Masterbuilt 40 inch Digital Electric Smoker with Window and Legs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my Masterbuilt Smoker! Smoking wonderful meat - beef, pork, chicken - couldn't be easier. I always receive compliments on the food I make in this smoker. You always hear that the problem with smoking meat is temperature regulation. Not a problem with this smoker. I have purchased three of these and given them as gifts to family also.

I bought this smoker about a month ago and I’ve used it 4 times. It works great. I’ve never smoked anything before so it was very nice not having to tend to a fire to keep a constant heat. The meat probe is a great feature and so is the Bluetooth capability. I had heard some smokers come with temperature gauges that are not totally accurate but I verified the meat probe with 2 different thermometers made by different companies and they all read within two degrees of each other. The light is also a great feature but it should be noted that it is located outside the door seal of the smoker so it only illuminates the inside when you have the door open. This may sound silly but if you think about it, if it was inside the smoker it would get covered in grease and smoke stains anyway and it wouldn’t work. My only complaints about the smoker are the following: the wood tray is very small. I find you really need to watch the smoke output and add new chips every 20-40 minutes depending on what brand chips you are using and how large they are. Also the instructions/owner’s manual is not very good. It’s great for the assembly portion but it doesn’t tell you how to pair it to Bluetooth, it simply says “follow the directions in the app” and it doesn’t give you instructions on how to really use the smoker in terms of letting it get to temperature and then making sure you have water in the pan and how open the vent on top should be etc. it’s worth mentioning the instructions in the app did not work to pair my smoker to Bluetooth. I had to look at a forum online that said some older models used a different pairing method and that one worked.

Yo, if your into smoking, this is the Ticket! I upgraded from the 30" without the stand or wheels & it is a must as you get older & harder to bend all the way to the ground. With the 40" on wheels & stand, Light, Blue Tooth & Meat Probe, it upped my game to a Pro! I also added the Side Smoker, which does Cheese & Poppers out of this world! I loved this so much, I ordered a 2nd one for my Son & a 3rd one for a co-worker! They call it MASTERBUILT for a Good Reason!

I now have two 40 inch Master Built smokers for twice the amount of Kielbasa and Smoke sticks. The first one I bought about 3 years ago and have no problems with it. I bought another to double amount of products that I make. Use whatever natural wood you want (free range organic from local woods) and not the pellets or pucks from who knows where.

I simply Love Everything about this Smoker. Having a little trouble loosing Bluetooth feature at less than fifteen feet away. Heats up Quick and Temp is right on with my instant read probe. First Pork Butt yesterday in 20 degree weather with 20-30 mpg wind. Worked Great with no temp drop. This is my second Masterbuilt Smoker. Had a 30 inch for 10 years. Smoked so many things from Hot Dogs to Turkeys. I finally wore it out. If this Smoker gives me the Service and I think it will I'll be a Happy Smoke Master. Very Well Made and Great controls. Love it so far.

We had quite a few bumps in the road before I finally received the 30 in digital electric smoker I paid for. But I have to say; it is giving me a whole different direction I can work with on Bar-B-Que. So far, I have smoked pork tenderloin, pork shoulder, and the ding dong daddy; beef rib tips plate. Each time I use it, I enjoy it more.

I got this smoker for my husband for Christmas. You might say it was really for the whole family. I can’t say enough about how easy this is to use. Neither of us has ever used a smoker but our son is in college in the south and we got exposed to the taste. This is literally foolproof and it runs on an app from your phone. We used it for the first time the day after Christmas and it was freezing outside. We didn’t have to leave the house until the probe in the meet told us when it was done!! FROM MY PHONE. Our first attempt was Ribs Chicken thighs for nachos Mac and cheese with bacon (recipe on their site) Cod Chicken wings Blackberry cobbler Everything was cooked to perfection. The Mac and cheese was to die for. I have to admit that I didn’t love the blackberry cobbler but others did. I guess it’s a matter of taste. The smoker comes with a cover which got lost in the mail and customer service quickly shipped out another one. I am not sure if we will grill again and this device is 1/2 the price of a grill. I think everyone at our party (Clemson vs Ohio game) will buy one. This was the beat Christmas gift ever. Thanks

Being a smoker fan, this is my first electric. Overall, I am very pleased. Temperature control very good, I like the app. Temperature probe is good, even though I do use additional probes. Slide out racks very good and easy to clean, great quality. Good and nicely designed water pan. Only one negative and that is the smoker capacity, just doesn’t provide enough smoke time for longer smokes. Needs to be refilled every 30 minutes which defeats the ability to walk away and let the smoker smoke. To remedy, I purchased the A-MAZ-N 5x8 smoker tray which has worked out perfectly for smokes over an hour. An hour or less I do use the built in smoker which does provide very good smoke results. Even with the smoke issue for me personally, I will give this a rating given new month of use.

I finally got a smoker after asking for it for a full year I have smoked just about everything but fish and let’s just say that this smoker has added tremendous flavor to all of my foods. My wife states “ I would have gotten a smoker a long time ago If I knew you would cook so much”. I truly enjoy the new hobby!

Has worked great so far and is pretty easy to use. I have smoked a few pork shoulders in it and got really good results. I cant wait to smoke something else! The cord to plug it in is a little short, which sucks. But other than that I love it. I have the attached cold smoker as well amd it attached so easily!
