Customer Reviews for Masterbuilt 30 in. Analog Electric Smoker in Black with 3 Racks

My son-in-law got one and my husband seemed interested so I surprised him with one. He loves it!

I have had this one for a year and no issues. Kept it in a dry place and took care of it. But I went to use it today and hinges on the door just broke off.. I’m pretty angry and thought it would last longer than a year

No more waiting for friends to bring me Smoked Meats. Best investment I have made. It's like taking your cooking outside. Easy easy my favorite is cherry wood smoked chicken.

I bought this smoker about a month or so ago and it was the best purchase I have made all year. It was suppose to be a gift for my husband but I have been the one using it more than he has. This is perfect for someone who is a beginner in smoking. Have already recommended this to many of my friends.

Easy assembly, quick set up, follow instructions for curing, smocked a flank steak and some spare ribs with Mesquite chips. 4 hrs at 250 F, came out great, we are on the Medium/Well side in our family, so the time and temp were perfect. Added wood chips (dry) every 45 minutes, worked good, i'm not a pro so I don't know if that's correct, but it worked. Also used the unfiltered vinegar, 1/2 pan, had to re-fill once. During the curing, 3 hrs, I took my time to take notes on the temperature rheostat to note position and temperature given, looks like full max hits around 425-450 rather quick. Overall, easy to use, I'm pretty happy, I will post in about 5-10 uses to update. Had to buy a cover, extra expense.

I bought this smoker from Masterbuilt...I received a partial item. I received a completely sealed package, with missing components(see photo) I had to figure out was the right part and go to the hardware store a purchase. The smoker won't maintain correct temp. Doesnt heat up enough to smoke. I had to burn the chips with a blow torch to get even the smallest amount of smoke. The smoker pan was incorrectly built so the lid wouldn't fit. I had to fix that as well. All in all, would not recommend.

Bought it a few months back and it is perfect. Smoked ribs, butts, fish and made my own bacon. Excellent flavor all the way thru.

I have had this product for about a year. Using my Masterbuilt smoker has opened the door to more flavors than I could imagine. Smoking food adds so much more to all kinds of meats and it has allowed me to experiment with different woods. Finding out that you can make quality smoked food at home and not having to pay the high restaurant prices is awesome.

Had been eyeing a smoker for a while finally saw a glass door version. This looks like a fridge but don’t be deceived. Controls heat very well and large enough even for the biggest Turkey. Compact and can be used with or without smoke for those who need an extra oven (Xmas ham).

Have smoked meats from ham, ribs, brisket and more! This smoker has been great! Easy to use and add chips! bought the side smoker for the winter, which was a great buy!

My daughter gave me the smoker for Father’s Day this past year. This is the best gift ever and is used every single weekend! I am becoming a smoker champ and love the time it gives for conversion while we all wait!!

I bought this smoker 18 months ago and have loved using it. I've smoked chicken, turkey, ribs and brisket in it and they all turned out fantastic.

I habe the pellet 30 inch smoker and its easy to use and has awesome taste i can put a chicken on in the morning and when me and my wife take lunch its ready.

Top element is a nice featurePurchased the MES 130 P about five weeks ago I have smoked sausage brisket chicken pastrami to Name a few smoker does not create a lot of smoke watch under 240° which is very disappointing to me I like a slow smoke especially for Bacon and sausage Thought I could get the slow smoker cooker to solve the problem finding out it’s not available And they don’t know when or if ever will be again chip tray could be bigger the Bluetooth is useless unless you want to stay within 15 20 feet away I expected better I have thermometers that will go Five times as far

My wife got me this for an early Christmas present we open it up (no dent in the box or anything out of the ordinary) we open it up and there is a big dent in it as you can see in the picture so not only did it happen when they made it they didn’t fix it they just packaged it up and sent it away. This thing is like tinfoil thick can’t hold heat

We Smoked our first ever pork butt and it was incredible! So easy to use and easy clean up. I recommend spraying the racks with cooking spray prior to use for ease of cleaning. We covered the smoker floor with foil for easy clean up as well. We love it!

works great easy to use. Wish it was a little bigger but that's on me for the model I chose good price and delivered promptly

I was new to smoking, but now I can make everything, from pulled pork to smoked mac &cheese! Keeps great temp

Have been using for three years now. Works great. Would like a little more higher temp

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first smoker. I put these 2 pork sirloins to cook before work. It was ready for dinner and the meat was soooo tender and tastes really good! The smoker works awesome. I also love that it’s small and light!

I received this as a gift. It's the perfect size for the home.

Used only once but the Brisket came out delicious. 14 hours and the best part was I never had to add charcoal! (It is electric!). LOL.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love the MasterBuilt Electric Smoker. It was easy to assemble and easy to move around. We cooked a chicken and it came out Awesome. It was Juicy and cooked evenly in the smoker. I love that the cooker is compact and doesn't take up much space on our patio. All around great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an amazing smoker and just the perfect size for my smoking needs! First, it was very easy to set up and in no time I was pre-seasoning and at the last hour of seasoning, you add your woods chips and right away that wonderful aroma had the neighbors coming out to see where that wonderful smell was coming from and thankfully the 2 shelves hold a nice amount because I think I will be feeding crowd! Its very easy to use and has a very nice design, chrome coated smoking racks, easy to use temperature gauge, water bowl, drip tray and a chip tray. Also, the user guide comes with delicious recipes that I plan on using. I cook outdoors year 'round so I will get a lot of use from this smoker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked how this Masterbuilt 30-Inch Analog Smoker was simple enough to assemble. It came packed nicely and took me just 30 minutes to put together. The quality of materials used is heavy duty but the smoker itself is very easy to move around. It says portable but I thought it might be too heavy. It wasn't and I can easily move it around using the handles. It doesn't take up a lot of space yet is large enough to smoke plenty of meats. The thick insulated walls allow for perfect temperature year round so no worries in the winter cold. You can smoke up to eight racks of ribs at one time and I love that. My family likes a smoky flavor so it's also good for veggies, fish burgers and steaks. This unit is extremely durable and can also be used indoors. If your looking for a smoker that's straightforward and gets the job done without being pricey then the Masterbuilt 30-Inch Analog Smoker is a must have for year round neighborhood gatherings, parties and weekend cookouts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My neighbor down the street has one of these so I thought it was a good idea to try one out. I can’t tell you anything bad about the smoker since I’ve never owned one before to compare it to. I do a lot of entertaining with colleagues visiting every other weekend and this gave me other options of meat varieties to offer other then barbecuing hamburgers and hotdogs for my guests. So my neighbor put it together for me ( it was very simple to put together but he wanted to do it in exchange for a piece of chicken and links) and showed me how easy it was to smoke the meat too. I smoked sausage, ribs and a whole chicken my first time using it. I’ve never owned a smoker before and always loved the flavor of the meats when my neighbor would use his Masterbuilt 30 inch Electric Analog Smoker. Would have liked to see a cover be included in the box to protect it from the outdoor elements. Will be ordering one of the covers soon. Check out how nice my meats turned out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this smoker a couple weeks ago, after our old smoker went out. I really enjoyed the outcome of the food when using this smoker. The smoker took all of 15 minutes to assemble and looks great. Being a y’all person, I like how the smoker sits on tall legs. Makes it much easier to get food in and out of. All said and done this is a great smoker. It is easy to assemble, cooks great, and easy to maintain.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish I would have gotten a smoker a long time ago! I don’t think I will ever be able to eat chicken that hasn’t been smoked ever again! This smoker was so easy to put together and the instructions made it very easy to use. I’m not to great in the kitchen but my smoked chicken was a hit everyone loved it and wanted more. It’s large enough to use for a bbq with lots of family and friends and still a perfect size to use for just a regular family dinner.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I made smoked chicken breasts tonight for dinner. Super easy to use, easy to cook and clean. At first the thermostat wasn’t working correctly but it started showing the actual temperature about an hour into cooking the chicken. I’m not a cook by all means but this was EASY to use! With a few tips and tricks from the internet (and my dad!) i had it handled all from there! Food came out amazing. Cleaning was super easy, took out the racks and containers for the wood chips and water and hand washed them with mild dish soap. Would definitely recommend for beginners like me! Not to mention inexpensive!

I purchased this smoker for my husband for his birthday. The reviews led me to believe it was a good quality but basic smoker suitable for our first tries at smoking. We primed the smoker per the instructions, then smoked ribs the following day. Although we smoked them low and slow, when we went to clean the smoker afterward we saw that the black coating around and on the inside of the door was bubbling and peeling (photos). While this does not affect the food (which turned out very well), it is a sign of bad workmanship and we are concerned other problems will arise. We tried calling Masterbuilt customer service several times but could never get through to a representative even after waiting in the queue for 45 minutes. We also tried submitting our concern via their online customer service email, but never received a response. I cannot recommend this or any Masterbuilt product for these reasons. Buyer beware.
