  • Perfect for us old, lazy guys.
Size: 40-inch Digital
Totally stress free. I have had all the other types of smokers but I got old and lazy. When I moved to the retirement community I got lazy and bought an electric smoker. I can set it for 18 hours and go away for the day, no worries. I add chips for smoke flavor a few times and it comes out perfect. No red ring as that is caused by NOx from wood fires but is not important for flavor. I got the 40 inch size so a whole big brisket fits on 1 rack. I have a friend that got the model with the window. After a couple times scraping the stuff off the window he stopped scraping. Window is not needed. Since it’s electric just set it and forget it. On a side note, as I said I’m lazy so I no longer make my own rub. I buy the “Tony Chanceries No Salt”. Since it has no salt I can put it on as thick as I want (remember to salt the meat separately). I don’t rub it, I cover it thick. On a side, side note I got wireless thermometers. Much easier to use (did I say I’m lazy?) and it is blue tooth so as I sit here I can check the meat. The brand I got, ThermoMaven, produces a nice time vs temp chart on my phone so I can see when the stall starts and finishes as well as when the meat is done. Now if Elon will get busy and make a robot to take the meat out of the smoker I can be fully lazy. ... show more

  • Moisture escapes from smoker into the contorl/display housing....shorts it out!!! AVOID!!!
Size: 40-inch Digital
DEFECTIVE. The smoker body cavity has (2) smoke/moisture escape point on the top of the body... they feed MOIST SMOKE directly into the control panel/display. After (4) hours of NEW USE, my control shorted out. Luckily, I complained and received a second replacement control/display as the first one WAS NOT READABLE IN DAYLIGHT. ??? WHO SMOKES IN THEIR HOUSE OR GARAGE? NOT. Masterbuilt sent a replacement, but unfornately, LED's are not what you want in broad daylight. The design should have been LCD's, which you can read under most 'light' conditions. STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM MASTERBUILT on the shorted control/display. I have 'patched' my smoker with gasketing, etc, to seal off the spewing moisture and smoke that goes DIRECTLY INTO THE CONTROL. VERY POOR DESIGN, AVOID! (PS, I'm a retired engineer, I know how to troubleshoot and find the root causes of issues). ... show more

  • Amazing smoker
Size: 40-inch Digital
Update #2 Heating element went out when I had a 130.00 brisket. Ruined brisket because I smoke the brisket overnight. UPDATE #3 REPLACE HEATING ELEMENT READY TO GO... NO GO! BOUGHT A $108.00 BRISKET, WAS CHECKING TEMP JUST BEFORE PUTTING BRISKET INTO SMOKER. TEMPS DROPPING DUE TO WHAT APPEARS TO BE MALFUNCTION OF TIMER. NOW, MASTERBUILT WANTS ME TO BUY ANOTHER TIMER. I DO NOT, NOT, AND NOT RECOMMEND THIS SMOKER. TERRIBLE DESIGN. HORRIBLE QUALITY. *******UPDATED DETAILS******** THE SMOKER IS A NICE SMOKER THAT DOES THE JOB. HOWEVER THE INSULATION IS NOT VERY GOOD. WHEN THE OUTSIDE IS AS HOT AS THE INSIDE, IT IS CLEAR THE INSULATION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE CONTROLLER ON THE TOP OF SMOKER IS NOT VISIBLE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. I LITERALLY HAD TO GET A BLACK TOWEL TO PUT OVER IT TO SEE THE NUMBERS. THIS COULD EASILY BE FIXED BY THE MFG. IT IS AN OUTSIDE SMOKER, YET THE MANUAL CLEARLY SAYS TO NOT LET IT GET WET. WELL, IF IT IS AN OUTSIDE SMOKER, IT SHOULD BE WEATHER PROOF, ESPECIALLY RAIN PROOF. DON'S GET ME WRONG, IT IS A GOOD SMOKER, BUT THESE ITEMS SERIOUSLY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MFG. I SENT A MSG TO THE MFG ABOUT AN ISSUE, IT TOOK THEM 15 DAYS TO REPLY TO ME. NOT EVEY REMOTELY ACCEPTABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. ... show more

  • Very easy to use
Size: 40-inch Digital
Through the years I’ve gone through two 30” Digital Masterbuilt electric smokers and bought This 40” April first 2025. They are very easy to use and produce very good smoked food. I have kept them outside on my 15’ by 20’ covered patio and where they get used regularly. The only problem I have is the controller going out. This one has gone out in 7 months. This time instead of leaving the controller on the smoker I won’t fasten it down and just sit it on top of the smoker where I can unplug it and keep it in the house. I believe moisture is causing them to stop working. I will buy another one when this one starts to come apart from lots of use. ... show more

  • Summer Sausage made easy
Size: 40-inch Digital
Great for sausage, snack sticks, jerky, & salmon. Anything you need to start low and slowly increase temp. If it’s warm out the burner doesn’t take make effort to get to temp so you don’t see smoke, the fix is to open the door wide until it smokes. May have to repeat once an hour but really helps smoking during hot humid summer days. ... show more

  • My best purchase of the year!
Size: 40-inch Digital
I had to wait a couple of months for this as a different one I ordered was "lost" at the Amazon station near me. It was worth the wait. No standing around my gas smoker, juggling the temperature, just set the temp and time. I usually fill the chip tray when I first turn it on then use the side hatch to add more chips if I want more smoke. It has been sturdy and trouble free and the optional cover fits like a glove. I've made chicken, ribs, Boston butts, back bacon, and my favorite , deli quality pastrami. The chrome racks clean easily and I couldn't be happier ... show more
