master built 30" electric smokers

[thurman]

I just bought the 30" masterbuilt a couple weeks ago and have used it 3 times, very easy to use and everything has turned out great. I bought it online from cabelas it was in the bargain cave for $165 on sale from $200 and had it shipped to my house for an extra 20 bucks.

Picked one up from another member on here this week, gonna try it out. Lets see what sounds good smoked tenderlion, fish, porkchops, chicken, turkey, buckboard bacon, sausage, ham, chit just can't decide. Well what ever trips my switch when I go shopping will have to do.

Well chicken it is almost done,yum yum.Put a spicey bbq rub on them with lemon, smoked with hickory wood. It works great, no problems with heat or anything looks like I am buying this unit.

Thanks Jason, tasted awesome. Kinda funny though no smoke ring in the meat, used 4 tubes of chips cooked 235 for 3.5 hours fell off the bone fingers licken good. Any ideas why no smoke ring? Only thing I would change is not to use so much water in the pan.

I only tend to get the ring with Beef, maybe a little with pork, but not chicken. Not sure why. May be the skin has something to do with it.

Bringing this thread back since I just got a good deal (65$) on a masterbuilt electric smoker(with the glass door), it was like new, only being used twice. I’ve done some chicken, ribs, and 2 batches of jerky. Everything has turned out really good!! I’m still getting the timing down on when to insert more chips, seems to be about an hour and it needs more chips.  seems like a small wood trey..but I’m pretty happy with the results so far. Anyone else use it since the last reply 7 years ago?? Lol. Let’s hear your success or failure story’s. I’ll take pics next time I use it.

Haha been a while on this posting......
I've since upgraded to the 40 in. Still use it probably every couple weeks. Lots of success stories. No real failures, except a short in the wiring that I had to redo. shorted out in the middle of a long cook!!!!

I have the solid door and it works great for me

I have the glass door 30 in one like others said wish it was bigger with a bigger chip tray but there are solutions for that overall though this thing has been great Ive done chicken, ribs, a big brisket, and jerky so far and have had great results with it all.
