Title: Hey, this is a great smoker despite some negative reviews!
Review: Hubby and I wanted a smoker for years. We donât cook for more than 3 people, so we didnât require a monster smoker. We wanted something easy to use, and portable. I had read many negative reviews, so I was skeptical when my husband ordered it anyway. All I can say is that this smoker is awesome! Weâve used it a lot, and itâs perfect. We donât use much propane. A few tips: get a cast iron skillet to put the water and wood chips in, and get one that will fit, not too big. We bought a gauge for the propane tank, get a digital thermometer, and watch a few YouTube videos on smoking. This wasnât a lot of money, and we love it. Btw, my husband is a retired firefighter, and heâs the one that bbqâs and smokes the food. He likes how the design is safe and easy to use.

Title: Great little smoker (30")
Review: Will hold a lot of meat. Haven't tried veggies. I bought a Dutch oven lid holder and a small cast iron skillet to put the wood chips in and facilitate ash cleanup. Barely fits under the water pan, but works great without presoaking the chips. I also brought some large aluminum pans (9x13, 30ea for ~ $20) to catch drippings (needs lots of water or aple cider mix so as not to burn and dry out). I place it on a shelf just above the water pan. I start out hot (300*) for a bit, then low and slow (200*) for several (or more) hours. Get yourself a pair of silicone smoker oven gloves -- they're very helpful.This is my second one. The first lasted > 7 years outside, mostly uncovered until the propane hose cracked and the fire was outside the smoker. Not much, but some rust is also why the new smoker. The other one also had wheels on the rear for easy moving. This one you get to carry. It's not that light!Masterbuilt is good quality. I recommend it. I'll cover this one every time it's not in use. ð³

Title: Smoker
Review: Temp control is off by approx. 20 degrees. We bought another thermometer to use with it. We also rigged a device to prevent flareups while smoking. Smoker has been doing a good job after these two revisions.

Title: Smoker modification
Review: I like this smoker, itâs very easy to use. The chip pan that comes with the smoke has big holes in it to let the heat into the smoker. The wood chips catch fire and burn up. I did an upgrade modification to fix the wood chip problem and bonus can use charcoal also. The picture is I put two metal rods across the burner heat shield and put a 10 cast iron frying pan on top. This allows you to use charcoal and still put your wood chips in the pan without them catching fire

Title: Good for the price
Review: First time smoker buyers. We love it. It was easy to put togetherâ¦.my 11 year old actually did it. We had to play around with the gas and air flow to get the temp where we wanted it but after we figured it out it was perfect. Smoked a 12.5 pound brisket for about 13 hours and it fell apart.

Title: Great Smoker
Review: Works great. Take yuh our time putting it together and you will have a wonderful product at a great price. It is a little smaller then the simular product in the department stores. But... works the same. I use aluminum foil in catch pan and water pan and chip tray just to keep clean and easy cleanup as well. Easy to use.

Title: False Advertising (Measurements WAY OFF)
Review: Very disappointed. Trying to replace my Smoke Hollow vertical smoker that I've loved for the last several years. Found out Masterbuilt bought Smoke Hollow so thought this would be the next best thing. Product says 30in smoker. Could not find anything 30" in the description, but did find measurements in two different places including the images of 20x20x43. While it isn't 30", 20 inches wide and deep would be fine for what I needed and about the size of the one I'm replacing so I ordered it. I should have known better just by the description and the measurements being different. Got the smoker today and its even smaller than what it shows in the description!! You can see from the pictures that it is only 15.5 wide and only 14.5 deep. You can't even fit a full rack of ribs in it!! I could not even find any measurement on the entire thing that was 30" or 20" inches. I don't know if it is Masterbuilt or Amazon that is to blame here, but if you are looking for something that will smoke full racks of ribs, even a small brisket or whole turkey over 9lbs, DO NOT BUY THIS SMOKER! I will be promptly returning.

Title: Must Test
Review: i like it, heats up fast and a great size BUT you need to run it to check the temps. the door thermometer does NOT jive with my oven meter. further, at the lowest setting it cooks at 250f, if you want to slow cook less than that, do NOT buy this. i've cooked 'Cerakote' and a turkey, all came out great.
