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

I hate that the Bluetooth feature no longer works with this smoker.

Easy to assemble. Just follow directions. Be sure to get a cover for it.

I had a master built smoker since 2022 that was gifted to me . It wasn’t getting hot so i bought another one. I had to get a heating element in Sept of 2023. We often use our smoker for chicken and uses the highest temperature. Now we’re having the same issue. We have to use a different brand for us to use it without burning it out.

This Smoker was easy to assemble and put into use.

Temp varies 75-100 degrees.

This is my first ever smoker. I have had it for about 3 years now, and I use it as a aid to my grill that I normally smoke with that does not have a offset on it. This smoker basically is a outdoor oven with a box for wood chips to put some smoke flavor in your food. If you know how to cook in the oven, you can cook on this. The temp does not get higher than about 300- 350 on max and drops to a good 250 275 once food is added. But hey we smoking baby we here for low and slow. The paint does peel, but I didn't buy this for it stay pretty. I bought it smoke my food. Pros- tender juicy chicken, ribs, burger, pork chops etc. If you know how to BBQ you will produce greatness. Light weight, easy to assemble. Came with a cover. Cons- Cord gets hot sometimes (main concern), Small space overall and in between racks, easy build up of drippings, makes for difficult cleaning. smoke box small, so you have to manage the wood chips often to get deep smoke flavor and ring on those thick cuts of meat. All and all for my first smoker, Im satisfied for the price. If you learn the capabilities of your equipment you can produce tender juicy meat packed with flavor. Be patience and watch food closet to the heating element. You will be fine.

I have owned this unit for two years. I have used it about 15 times. The unit no longer turns on. I was never satisfied with the outcome of the food I smoked. Not recommended.

I bought this and the first time i used it the door warped and has to be lifted up to shut and the gauge showing the temperature is not working the temperature isn't working properly. Awesome taste tho.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this as a gift for Christmas 2023 and love it. Been smoking while chickens,ribs and even a entire turkey 15 lbs.works as good as my old lp gas one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a good product. If you plan on modifying your smoker this a good product to work with. It has multiple replacement parts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have purchased two of these units (one for me and one for a friend). Replacement parts are easy to get thru Masterbuilt. I added lava lock strips to door edges to minimize smoke departure. I use this unit weekly for family size cooks. Everything from chicken, beef, pork, salmon, veggies, even eggs. Gets the job done at a reasonable price. Element and analog dial should be replaced after about 52 uses on average for me. Body holds up well. I recommend buying a cover for it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son gave this to me for my birthday. Never used one. Simple to use, easy to clean, resulting in a tasty end product. Love it. Many thanks my son. 😋

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last summer and it has been so fun to use! It is so easy to use and does an amazing job! This smoker is built very well and seems like it will last a long time. But, if/when it can no longer be used, I will be buying another Masterbuilt product. This is my 1st smoker and I enjoy it immensely! Thanks you for a fun, quality product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my smoker for a couple of years, actually I am on my second electric smoker, and I have cooked pork, chicken, and beef in it. I love the ease of setting it and basically forgetting it, except to add wood, which is easily done from the outside so I don't have to open it and lose smoke or heat. I have complete control of the amount of smoke because I don't like things over smoked, and even one of my daughters prefers what I cook in the smoker over well known restaurants. Just this past week I smoked a turkey boneless turkey breast to make a copycat sandwich that another daughter had eaten in Nevada. I love the control that I have over the entire process of cooking on my electric smoker and I cannot thank you enough for creating such a product that is small enough for the average family to use and easy enough to where it isn't stressful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had this smoker for 2 years. It’s been great, easy to use and now that I know how to use it, everything comes out great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After prr-season it started blowing fuses heating unit not working right.Will never buy Masterbuilt product again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this smoker as a gift for my Father. He wanted trying smoking meats and he has loved this product. Very simple to assemble as well! All around very happy with the product!

Trash, door hinges broke off on the first day. Won’t hold a steady temp. Very thin/cheaply made.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] HAVE HAD IT FOR YEARS. WORKS GREAT. BUT MY DISPLAY WENT OUT SEVERAL YEARS AGO, BUT I STILL USE IT.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this over a year ago and the thing now will not work it is a Peace of junk.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought one for both homes one in Florida and one for Ohio! Before I downsized from 10 acres and an 8 x 8 Foot walk in cooler, turned in to A Smoke House and used to smoke up to 200 lbs. of Salmon at A time for a Fish market.I missed my Smoke House , So I did some research and bought a Masterbuilt 30 inch and Just love it. I still smoke salmon, chickens ,pheasants, Ribs, Pork butts, and home made sausage.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A couple of years ago I owned this smoker. I tried to up my smoking game by going to other brands of gas and then to charcoal smokers Of the 3 smokers, it turns out that for my needs, I should have stayed with the Masterbuilt. The food always came out perfectly cooked because it was easy to manage the temperature, which I believe is the key to a great smoke. I will again be looking to buy another Masterbuilt electric smoker this spring.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Holding up well. The paint has flaked quite a bit and I’ve replaced the internal parts over time. I also wish the smoke outlet was a little bit bigger to avoid having food taste over smoked.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this smoker for 2 years now. For smoking, it doesn't get any easier than this. Figuring out where the temp needs to be on the dial is going to be your only challenge, but that is not difficult. I was nervous about smoking a Thanksgiving Turkey in 20 degree weather but it really didn't take much more time during warmer conditions. The only downside is that it doesn't smoke as well when you are trying to do lower temps but there are ways to overcome that. For the price and the way it's held up, I will go with the same model again whenever this one needs to be replaced.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this smoker to increase the amount of smoke I could get into my food and man does it do that! Great price too. I was tired of my old pellet grill not working probably. This one has really stable temperature where my pellet grill was all over the place. A+
