What customers say
This Masterbuilt smoker is a solid choice for beginners seeking ease of use and a generous capacity for family meals. Its push button ignition and simple propane operation significantly lower the learning curve compared to traditional smokers. Users often achieve good results once familiar with its operation. However, consistent temperature control is a frequent concern, with many reporting fluctuations that require constant monitoring. The included thermometer is often inaccurate, necessitating external probes. Furthermore, some feedback points to build quality issues, including thin metal and door seal leaks, suggesting durability may be limited. Overall, it offers good value as a reliable entry point into smoking before considering premium upgrades.
