Easy to use, fantastic results
My family loves smoked foods. I have had a 22" Weber Smokey Mountain bullet charcoal smoker for years, and while we love the results I get from it, I found myself hardly ever using it because of the need to be constantly tending the fire. Flipping through the television channels in January, I came upon an infomercial for a small, portable Masterbuilt electric smoker and the food that they were pulling out of it looked so good that I decided to do a bit of research. I ended up treating my family (and myself) to a new electric smoker and chose the Masterbuilt 30" (rather than the little one on the TV). I cannot be more pleased. Since getting it, I have smoked food for my family every other weekend. The smoker could not be easier to use. Plug it in, set the temperature that you want and the timer, put some water in the water pan, add your food, and off you go. Wood chips (about a handful every hour or so) are easily added through the side mechanism without ever having to open the smoker door. I use a remote digital thermometer to make sure that I pull the food at the right temperature and the results have been fantastic. So far, I've made pork shoulders (three times), beef ribs, salmon, baby back pork ribs, St. Louis spareribs, turkey and chicken wings, whole chickens, a turkey breast and an eye round roast of beef. Every single thing I've smoked in the Masterbuilt has been delicious and thoroughly enjoyed by my family. While I saw that some reviews for the smoker criticized the need to cut full racks of St. Louis ribs in half to get them to fit, while true, this is not something I see as complaint worthy. Were I to need to make food for more than 10 people, or make multiple turkeys at once, I probably would haul out the Weber bullet; however, for cooking less than that, I can't imagine ever using anything but my Masterbuilt ever again. PROS: Well built, super simple operation, fantastic results, easy to clean. CONS: None that I have been able to see. ADDED BONUS: Got mine with a nice discount as an Amazon Warehouse Deal. The only thing I saw that kept it from being full price was a dent and rip on the box -- the smoker, however, was in pristine condition wrapped in plastic and padded with styrofoam packing. Not a dent or scratch on the unit itself. Great job, Masterbuilt!!! UPDATE: Used the Masterbuilt on Thanksgiving Day as a warming oven. Had it in my 35 degree garage with no use of wood for smoke. Instead, just put water in the pan, set the temperature for 180, and was able to keep casseroles warm and moist as the came out of the oven, freeing up the oven for cooking other things. Everything made it to the table in perfect shape and ready to eat without needing to reheat. I continue to be thrilled with this smoker.

Masterbuilt digital, solid door (no glass) is a champ!
Size: 30-inch Digital
I've been using a Weber Smokey Mountain smoker for more than 20 years. I used to scoff at the thought of an electric smoker. My son got this Masterbuilt a few years, the analog with glass door version and loved it. I gave in and got the digital and no glass version based on his recommendation, he said the glass is not worth it since it gets dirty and you can't see through it and probably looses heat. This thing is a champ! Great, perfect, white smoke production even at 220 degrees. Outstanding temperature accuracy. I almost feel guilty because of how little I do now compared to the Weber. No trying to fiddle with the vents and charcoal door to get temp up or down. My only issue is that the little plastic tab on the vent wheel came off. No big deal. Cost wise, this will pay for itself in the bags of lump charcoal I won't need to buy. I really love this smoker, wish I converted years ago!

It's working well after a year
Size: 30-inch Digital
Made some awesome smoked walleye. Only had it for a year so far but it's working well. Easy to program, esy to load. Still a bit of a chore to clean but not sure how that could be any better. Recommended.

Great Beginner Smoker
Size: 30-inch Digital
I bought this smoker because smoked foods is the way to my heart! But I was always intimidated by doing it myself, even with the nominal experienced I have been able to get over the years. I wanted something electric, as I am not excited about babysitting a fire anymore. This seemed to be about as simple and as 'entry level' as it gets. And I camped the price, and I am glad I did because it fell cheap so I took the chance and pulled the trigger. I got NO regrets! The few things I have tried so far have been fantastic. It holds its set temperature well. I fired it up when it was about 25* outside and it came up to temp in less than 25 minutes and was ready to go. It gives good smoke from the chips. The loading of the chips is convenient and easy. The operation of it is simple, and that was what I wanted. The capacity is fine for us. There is 4 of us, but we would never eat enough to justify filling it up every time we cook. I cooked a big spiral sliced ham and 2 turkey breasts for Christmas dinner and had more than enough space for something else if needed. I also like how the closure on the door is adjustable. I didn't have to adjust it because it was fine out of the box, but if you do find the door is not sealed as it should be, you can tighten it up. If I had to mention some Cons... May be too simple for some people. The control is digital but it sets time and temp and that is it. You will have to buy a monitoring setup to use with this. I knew this going in and was good with it. Just be aware. Clean up is, meh, like cleaning anything else really. Usually never fun, but seems to be easy enough and it does not need to be done after every single cook. The only other thing I can think of is I wish that maybe the temp would go up to 300*. Let me be clear again that you will need to purchase a wireless temperature probe setup to enjoy this the most. For my very first cook, I did not have one and it was not a good experience having to open the door each time to check temps. It is a no-frills, set it and forget it type of setup. It is meant to be entry-level and it plays this part very well.

Good value, easy to use, has lasted 5 years so far
Size: 30-inch Digital
I've had for about 5 years. I recommend covering the bottom plate and the water pan with foil as others have recommended. If you are not getting enough smoke, I modified how the tray that holds the wood chips sits so that it is on the heating element. This ends up making it produce more smoke. To avoid issues with the electronics going out I would recommend having a cover and storing it in the garage or under a covered porch area. I use on average 1-2 times a month, year round and have been happy. I use wired temperature probes that are put thru the top vent. It is too small do do a whole turkey, so you will have to cut it up. This ends up working out well as you can pull the white and dark meat at different times to get the perfect cook. The presentation isn't as good but the flavor is better. Don't buy the cold smoking attachment. It makes cheese just taste like ash. I use a metal snake and pellets for cold smoking in this and that works out well. Like others say, don't bother with a model with a window. It is a waste of money and doesn't insulate as well. I had the 40" model with the window and while it was nice, the window was a waste. It gets dirty and you can't see thru it anyway. I don't remember putting it together, so it must have not been to bad. I have legs on it to lift it off the deck. It is not easy to move with the legs on. Other models have wheels that are good if you are on concrete. I set alarms for every 30-60 minutes to load chips until there is enough smoke and then just wait until the alarm beeps. Very easy to use.

Excellent oven. Terrible smoker
Unit is great at maintaining desired temperature, though its internal thermometer's accuracy leaves something to be desired. Use your own and adjust the unit's temp so your thermometer matches your desired level. This will also help you, as the digital display is very difficult to read during daylight hours. One might think that having great temperature control would be a benefit, but not in this case. This "smoker" is designed to function by heating wood chips placed over its heating element. Due to its ability to retain heat so well, the heating element does not cycle often enough to create smoke. If you somehow manage to create embers (I have done so by putting my chips in as I start up the heating process), you will need to refill the chips as often as every 30 minutes to keep that alive (You could be babysitting this device all day depending on what you're smoking). If the embers go out, you will find it very difficult to restart them to create smoke once again. You will likely need to open the main door, empty the chip tray and hope you lowered the temp enough to give it enough heating time to start the smoke again before the element turns off. This, of course, extends your overall cooking time as well. But wait, you may have seen the cold smoker attachment that promises 12 hours of uninterrupted smoke. I am sorry, but this unit, despite being digitial, will not fit as is with that attachment. I know. I tried and was very disappointed. You may have also heard about pellet smoking trays that you can place inside the unit. By this point, you may begin to wonder why you even bought this thing in the first place. Oh yeah, electric smokers were supposed to be more user-friendly. Unfortunately, again, for you, this device is sealed so well it does not get enough air flow to easily keep those pellet trays lit when placed inside. You could circumvent this by creating a separate box that you could place the tray inside then use duct to connect it to the smoker. Is this starting to sound like more trouble than it is worth? If convenience and ease are what you were looking for in a smoker, save up and buy a pellet smoker. If you're handy and like tinkering, by all means, buy this. It is great at maintaining temperatures. On a side-note, if you're thinking of making poultry in this and you like crispy skin, again give it a hard pass. It will not happen. The unit's highest temperature of 275 will not get you what you are looking for. You will end up with rubbery, tough and inedible skin. It will also not produce smoke at temperatures under 200ish (the element will almost never turn on), so lox or smoked cheeses are also out.

Fun to use
Size: 30-inch Digital
This is my second identical unit. After 7 yrs, one hinge rusted out and so I replaced it on Prime Day. Note that my first one was lightly covered but outdoors all year, so I wasn’t expecting it to hold up forever. Nonetheless, I got a lot of enjoyment out of it, hence a new one. There is a knack to smoking meats but as a novice I had some success right away and got better over time. I would advise cleaning only the chrome racks where the food actually rests, but NOT cleaning the inside (let it get black,) as that seemed to contribute to the lower hinge rusting out. As far as drip pans and the water reservoir, that’s up to you. I remove the electronic control after each use and keep that indoors, though I don’t know if that is entirely necessary. I would like for the temperature setting to go a little lower than it’s minimum but you need it up above 235° or so to get some smoke going. It picks up the smoky flavor in the early stages so you could cut the temp. back after the first couple of hours. Overall, I found it easy and fun to use and you can generally eat whatever you produce even it’s not perfect.
