Pros: Absolutely the most cooker for the money I've seen.

Cons: Real low temps might not light the chips!

The Bottom Line: Excellent product, refreshing in these days, and the digital controller makes walking away a breeze.

from Shopping.com

Pros: Easy to use digital control that controls very close to the temperature setting.

Cons: Had I purchased this smoker without the improvements I would not have been satisfied.

from Shopping.com

Pros: Great low price. Easy to use and clean.

from Shopping.com Cons; My heating element stopped after 2~3 years of use. Masterbuilt wanted $80 plus shipping for a new "body" were I would have to move my rack, door, electronics over. After nearly 3 years of use, I was not ready to move those old items into a new box at nearly 1/2 the cost of a new unit. from Amazon.com I researched smokers for 2 weeks and narrowed it down to electric smokers. I have never smoked before,and when I picked up my Masterbuilt smoker from Walmart ( free shipping to local Walmart) I followed the super easy instructions,and did the 3 hr break in... I then smoked some pork ribs for 6 hrs ( 3 hrs, and wrap in tinfoil with some water in side for 3 hrs)they fall of the bone. from Amazon.com After getting tired of a charcoal smoker, and deciding against a propane smoker due to the amount of gas it would eat up every time we wanted to use it, we started looking around at electric ones. The biggest complaint seemed to be getting them to heat up properly and maintain the temperature. However, if you read the descriptions of most of the reasonably priced models, you will notice they are NOT INSULATED! from Amazon.com are common. A couple of weeks ago I had a problem with my heating system. This smoker is almost 2 years old and well beyond warranty, my thinking was to contact Masterbuilt and see if they would give me a good price on the parts I need for the repair. Well as it turned out Masterbuilt is replacing my smoker with a new one. from Amazon.com I built a wheeled platform for my masterbuilt smoker. Cost about fifteen bucks to build, little over an hour to put it together. from Amazon.com The Masterbuilt smoker is a wonderful product for the price. Whether you're new to smoking, or an experienced smoker who wants a less hands on, labor intensive smoke, this is simply the best you can get for the $$. from Amazon.com I have never used a smoker before however have worked with a guy who is a pro at smoking meat. I was envious so I bought a smoker so I could make my own great food! from Amazon.com
