Masterbuilt 30 Inch Digital Electric Smoker

Masterbuilt’s 30″ Digital Electric Smokehouse is loaded with bells and whistles. This thermostatically controlled BBQ smoker allows you to set cooking temp from 100 ° to 275° and monitor internal meat temp with an integrated probe, and it has internal lights. All functions can be controlled and monitored with an included RF remote. It also has a side door for replenishing wood without disturbing the smokebox.

They make several variations on this model, some don’t have windows in the door, some have controllers mounted on the top in the back and some are 40″. This one has an 800 watt heating element and a handle on the back lets you tilt the unit and move it on two rear wheels.

We haven’t been big fans of Masterbuilt. They always aimed to cut costs and it shows in the lightweight construction of many models. Construction on this one looks good for the price, and most owners seem happy with their purchase. Still, the 90 day warranty is weak.
