This 30 inch Masterbuilt electric smoker stands out as an easy, beginner friendly way to get steady, even smoked meat in a compact footprint. The capacity is solid for its size, with room for a small turkey or several racks of ribs, and the digital version is described as insulated enough to hold temperature well even in the 40s. The price is also framed as strong value versus recent history. Main caveats are the weak window, the smaller chip chute, and the need to keep it out of weather, since the control board and heating element can fail but replacement parts are available and repairs are simple.

How low does it go? Thinking it could be used as a holding oven for BBQ.
edit: 100-275 is listed on the masterbuilt website.

I had a version of this product for several years and loved it. So easy to use and the capacity is pretty large for a compact footprint. Easily fit a small turkey in there or several racks of ribs. The temperature is easy to control and keeps steady for a nice even cook. My downfall was not keeping it completely out of the weather, or a possible drunken mishap, cleaning it as the control board shorted out. I'm sure I could have possibly ordered a control board but I got a lot of life out of it and someone else took it on as a project. Now I have been missing my smoked meat and see this on sale....

You guys are killing me today! Ordered my first smoker, let's go!

FYI the reviews are pretty good overall with a few bad ones hear and there. The average price based on the last year is around $250 so this is a slick deal and the lowest price in the last year. Lastly if you have Amazon prime CC I did the slow shipping and got 7% cash back.

Thanks OP.

Seconding the recommendation for the 'cold smoke' Masterbuilt attachment even if you never plan to cold smoke, for the extra/extended smoke. I've been using this (technically an older version but they haven't changed much) smoker for 10 years or so, and just finally got the cold smoke this last weekend. The main smoker doesn't produce as much smoke as a traditional or pellet smoker, and your smoke production is kind of chained to heat, because the heating element for the unit is also what burns the wood chips. Meaning on a warm day when the smoker is up to temp, smoke productions falls off a bit. The attachment produces more than enough smoke, and lasts ~4-6 hours. Made the best pork and brats I've ever had this weekend, finally getting enough smoke for great flavor and a proper smoke ring.

Does it hold the temp really well and are the chips that easy to empty and reload? I have an older model but you have to constantly work the temp and adding wood means opening it up. I'd love to know from someone who actually uses it.
I have only used it to cold smoke marrow bones for my dog so far with the attachment cold smoker (separate purchase).

Yes, but I think it's out of stock at most places. https://www.amazon.com/Masterbuil...B079KGP5BX
yes, i bought for mine and that mainly what I use. Read the reviews. The standard mounting is garbage and securing it with some self tapping screws is the way to go.

I will definitely look into that, thank you
You are a genius. I just changed the heating element and it works good as new. Only $18. Now I'm stuck with a decision to return this one or not.
