I was excited to get my Smoker. First use was to burn off the chems and new from inside the Smoker.I smoked a 15 pound, yep, 15 lb brisket, to perfection.This has been one of my best purchases. The legs are SOLID, and no wobble and are very nice to lift the Smoker off the ground.I highly recommend this Smoker.*******UPDATED DETAILS********THE SMOKER IS A NICE SMOKER THAT DOES THE JOB.HOWEVER THE INSULATION IS NOT VERY GOOD. WHEN THE OUTSIDE IS AS HOT AS THE INSIDE, IT IS CLEAR THE INSULATION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.THE CONTROLLER ON THE TOP OF SMOKER IS NOT VISIBLE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. I LITERALLY HAD TO GET A BLACK TOWEL TO PUT OVER IT TO SEE THE NUMBERS. THIS COULD EASILY BE FIXED BY THE MFG.IT IS AN OUTSIDE SMOKER, YET THE MANUAL CLEARLY SAYS TO NOT LET IT GET WET. WELL, IF IT IS AN OUTSIDE SMOKER, IT SHOULD BE WEATHER PROOF, ESPECIALLY RAIN PROOF.DON'S GET ME WRONG, IT IS A GOOD SMOKER, BUT THESE ITEMS SERIOUSLY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MFG.I SENT A MSG TO THE MFG ABOUT AN ISSUE, IT TOOK THEM 15 DAYS TO REPLY TO ME. NOT EVEY REMOTELY ACCEPTABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Since it arrived, in late May. I've managed to smoke 3 or 4 briskets. But only after switching to using pellets in stead of wood chips. Pellets burn just hot enough to add to the temperature. With wood chips, and the smoker set to 275 degrees (the maximum this can be set to), it would struggle to get to a temperature above 200. With 3 different ambient temperature probes, all of which were within a few degrees of each other... so I trust them more than the Masterbuilt builtin one. Once did the forbidden thing and tried wood pellets from a pellet smoker, in this one, the temperature managed to get to just above 230 degrees, set at 275. That's JUST barely above normal low and slow temperature of 225 degrees.Two of the briskets turned out very good, the other two? I couldn't get the smoker hot enough to get past the stall point at around 160 degrees fast enough, on wrapped in foil at the stall, the other in butcher paper at the stall. They both turned out extemely dry even spritzing every 15 minutes with apple cider vinegar and water. The temperature control is NON EXISTENT. The two that turned out good, were because I wrapped early, at 140 degrees and bypassed the stall at 160 to 170 altogether. BUT... that meant only around 3 hours of smoke infusion, reducing the already questionable smoke flavor even more. I'm smoking my final brisket on this smoker. Which I don't have one single prayer for. It stalled at 172 degrees, already wrapped, and stayed there for the past hour and half, finally just now rising to 174 degrees. The smoker is set at 275 degrees... and the top vent is closed down all I can close it to, and the ambient temp is only 198 degrees.I can already guarantee it's dry as a bone and tough as nails, but I'll pull the brisket at 175, to try to salvage it. I just can't anymore after this. Briskets cost too much to take the chance on having it ruined by shoddy workmanship.I have ordered a pellet smoker from one of the other brands of vertical smokers. and a smoke tube for pellets to add smoke flavor since pellet smokers are notorious for not producing as much.I can't, in good conscience, recommend this smoker. Absolutely not. And this is the second Masterbuilt I've had. The first one was ok, but it only had that electric skillet temperature dial on the side, and not removable wood chip replacement tube. So you had to open the door, take out the wood chip tray, fill it, and then open the door again to put it back in, losing every bit of heat.sa

I really like this smoker. I have been a Weber Smokey Mountain user for decades, and still consider it one of the best smokers out there. Recently we have been making some sausage and snack sticks that require a couple hours of temperatures around 140, then get ramped up every hour. That is a real chore with a charcoal smoker. I owned a Masterbuilt 30" years ago and enjoyed using it. One of the things that really appeals to me about this smoker is parts are readily available. There are some great meat smoking forums with great support for these smokers as well. I anticipate being able to use, and probably upgrade, this smoker for many years. The one area where it seems to fall a bit short, though it may not be enough to make a huge practical difference, is temperature control. I used a remote temp probe to monitor the temperature in the smoker, and it would vary over 10 degrees frequently over a couple hours. There are quite a few folks that add an external PID to control the heating element that makes this unit much more accurate with regard to temperature. A lot of foum posts say the addition of a PID makes this smoker compatible with smokers costing much more. I also wanted to be able to cold smoke some cheese, so I purchased one of the Masterbuilt cold smoker attachments to use with this smoker. Unfortunately it burned up during the first use and I'm waiting for a warranty resolution on that.

Heat panel has wiring is loose, wiggle the the conection to make stay heating. Painful explaining to a bot, there is no person to speak to at this company, long emails back and forth with still no resolve. Needs a new control panel. Hopefully this will be resolved within the return time!
