Actually, they have their place, each has their pros and cons.
I started out with a Masterbuilt and used it until it got blown off its perch on my deck and busted up the door and broke the heating element. I have since replaced it with two different models of Pit Boss pellet smokers. I'm not convinced I like the pellet smokers any better.
The pros with the Masterbuilt were;
1. Insulated, cooks good in cold weather
2. Can use real wood chips versus processed pellets, some of which have oils and binders
3. Moisture tray to fill with apple cider vinegar. The pork butts I cooked in my Masterbuilt were moister and juicier than the ones cooked in my pellet grills.
4. Cost. Cheaper to operate since the wood/pellets don't produce the heat.
5. Cost, again. Cheaper to buy.
6. Less complicated, fewer things to go wrong.
Regarding the juiciness of the meat. I'm going to have to experiment more with my pellet grills but I'm finding that having the meat directly over the hotspot of a pellet grill is drying it out more than what I experienced in my Masterbuilt.
Personally, I miss having my Masterbuilt, I cooked a lot of good meat on that thing.
Thank you, those were actually the next steps I was going to try. Thanks for the confirmation of what to do.
I always suggest to those wanting to get into smoking is to buy a MasterBuilt electric when Walmart clearances them to make room for the Artificial Christmas Trees.
The internal thermometer was also not accurate and I didn't find this out until my dad tested it using multiple other thermometers. So not only did the heating element cycle on and off creating a large variance throughout the cook, but the target temperature wasn't using an accurate reading.
It did give a good smoke flavor though.
Most home ovens won't go below 200*F, but the Masterbuilt electric smokers can go as low as 100*F
So you smoke your brisket on whatever grill or smoker you prefer, wrap in butcher paper at 160*F or when it stalls, take it up to 205*F, then do a 10 hour hold in the Masterbuilt at 150*F
