For as simple as this thing is, it’s pretty useful for not much fuss.
It is definitely easy to use! Thanks for watching and if not already, please subscribe to my channel and like the video. Happy Smokin 👍🏻
Thank you!!!!!! Smoking my first pork today !!! 🎉 I was so confused until watching your video!
You’re welcome & thanks for watching Whitney! Good luck on your first smoke today! If not already, please subscribe to my channel & like the video…Happy Smokin 👍🏻
How did it come out?
Just bought a used one. Only been used twice. This video is definitely giving me basic info to get started. I subscribed to your channel. Thank you👍
Thanks for watching and subscribing Shon! Glad the video is helping you out…Happy Smokin!
Very informative, thank you. 👍
Thanks George & thanks for watching! If not already, please subscribe to my channel & like the video…Happy Smokin 👍🏻!
Thank you some much for the great presentation Sir you have answered all my questions
Awesome & thank you for watching 👍🏻!!
Very good explanation of the operation. I feel confident to smoke ribs
Thank you Brother & thanks for watching! Let me know if I can help with those ribs 👍🏻
I started with a Bradley with my dad for about 10 years then bought a MB 30 for about 3. Made some great food with those units and then moved up to more advanced stuff. If I had an condo or apartment where charcoal or pellet smokers were not allowed, I'd be just as comfortable with an electric smoker to get my smoke fix. Great info, thanks!
I agree Brother! Thanks for watching 👍🏻!
Fantastic video.
Muchos gracias
Thanks Justin and thanks for watching! Would love to have you as a subscriber 👍🏻!
You mentioned a water tray in the smoker when and why would you use it. Do you add water to it? Just got my first smoker today and trying to learn all the basics
Thanks for watching John and welcome to the word of smoking BBQ! You’re going to love it! Yes you add water to the water pan and I usually use it when doing longer smokes like brisket or pork butts. It just helps to keep the meat’s moisture level up during the long cooking process. If not already please subscribe to my channel and like the video. Happy Smokin 👍🏻
Great video, very informative!
Thanks Steve and thanks for watching! If not already please subscribe to my channel and like the video. Happy Smokin!
Thank you for your video. I'm actually contemplating buying a MB Electric Smoker specifically to hold my briskets for 8 to 10 hrs after cooking them on my offset smoker.
Hy Spence! Thanks for stopping by and watching! I wouldn’t hesitate purchasing one, this is my second and I love it for many reasons, and being able to have long hold times above 140* IT after smoking on my barrel or offset is one of the main ones not to mention that it will smoke up some very tasty BBQ too! I’ve got a video coming out tomorrow afternoon highlighting a smoker attachment for the MB that will allow for up to 6 hours of smoke without adding anymore chips, you may want to check that out.

Why don’t you just cook it in the masterbuilt smoker they work great ❤❤❤❤
@@eutimiochavez415 Im one of those who likes a noticeable smoke flavor cooked into my briskets - so I opt to use a stick burner for the cook. But that’s just my preference and I understand everybody has different tastes. Have a great weekend my friend!!
This was helpful 🤙🏾

Great tips for first time users. Thanks!

Great video thatnks for sharing. Do you have to load the chips to get it up to temp? And how much water do you put in the pan?
Thanks for watching Kalif! No, the wood chips do not serve as a heat source but rather only as a smoke source. 👍🏻
I need an expert opinion. I have a 40" MB smoker. I have smoked a few turkeys with injectibles and they turned out juicy good. My question is in your opinion if I get a turkey stand that I can smoke the turkey in the upright position will that dry it out because of the juices running out the bottom?
Thanks for stopping by and watching Dave! That’s a great question and I believe the answer to be no. Turkey and chicken cook very similar and I smoke chickens in the upright position all of the time and they are very juicy.

Hey thanks for sharing this... I am having a learning curve because I have always used a traditional offset but I am looking to just sit back and enjoy a drink while I am smoking instead of babysitting it 🤣. I am having an issue trusting the built in temp reading. Did you have the same issue? I see you have some external thermometers. Any recommendations?
Thanks for watching Jennykaradin! As you can see from reviewing my channel I use all types of smokers including an offset so I fully understand your delima. I am assuming you are referring to the ambient temp reading, correct? I didn’t have this issue but I agree that with a stick burner you are driving the fire verses it being on automatic pilot in the electric smoker, which is a bit of a game changer. I have always trusted the ambient temp on my Masterbuilt Electric Smoker & it hasn’t failed me yet. I use the same cooking times and temps as I do with my offset but I sometimes have to adjust, but that’s where knowing the fundamentals of bbq kicks in so I recommend to trust the temp but do all of the normal steps as the Pitmaster to assure it is done to expectation; i.e. probe tender on a brisket or passing the toothpick test on ribs etc. Does that make sense? I use the Inkbird thermometer for internal temp readings of the meat I’m smoking & not for the ambient temperature of the electric smoker.

I really appreciate this and it helps a lot! Thanks again for making this video!
Awesome, will do, and thank you for watching! 👍🏻
Where do you put the grease drip pan. I can't figure it out. I just got mine and put it together today.
Hi Becca, thanks for stopping by and watching! It goes on the back of the smoker at the bottom. You will see a tube that the grease comes out of and the pan will hook on to that area. Let me know if that works. If not already, please subscribe to my channel and hit that like button 👍🏻
So, after setting the temperature and time, can you later adjusted the temperature?
Thanks for watching srpimful! Yes you can. If not already please subscribe to my channel and like the video…Happy Smokin 👍🏻
I have one of these and the electronic timer/temp control is a pain in the butt. It keeps kicking out and I have to reset it all the time. I have to babysit the unit for the entire time that I am smoking. I was thinking of by-passing the eletronic unit and replacing it with a manual control dimmer, or just getting a Big Chiel smoker, much simpler to operate.
I hate to hear that! I don’t represent Masterbuilt in any way but I have had two of these units and never had any problems.
Did you use any water in the water pan? And does the “ash” tray need emptied during a cook, if it’s a long one like for pork butt?
Hey Heath, thanks for stopping by and watching! I typically do use water or apple juice in the water pan and I have never had to empty the ash tray during any of my long cooks; I’ve had 4 10lb butts in there at once and never had to empty or had any problems. Thanks again for stopping by and if not already please subscribe to my channel and hit that like button. Hope to see ya again soon 👍🏻
@BakersBBQ you put 4 10 pounds butts in there? My goodness! Hiw long did that take? Did you have to rotate them at all? That is a lot of meat for a smallish smoker, and airflow is important! LMK!
It handled it just fine and was done it 10 hours! Just make sure you leave a little space between them for good air flow. Also, I recommend that you leave the water pan empty to catch the drippings and make sure your grease drain is cleaned out. Happy Smokin!
I’m cooking pork belly ends can I put it on a cookie sheet or aluminum foil?
You can try that but I prefer to put mine up on a cookie rack to get full air circulation around the meat. Once they are ready to be caramelized in sauce you could then put them on a cookie sheet or possibly in aluminum foil. Thanks for watching!
Before you start to smoke do you need to add water to the water tray or is it optional?
It’s optional but I find it best to add water. I add it at the beginning of the cooking process. Thanks for watching 👍🏻!
Great video...having to add chips every 30-40 minutes seems like a bit of a hassle particularly for long cooks or straight impossible if I have to go to work.
How often do you have to add chips to an electric pellet smoker?
Hey Macneto, thanks for stopping by and watching! You don’t add wood chips to a pellet smoker as the pellets are its fuel/smoke source & are fed from the hopper, but on the electric smoker your only need to add wood chips the 1st 2-3 hours depending on what you’re smoking. For example; smoking a pork butt you could stop adding chips after about 3 hours but if you’re doing something smaller like burgers or dogs you may only add chips once so as to not over smoke the meat. The electric smoker is simple and there are no moving parts unlike a pellet smoker. Both are great choices based on each person’s preference. Thanks again for watching 👍🏻
This is the comment I was looking for. Smoking my first brisket today! 🤞🏻
@@christinemanning9816 thanks for watching & good luck on your 1st brisket! I’ll soon be doing some videos on a new cold smoker that attaches to the Masterbuilt Electric Smoker and will give you up to 6 hours of continuous smoke without adding wood chips. If not already, please subscribe to my channel and like the video…Happy Smokin 👍🏻
I saw another video where they added a bowl of water, have you done the same?
You don’t need to in this smoker because it already has a built in water pan. Thanks for watching Robert!
Do you have to empty the ash pan then every 30 to 45m at the bottom?
Thanks for watching Scott! No you do not…don’t have to empty it at all until your next cook.
I saw another video that someone used aluminum foil to cover the water pan and the grease pan and just poke the hole. Is this ok? For easier clean
Thanks for watching! I think it would be ok 👍🏻
@BakersBBQ Sweet! Thank you! Just cleaned her up today with apple cider vinegar and water and tomorrow we are smoking a pork butt. She's currently seasoning with vegetable oil that's the only oil we had at home. This will be our third time using our smoker
@@bebezinha4ever Awesome! Let me know how that pork butt turns out…Happy Smokin 👍🏻!
Can you use pellets in the Masterbuilt if so how much ?
Thanks for stopping by and watching, Chuck! I have never tried using pellets but I don’t see why you couldn’t however I would refer you to the operators manual for the final say. I will add that you get such good smoke out of wood chips that I don’t see the advantage of using pellets.
Can you use wired probes???
Yes you can 👍🏻
taf gaf
Do you want to soak the wood chips or are they OK dry?
Thanks for watching Russ! I don’t soak mine.
@@BakersBBQ Yup, I actually saw that after I asked the question - Thanks!!
@rs8034a you’re welcome 👍🏻
How often do you add water
Thanks for watching Isiah! I usually only add water once at the beginning and it last the entire cook. If not already please subscribe to my channel and like the video. Happy Smokin 👍🏻
How would you rate the Masterbuilt? Worth it for entry level?
Hi PD, thanks tor stopping by and watching! This is the 2nd Masterbuilt Electric Smoker that I have owned and both have been wonderful! This smoker would be a great option for a beginner and then as you advance you can branch out into different cookers to gain a better understanding of fire management; i.e. barrel smokers, offset stick burners etc. the link for this Masterbuilt smoker is in the video description down below. Please let me know if I can help 👍🏻. I have tons of videos utilizing different smokers so if not already please subscribe to my channel and hit that like button.

Happy Smokin!
@@BakersBBQ Thank you I think I will order one, great video
@@PD-yd3fr you’re welcome and thanks again for watching 👍🏻!
how much water you are supposed to pour?
2-3 cups is good or you can fill it to the fill line in the water pan. Thanks for watching 👍🏻!
Do you have to flip the meat on the smoker?
No you don’t have to. Thanks for watching!
So do not use pellets with this?
I wouldn’t recommend it. Pellets tend to get too hot and could cause damage to the smoker or worse an internal fire in the smoker. Happy Smokin!
why do you put water in the smoker ? l never need it with my pellet "TRAEGER GRILL"
You don’t have to use water but it does allow you to go longer without spritzing which is an advantage with a box smoker because you lose a lot of heat each time you open it up. Thanks for watching 👍🏻!
Has anyone tried wood pellets?
Thanks for watching! I haven’t tried wood pellets but I am planning on exploring that option.
What’s the lowest temperature
Thanks for watching Jeremy! It will go down to 100*. If not already, please subscribe to my channel and like the video!
Thank you. How is it holding up this far? I am looking at this for low temp sausage smoking/ making. My pellet grill doesn’t get low enough and may not want to try and maintain very low temps on my offset.
@@jeremyh8187 you’re welcome! It’s working great & this is the second one I have had over the years. You may want to consider also getting the “Cold Slow Smoker Attachment” so you can get smoke at very low temps or for long cooks like butts or brisket you can avoid constantly adding wood chips. Here’s a product profile I did on it plus there are other videos with it on my channel ua-cam.com/video/6leVoKk94xg/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Thanks & Happy Smokin 👍🏻
Thanks! Liked and subscribed!
@@jeremyh8187 thanks Brother and welcome to my channel 👍🏻👊🏻!
No the difference is that pellets have chemicals and glue and chips do not.
