Eh. You could do worse.
Decent for price point. Doesnt hold consisten temp in my experiences so far. Ive been smoking for 20 years, this isnt the best or worst ive used. It will make due now that i know i need to have it on 275 degrees the whole time. Also slows down smoking when youve put a couple trays worth of wood in so plan to dump the ash at least once on an 8 hour smoke but thats explainable.

Disappointed
Disappointed you reduced your quality to save a few dollars.
I recently purchased a new 30in digital electric smoker because I have a previous model that basically was used over the past 5 years and it was time to get a new one.
My old smoker is a Masterbuilt that was a predecessor to the new I purchased.
Things were fine while assembling till I got to the wood chip loader and tray.
The loader is nothing but a thin piece of flimsy sheet metal compared to a pop can and the wood chip tray is so tiny I thought it was an ash tray.
On the previous model the chip loader was made from a better grade of steel and more durable. The wood chip tray is about twice the size and is also made of a better grade of metal.
This was so disappointing to see such a drop in quality on a product that I was fond of.
In summary I am returning this product and moving on from Masterbuilt.

Easy as 3..2..1
This smoker makes it easy enough for my kids to make dinner... Comes up to speed quick, keeps within 3 to 5 degrees of set temp. Just got done smoking some pork ribs.. just as good as our local joint. Love this thing.

You get what you pay for
Not the best construction but I guess you get what you pay for. Doesnt drain well, and I have used in 5 times and the water bowl is starting to corrode.

Great features and great results!
I’m a beginner at smoking at least at coming up with perfect recipes. The smoker does a great job smoking though. I really love how I can add wood chips without opening the door!

Let’s you cheat at smoking.
This smoker is brilliant in many ways. Digital control that allows temp adjustment down to the single degree. Timer allows cooking overnight without oversight. Window lets you watch the product cook. Wood chips are easily put in without losing temp by opening the door. But this will not last forever Consider only having this for 4-6 years before needing to replace it.

Great smoker!
I have had this smoker for 5 yrs. It has turned out the best food! One thing I finally figured out. This smoker creates a lot of steam. That is great for chicken, fish etc. that you want to retain the moisture. After smoking many briskets and not achieving the hard bark I liked due to the steam, I decided to try something. After loading chips in the side tray and got it to smoking I removed the slide in loader. I opened the top vent all the way. Wala, I finally achieved greatness. Removing the loader let the steam out and allowed my brisket to get a hard bark. Finally. Now I smoke my brisket 4 to 5 hrs and get the bark I want. Then I wrap and continue smoking until done. I really love this smoker!

Kielbasa King!!
I bought the 40" electric smoker specifically to smoke kielbasa amd other sausage. After about 6 weeks, and 40 pounds of sausage, I'm more than satisfied with the results obtained for what I consider to be a bargain price unit! I use a ThermoWoeks Smoke to monitor internal air temperature amd it is rarely more than a few degrees off the digital readout. My only minor disappointment is not getting smoke below a smoker set point of 185F.
