Masterbuilt MB20071117 Digital Electric Smoker

I'm really happy about this purchase. I was using a homemade 55 gal drum smoker I made up until this purchase. I can't lie it is refreshing to have something I can set and walk away from. Works very well, I've smoked pork belly, venison, chicken and all kinds of things. I haven't had any issues. Temp holds very well and the smaller the wood chips the better the smoke. I gave it 4 starts just because it is hard to clean under the hood where you hold the wood chips and a bit tedious to clean inside. I ended up just buying a small portable pressure washer and have had no issues. I hear people complaining about the chipped paint and this has happened to me as well. But truly, who gives a damn about that, I need it to smoke good food, not look pretty while it's doing it. It's super light and not bulky so you can move anywhere you want. Even at full smoke it doesn't smoke up the entire place. I've even had it in the closed front porch area on rainy days and it's fine. It took me a bit to get over the eletric usage of this product as I live off grid and like things that don't need it. But as a busy person that doesn't have the time to tend the fire and smoke consistently this was a life saver. I literally can set it and walk away and not check it for hours before needing to change the chips.

It's really good item, just what we wanted and expected, to be able to use it as we want we still need to learn more about the smoked food, but the product is really good and easy if use and does the job very well, would definitely recommend, a lot of space for products, just as described by the seller,easy to assembly, light weight for transportation or move the place if needed. Heat is good, smell is perfect depends on pellets used,smoke locked in.

Received in good condition and yet to try it out.

very nice smoker. works well and the food comes out amazing. great people to work with, thank you for a well built item.

Maybe I had a relatively low expectation for the smoker as I was about to smoke some Chinese sausages in the winter and salmon every fall. I don't want to break the bank for just a few occasions. This smoker met and even exceeded my expectation in many ways. Admitted I just want something to generate smoke in a closed chamber. And it did the job for me, also keep the temperature thanks to its decent insulation. It didn't generate heavy smoke but enough to infuse the flavour to my meat. I did find it's hard to keep smoking going when in low temperatures (100-160F). But I did a simple mod and solve the problem. The aluminum container housing the wood chips is supposed to be put on a bracket, which has a few centimeters distance to the heating elements. I just removed this bracket and put the container directly on the heating elements and smokes can be generated in low temp. So far I've had 3 sessions of smoking, and it's fun for me to use. I intend to use more than I was planning for in the near future.

We use this smoker regularly for smoking salmon as well as smoking herbs such as jalapeños and paprika. We get consistent results and for a couple years now. Easy to use and clean. Very happy with this product.
