The Masterbuilt digital electric smoker is a convenient and effective way to smoke meat and vegetables. Since it's an electric smoker, electricity maintains a consistent temperature without the need to add charcoal. Wood chips are added and replenished as needed, using the wood chip loader on the side of the Masterbuilt electric smoker. It's a brilliant design and I've smoked many excellent meals on it so far! It also contains a water pan that water, juice, etc. can be added to for moisture control and aromatics. #Masterbuilt #MasterbuiltSmoker #ElectricSmoker

I actually wet myself laughing. At 8.36, "I stuck one probe in my butt" Childish I know, but made me giggle.
ROFL
me too! The video was super helpful and I just bought the smoker based on his review.
all of the carefully placed innuendos❤❤❤❤❤
"I smoked my butt right here in the mountains, on my own deck" I loved that comment bro, excellent review! Thx I picked this up on Amazon after your review...peaccccce!
Thank you so much for the kind feedback and also for shopping my link :). Subscribe and stay tuned for hundreds more electric smoker videos here soon! #ChefIrixGuy
Well I just made the decision to pick one of these up. Well done sir, I've been using a Little Chief smoker with an insulator bag that my father gifted to me in 2004(he had it since 1985). It's finally started to rust out and since I have mastered the art of simplicity and heartache with the Little Chief, this one seems just as simple with a few more conveniences that would make my life a hell of a lot easier. Thank you!
Awesome and please check the link within this video’s description when you order one. Thanks in advance!
Great video. My smoker came in yesterday. Can’t wait to use it!
That’s exciting! Thanks for supporting my channel and be sure to check out the accessories linked within this video’s description too, if you haven’t already.
I have the exact same smoker, and I love it. You showed me a couple of thing's I did not know about it aswell, awesome video my man. Cheer's, and keep smoking
What’s your favorite thing to smoke in it! Cheers to you too and keep on smoking! #ChefIrixGuy
Is it just me or do all yall want to hang out with this guy? Drinking beer, soaking in that view and eating good BBQ!!!
Eat, drink and be merry!
I got the smoker, cover and wheeled stand for $245. Its simple to use, works great and love the smokey tastes..happy barbecuing!!!
Great video. Love the view. I am getting ready to order this bad boy!

Just unboxed mine, making beef jerky first thing. Nice to hear your review.
I’m going to have to try beef jerky in mine too. I haven’t done that yet!
Iv had one for 7 or 8 years love it. Couple little tricks that I do. One wrap water tray, and the drip catch can in aluminum foil. Will not have to clean. Every thing else he said Wright on time. 👍
EXCELLENT tip about the drip catch! That’ll make my dishwasher happy. Thanks for sharing!
My in-laws bought me this smoker a couple years ago with the wheeled legs. I just love it!! Extremely easy to operate and the outcome is always great. I’ve watched many videos of various smokers and for what I use it I am very pleased. Just wish I had more time to smoke. I usually smoke overnight and don’t worry about temp or anything else. Wake up in morning and meat is close to being finished.
It’s the best electric smoker on the market today without a doubt! Like you said, I smoke with it overnight too. I only smoke pork butts when I have two days off work. I keep the hickory replenished until I go to bed on day one, sleep and then start adding hickory again the next day until
the butt hits 201 degrees internal temperature and I remove it from the smoker. It always comes out perfect, since this regular always maintains a consistent temperature.
That’s a nice view you have there! I’m looking into getting an electric smoker. Thanks for the info. 👍
Thank you and they're great! Be sure to shop the link within my video's description if you do! Thanks in advance!
Great review, made me change my mind and picked this over a Cuisinart smoker.
Thanks! Be sure to check out the cover and other accessories too, if you haven’t already. I have everything linked within this video’s description.
Came for the review, stayed for the view. Holy moly that is a sweet view, must be rough when your smoking lol. Great review, looking forward to getting mine tomorrow.
That is awesome! This is the best electric smoker that I’ve ever owned and I store it outside covered while not in use.
Just got one for Christmas. Nice review.
Awesome! I hope that you enjoy your electric smoker as much as I enjoy mine!

Good review and on point review. I have the one with the glass; like you said I just set mine go inside relax, watch Tv or shoot some pool and take a nap. Come back at dinner and meat is done. I use a longer wood chip tray and put a couple of charcoal briquettes along with the wood.
Thank you! Electric smokers are tough to beat because the temperature remains consistent throughout the smoke.
That’s a nice view! May I ask where there’s at?
Excellent review!

Watching this review to consider which smoker to give my husband for Christmas. By the way, thank you for the information. Great view coming from a Southern girl.
Thanks so much! This one is my favorite so far and I linked it and the cover within this video’s description.
Best video ever! Thank you
I deeply appreciate that! Please feel free to subscribe to my channel and check out all of my other Masterbuilt Electric Smoker videos too.
Been looking at this exact model here in Australia, think I might go and get one today...
I’m still loving mine! It works great and I store it outside with a cover on it while not in use.
I have had the 30 for many years. Control panel died, so I am buying another master built.. hands down a great smoker🔥
Now that is quality control! Talk about EXCELLENT return on investment!
I’ve had this unit for about seven years and I am now upgrading to the 40 inch. The 30 inch works great and have smoked some of the best meats I’ve ever eaten but just need some thing a slightly bit larger. Love the video and enjoy your time with the unsmoked. Can’t go wrong with either size.
You must smoke even more than I do. That’s awesome! I’ve smoked with everything from old oil barrels sawed in half to this. An electric smoker is the best way to smoke #1 Consistent temperature #2 No charcoal required #3 Minimal amount of wood chips required to achieve the same smoky flavor
Is it worth the upgrade?
@@josepheagan5294 only for size. Features and operation is all the same. Instead of cutting a rack of ribs in half to fit a shelf I can lay two full racks per shelf.
Thank you, I will get this model and not the window vision.
Please check the link within this video’s description when you do. Thank you!
Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching and please subscribe and check out all of my other electric smoking videos too! #ChefIrixGuy #ElectricSmoker
I have the same one. It's great. Only thing I would like too change is the ash tray. Be nice if you could take it out without opening the door. Kinda like the same system as the chip feeder.
Honestly though I've never had to dump the ash tray during a smoke and that includes 24-hour ish Boston Butt smokes. It would be neat to have a dedicates smoker box that sits beside it though and pipes in. Masterbuilt used to make something like that for smoking cheese but was it discontinued?
Good job 👏🏼 Brother I love mine as well
What's your favorite thing to smoke in your Masterbuilt? Thank you! #MasterBuilt
Thanks for the review! Answered all the questions I had. What is the largest size of brisket that can be smoked in this?
Awesome, and please check the link within this video's description if you buy one. Thanks in advance. I have the cover linked there also. Since there are multiple racks, you could easily smoke more than one briskets. The briskets that I normally smoke in it are 16 pounds or so. Subscribe and check out my Masterbuilt Electric Smoker video playlist because I showcase various smokes within that playlist. If you have any questions, please ask and I'll try to whip up a video reponse!
I had a masterbuilt with a window for a year or so. What a pain. I'm buying this model next week. Window looks cool for about an hour. Then you can't see through it anyway haha. Low and slow and leave it alone. 😊
So true about the window in a smoker =). If you buy one next week, please feel free to shop my links within this video's description =). That helps my channel out a lot!
I love mine, but be aware they are susceptible to moisture condensation in control panel. It will disable your controls until you take it apart and dry it. High humidity and 35-40 outside air temp causes the most. Just a heads up if it happens. 🙂
Thanks for the tip. I keep mine tightly covered when not in use….no problems so far.
This is interesting to know being a UK BBQ smoker, I just got one of these. And we very rarely ever get high humidity so this master-built 140B seems perfect for me. The only question i do have is whether it is hard to achieve that smoke ring in comparison to let's say a weber smokey mountain?
Mine was left outside all winter with just a garbage over it and it still works fine.I live in Ontario canada.it gets nasty here lol
@@Nike427 the average uk humidity levels are between 87 and 90 , mine only lasted 13 months, stored in a large shed and also used in the shed (Scotland) as others have said on here my controller died, one minute it's ok the next no power ! dont expect it to last long here in the uk, heating and cooling cycles combined with our humidity destroys smokers , i have gone back to a ceramic charcoal smoker for the big cooks and a ninja smokefire oven for convenience and the smaller stuff (it has a 3 year warranty from lakeland so not too concerned now)
@@andrewadam9544 Noticed the unit doing some silly things now in this wintertime. And I have taken it off and dried it out a few times before. See how it goes might look to have some wrapped around it as well as the cover to keep the moisture out.
I use a 12 inch pellet smoker tube for 6 hours of nonstop smoke. That way I don't have to keep loading the smoker over and over again. The pellets are super cheap too. You can get 30 pound bag for only $20! If I have a large 25 pound brisket I just use two tubes for 12 hours of nonstop smoke once one of the tubes goes out as I like a strong ham like flavor. The main two things that go out is the digital control panel and the heating element after about two to 3 years down the road. I have bought about 3 Masterbuilt's within a 15 year time period.Good thing they are easy to fix and cheap to replace. Cherry wood for chicken and chicken wings is the best kept secret btw! ha ha
Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to check one of those out. Yeah, if I at least get a year out of this one before I have to replace it it would have been well worth the money. If I get a few years, that will be exceptional. This is the best smoker that I’ve owned to date! #Masterbuilt
@@IrixGuy Using the pellet tube keeps the heating element in almost pristine condition because it is not receiving additional heat from any wood chips. Also the heating element adds its own additional heat so the element does not have to work as hard...and you will get an additional year or so out of it.
@@IrixGuy Mine is over 10 years old, probably closer to 14. Only thing I've replaced is the heating element and that was last week.
This is on point. Do not get a glass door and outside insertion of pellets is genius. I am coming from Charbroil Electric Smoker Deluxe XL. This is next level for 1/2 the price.
Amen! That’s the best approach for an electric smoker! #ElectricSmoker
Don't know if you mentioned this but look at the lower right corner of the door when opened. The seal looks like it starting to fall apart like mine did after only a couple uses. I have read many other similar stories about this smoker.
I’ve had zero problems with this smoker so far but will check that out the next time that I uncover it for my next smoke. If it turns out to be a problem, I’ll definitely reach out to Masterbuilt. Thank you for sharing!
I've had one of these smokers for about 7 months and used it six times and it works okay, not super excited about this unit and it makes me typically go back to my charcoal smoker which does a far better job. Beware if you ever have a problem with parts which I just did, as he digital controller stopped working as a lot of people here have talked about (I kept the unit covered but it was in cold temps with quite a bit of snow) and the part should be under warranty but Masterbuilt put me through the wringer and I just went ahead and bought a replacement off Amazon as I've had enough wasted time and frustration dealing with Masterbuilt. So this smoker and the manufacturer just plain sucks
I’ve smoked the best pork butts that I’ve ever eaten in this thing. They usually take about 26 hours to reach the optimal 201 degrees internal temp. Sorry to hear about your experience.
I just wanna ask what state you live in, because that background is beautiful.
Thank you! We’re close to the Appalachian Ocean! #AppalachianOcean
to prevent the digital controller from failing because moisture gets inside you can disassemble it and put electrical tape along all inside seams, screw holes and wire port. then reassemble and put tape along the outside seam and finally tape the hole on the top of the smoker where the controller wire goes inside the smoker. i have pictures that illustrate this hack but youtube does not allow links in comments?
Great tip! I haven’t encountered that yet but it’s good to know!
I came to watch your smoker review. Now I want a video of the view from your house. I'm not jealous... actually I am ;)
Thanks so much! This place is the product of penny stocks and lucky timing =). Be sure to subscribe and check out my raccoon videos playlist too! George Cooney the Raccoon lives here! #GeorgeCooney
Great video! Could you tell me the lowest temp setting and the interior measurements? Thanks in advance! Totally agree about the glass door btw...
Thank you very much! I forget how low but below 200 degrees (I always smoke at 225). If you need to go lower, you can get the slow smoker attachment for cold smoking cheese, etc. I linked both it and the smoker within this video’s description. Stay tuned…I’ll have to break out a tape measure when it is not raining :)
@y Thank you! I'm actually just looking to use it as a warming oven for long holds around 150. The smoke isn't an issue... I'm really just wondering if a full packer brisket would fit on one of the shelves.
What do you do if the set temperature is a lot different from the ambient temperature as shown buy the probe? Would you adjust it to match???
I always trust the ambient temperature that my wireless probe displays vs. the built-in temperature. I smoke at 225 degrees, so I adjust my electric smoker's temp until my wireless ambient probe is around 225 degrees. #ChefIrixGuy
I’m new to wanting to smoke meat. I’m originally from KC and want to learn to make some KC style Burnt Ends from home. I work remotely on Mondays & Fridays but go into work on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Should I purchase this or get a smoker that I can control remotely instead? As a comparison, what remote control meat smoker do you recommend? I prefer to use real wood instead of pellets. Thanks in advance for the reply.
I never leave the house with it on but I’d recommend this smoker and the wireless probes like I use. Expand this video’s description and you’ll find both links there. Also subscribe to my channel and check out all of my other electric smoker videos too!
Do you wet the chips or use them dry? I got one of these for my birthday going to cook a brisket for the 1st time. Just need to know wet or dry chips
I typically never bother smoking the wood chips. I replenish then as needed throughout the smoke using the reloader on the side. Even when I do a 26 hour or so Boston Butt smoke, I end up using an insignificant quantity of chips from the bag.
Thinking about getting this smoker. The only thing that I am wondering is does grease get on the bottom of the element?
Link within this video’s description if you decide to purchase :) There is a drip pan on the bottom (removable for cleaning) and it drains out the bottom-rear to an external pan that is also removable and easy to clean. When I smoke, most of my drippings fall into the water pan itself and that also removes easily for cleaning. I’ve never encountered issues with it dripping on the heating element. I still use this smoker several times monthly and it’s the best electric smoker that I’ve ever owned. Granted, there are plenty of much more expensive electric smokers on the market but this is the best one in my opinion :) Be sure to subscribe to my channel and check out all of my other videos of this electric smoker too! #Masterbuilt #ChefIrixGuy
Hi, I’m in Canada, does it work in minus temperatures? We usually get pretty low although bizarrely now in January we’re bereft of snow
I’ve smoked s pork butt at close to zero degrees and it performed well.
What do you do with spent wood chips over the course of your cool? Just leave them in the pan? Do you ever have to empty to wood pan during a cook.
I dump the wood ash that has cooled completely off the side of my mountain. I've never had to empty the wood tray during a cook and that includes several large Boston Butts that I've smoked overnight and all day.
Awesome thanks!
Have you had no problem with the digital display shorting out from moisture like others have had on reviews?
I’ve had zero problems and I store mine outside. I do keep it covered while not in use though.
How does the smoker hold up in the winter when it's cold? Is it insulated good enough?
I smoked a 14 pound pork butt in it last weekend…smokes great all seasons just don’t cold smoke cheese during the summer :)
Great video! I think I'm going to buy this. However, I don't think that's how your supposed to use it @ 8:34...
Awesome…I’ve linked it and accessories within this video’s description, should you decide to buy one. Thanks in advance! #ChefIrixGuy
😎
"I stuck one probe in my butt" lmao good video I'm sold on it.
LOL Thanks and be sure to subscribe and check out my Masterbuilt electric smoker video playlist. I’m filming a Masterbuilt electric smoker beef jerky video today. I’ve linked the smoker, cover and accessories within this video’s description. Thank you in advance for shopping my links when you order :)
Don't forget the one behind the butt
Newbie here, is it a lot of maintenance using a smoker? Do you clean it after each use? Any other tips/ tricks?
Easy maintenance. I remove all racks except for the ones that I’m using during that smoke. After smoking and after cooled down, I remove the racks that I used, water pan and bottom drip tray and put them in the dishwasher. It’s super simple to maintain :) I linked the smoker and accessories within this video’s description. Thanks in advance for shopping my links if you order one!
@@IrixGuy most definately! And thank you for details again
Happy new year!
how often do you have to add pellets? Once an hour at say 250 degrees?
I smoke at 225 and add wood chips about every hour. Subscribe and check out my slow smoker accessory. With it, it’s only every 5-6 hours :)
Question How good does it hold temperature?? Also what’s the lowest temp this unit can do down to?
That’s one of my favorite things about this smoker! I set it and forget it. It does a flawless job holding temp and the temp will spike slightly, as additional wood chips are added. I’m not sure about how low but below 200 I think. I always smoke at ~225 degrees.
@@IrixGuy thanks for the reply I’m only looking for one for holding purposes I’m looking for 150 degrees
How often do you have to fill the wood? Every 15 minutes? 30? An hour? Never had an electric smoker and very interested
Usually about every hour or so. When I’m smoking a large butt overnight, I sometimes don’t add more hickory while I sleep and then start adding more hickory the next morning. It still comes out penetrated with hickory flavor. If you decide to order an electric smoker, I have the electric smoker, cover and accessories linked within this video’s description. Thanks in advance!
@@IrixGuy Thank you so much. I'll definitely use the link
How much wood chips you use for a one time smoke lets say for 3 -4 hours of smoke in low temp.?or how often you load wood chips ?
I use the small wood chip bag like a linked within this video's description and refill it every 30-45 minutes or so. It uses a small amount of hickory chips, to produce amazing hickory flavor!
@@IrixGuyThank You
I just wish it had a lock for the door. Looks like I'll have to custom built one for it.
If you don't mind me asking, why would you want to lock it? Does it smell so good that people try to steal your pork butt?
@@IrixGuy I'm paranoid. Smoking overnight or at work, with no cameras to see.
How would it work holding meat at 150 like a Cambro?
Not sure the lowest temp that I smoke at is 225.
How do you smoke all night if the Woodchips only last a few hours? Or can you put enough in for 8 hours?
Subscribe and check out my Slow Smoker attachment videos. I use that if I want continuous smoke for a long time without reloading.
Is your temp correct? Mines will say 240 but my prob i put inside my smoker will read 200 lol and my probe is accurate it reads 32 in a cup of ice
I only trust my ambient temperature probe.
I bought one of these on the recommendation of a good buddy but he told me straight up, the temperature control and its probe, are garbage. He recommended I buy a Thermoworks Smoke II and I’m glad I did. Once you know your temps, your smoking will be flawless.
Do you ever have an issue with dirty smoke? I have the old version of the 30" Masterbuilt and I seem to get dirty smoke a lot in my cooks. I just did 40lbs of Kielbasa over Thanksgiving weekend and It came out with bitter smoke on the casings. How much and how often do you add chips?
Interesting question! You're not by chance using treated wood are ya? =). In all seriousness, I've never had that problem. I always use hickory chips, mesquite chips or apple wood chips....never pellets. It's hard to say...when I smoke a Boston Butt for example I'll feed it every hour or so until I go to bed and then not start feeding it again until the next morning. Even when I smoke ribs or something all day and keep the smoke going constantly, I've never encountered that issue. You didn't by chance clean the inside of the smoker with any sort of cleaner did you?
@@IrixGuy Too much bark on your wood. Take some/ most off.
That could also be too hot, if you have too much heat it creates a very acrid, nasty smoke
@@ryanmcmuffi6137 my dad gave me his phone
@@ryanmcmuffi6137 so um
Do I need to use the water pan?
Always! You can use water only or mix in fresh garlic, onion, apple, etc. to add aromatics too!
Do I have to use wood chips or can I use wood pellets on this?
I only use wood chips. They're affordable and effective. You can find the wood chips like I used linked within this video's description and also detailed specs for this electric smoker.
They say wood chips only and no pellets with this model..
What about wrapping the meat in paper, to maintain the bark?
I've never wrapped my meat but I always get delicious bark! Have you wrapped it and how did it work?
@@IrixGuy so, I’ve wrapped in foil, after the meat stalls around 165 or so. But tinfoil doesn’t keep the bark quite as crispy. So I’ve been wanting to switch to paper. But, if I can skip that step with an electric smoker, that would be nice
Screw the smoker, look at that view 👏👏👏
Can you use wired probes?
Yes! I actually have a wired probe like I use linked within this video's description.
Can you cold smoke fish with these?
I have not tried smoking fish yet. Check the link within this video’s description for detailed specs.
8:34 damn aliens misfits
8:33 😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Are you still happy with it ? I’m thinking of getting one
It's my favorite smoker to date! I linked it, the cover and other accessories within this video's description. If you're looking for anything else, please ask. Also, feel free to subscribe and check out my Masterbuilt Electric Smoker video playlist. I have a lot of videos now and tons more coming soon!
Also, I've been able to smoke the best Boston Butt in this thing! I'm able to repeat the quality every time that I smoke one!!!!!
@@IrixGuy I sell food in my neighborhood farmers market. so I’m looking to learn how to smoke chicken quarters 😅 to pull and make sandwiches Any suggestions ? Thanks again for the videos and response you rock brother.
What's the highest temp this will get to?
I think 275 or so but I always smoke low and slow 225 ish
@@IrixGuy Ok cool, thanks! .... I'd like a smoker yet I'd like one that gets to a significantly higher temp due to, I'd not only want to use it as a smoker but as an outdoor oven for other things too. Thanks man! Great job on the video!
Bro, did u just say u stack a probe in ur butt many times 😂 nice I'm about to get one also in amazon and extra brobe for my butt 😂lol.
Bro, you can find them linked within this video’s description…bro! Thanks in advance, bro! #Bro
Y’all don’t even know, that glass is haaaaaard as heck to clean.
Glass is an electric smoker is like artwork in a toilet. It makes absolutely no sense!
That one hour two hour resting time of the meat gives you plenty of time to clean the smoker. What are you gonna be doing during the rest time anyways?
Drinking some Natty Light! The last thing that I want to do is clean and electric smoker’s window.
Is that the 30 or the 40?
It’s the one linked within this video’s description. Thanks in advance for shopping my links and if you’re looking for any specific accessories, just ask :)
Can you tell me again how many lbs the pork butt was please?
I smoke so many and I'd have to check. Typically I purchase a pork butt in the 9 - 11 lb range. To visualize, even with hungry eaters, that's likely more than enough for a family of 5 to eat for dinner, break, lunch and then dinner again =). I love pulled pork and have started making pulled pork chili the next day for lunch. So pulled pork with slaw, potato salad and baked beans for dinner, a couple of pulled pork sandwiches for breakfast, pulled pork chili for lunch and then another pulled pork dinner, It's so delicious and never rush smoking a pork butt!
10.3 lb........ we get it
Great listening skills! Thank you!
@@IrixGuy no! Great review!
why is it so clean if you've smoked all those things
I wash the grates, water pan and drip pan after every smoke. That black patina inside is from wood smoke =). #ChefIrixGuy
paint that deck..lol
LOL it was pretty janky! Subscribe and check out my more recent videos to see my painted deck with solar post lights installed :)
You could have said all this in about 5 minutes instead of 20.
BBQ is a low and slllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww process………..
Somebody always has to complain!
You way over complicated the glass door. It’s worth it. It’s not that difficult if your not lazy af.
I’m not lazy (I operate multiple businesses) but I personally find cleaning a piece of glass after every cool while it’s still warm to be a time suck.
DON'T GET the 30-inch Masterbuilt digital electric smoker! I have the model with the digital electric controller on top in the rear. It's less than 2 months old.
I cannot get it to stay on. I My smoker began turning itself off on the second smoke. I filed a warranty claim on MB's website, and MB (Shannon S) at first emailed said they would send me a new controller if I gave them my shipping address. I did, Shannon acknowledged that, and then they sent me an email 6 days later saying I have never supplied the shipping address they had already acknowledged, so MB was canceling the warranty service.
Yikes! I’ve had zero issues with mine. Did you keep it covered, while not in use?
@@IrixGuy Yes, it was covered when not in use. The model is 20070421.
I guess I'm going to invest in a different brand, after this bad experience with Masterbuilt. Any recommendations?
@@blueridgebikeman Smokin-it just be prepared to pay a little more.
i had one here in the UK, it was utter garbage, only lasted about 8 cooks over a 13 month period then the control panel completely died ? (no power, checked fuses, wiring, took the controller off, nothing obvious.......dead) it only had a 12 month warranty ! would never buy a masterbuilt again
Did you keep it covered while not in use? Mine is still going strong!
can you fit a turkey in here and a ham? or is it better to have smaller 2nd choice like ribs?
Ham and turkey will fir great!
Just curious but electric smokers can you use charcoal in the wood cup trays?
No you only use hickory chips or other types of wood chips. The electric smoker’s heating element provides the heat.
