot of smoke. A lot of my meat smoking projects are under 3-4 hours, and I always use the Masterbuilt for those. I'm only tempted to fire up my Weber bullet charcoal smoker for longer smokes such as ribs and brisket. Tips for easier cleanup: Line the bottom tray of the smoker with foil and be sure to poke a hole in the foil to match the hole in the tray. Also, foil the water pan before every use of the smoker, which makes it super easy to clean. Try it just once without foil, and you'll be a dedicated water-pan-foiler thereafter! Also, get a protective heat-resistant mat to go under the smoker and protect your patio or deck because there will be occasional spills of grease no matter how careful you are. The photo shows my smoker in operation on Christmas Day 2020 -- doing a twice-smoked ham. If you look closely, you can see the clean smoke coming out the vent on the top right of the smoker. ... show more

  • Buyer Beware || Does not produce smoke @ 225 || Company Acknowledged
Style: 30" Smoker
In November I purchased a Masterbuilt 30" smoker on a black Friday sale. I was replacing my original Masterbuilt 30" smoker that I bought back in 2011. That thing was great and I only replaced then original unit as the molding was starting to fail (it still smoked and held temp like day 1). I used my new Masterbuilt four times between January and mid March (mostly doing chicken breasts and a pork tenderloin @ 225). I was suspicious there was a problem because the smoke flavor wasn't as prominent but I chalked it up to a newly seasoned box. On my second cook, I studied the chips and realized they werent burning like the previous box. The Masterbuilt 30" has a much smaller chip tray then the previous model. In early April I read through reddit forums and scoured blogs trying to find assistance on what I was doing wrong. On April 8th, I reached to customer service for advice on troubleshooting why the new smoker wasnt generating smoke. At this point, the smoker wasnt producing smoke at 225 and wasnt always producing smoke at 250. The automated response was "Thank you for contacting Masterbuilt Customer Support. We strive to provide you best in class customer service. We are here to help you with all your customer support needs. We aim to respond to your request within 48 business hours. However, during periods of high demand, it may take up to 5 business days to receive a response. We appreciate your patience during these times." It took 9 business for a response. I finally heard back on April 18th. The Company responded by saying "it is recommended to increase the temperature to 275. Once they being to smolder, after about 8-10 minutes, reduce the temperature to the desired low setting." The representative went on to say "In warmer weather, the chips may need a higher setting to begin to smoke because the element will work in shorter cycles. The smoker temperature will drop less frequently in warmer weather." Its insulting their rhetoric states that smoking in April is the cause of not being able to use the smoker at 225. I asked the company to clarify why the unit wasnt working. "Due to the unit being insulated like an oven, if the outside temperature is warm the unit will not cut the element on as often." I exchanged over 10 emails during April and May with the company and even had a call with one of their team members who acknowledged that this unit has problems generating smoke. I asked for final clarification this week and they responded with: For your model number 20071117 smoker, it should be on page 24 of the instruction manual. It should state in the Operating directions for smoking wood chips "• If wood chips do not smoke on low setting, increase temperature to 275°. After 8 to 10 minutes, or when wood chips begin to smolder, reduce temperature to desired low setting." I went from being a loyal supporter to now opposed to Masterbuilt. This unit does not produce smoke at 225 and inconsistently does at 250. Buyer beware. ... show more
