I just got mine two weeks ago. Started using it a week ago. I’ve had MANY smokers. This one, hands down, is the best. I do soak my chips though. I may try dry sometime.
Awesome! Yes, it's the best smoker that I've owned too! Everything that it has smoked has been phenomenal!
These smokers do work great.
No doubt.....never a less than exceptional meal has come out of mine! #Masterbuilt
Make sure you turn the chip tube back in the upright position. Otherwise it can gather moisture and drip it back down onto your chips.
Excellent tip! TYVM for sharing!
Damn nice view off the deck !!!

My first smoker was a Masterbuilt and it worked great. My only complaint is the small amount of chips I could load. Not a big deal for pork, but if your smoking a brisket, it was just too time consuming to constantly load chips for that long.
My second one was a Smoke Hollow all stainless electric smoker. It had a giant chip try and smoked as well as the Masterbuilt. It would produce smoke for hours on one load of chips. Last year i went to get another Smoke Hollow and found that Masterbuilt bought them out and discontinued the entire line. Very unfortunate, Smoke Hollow was a superior smoker, hands down. Too bad Masterbuilt didn't at least incorporate some of the features that made Smoke Hollow better, like the chip tray size. That small chip load is why i wont buy another Masterbuilt.
There is a solution for your ask. Subscribe to my channel and check out my “Slow Smoker Attachment” videos. That is great if you don’t want to reload wood chips every half hour or so.
The Tudor makes it all the better!💪
Chewdah certainly does!
Just got one today
How are you loving it so far? Have you smoked with it yet?
I used to have one of those and that thing smokes meat better than my traeger does. I thought you were supposed to use pellets though?
Yeah, there is minimal marketing hype with this electric smoker and everything that I’ve smoked in it has been phenomenal. No, this one uses wood chips like the ones that I linked within this video’s description…..cheap and easy :) #Masterbuilt
That chip chute is gone i put a damper instead. Chip tray i cover in foil and poke holes for smoke but no flare ups at all.i regulate air in from bottom and top and it smokes dang better. An temp is better controlled as well.
That is a cool technique. What kind of damper did you install? I'm going to check that out!
Just curious, I just bought one. How often should you add chips
Let's say I'm cooking a 12 pound or so pork butt.....that'll likely take around 24 hours (give or take a few hours) to achieve 201 degrees internal temperature. With a pork butt, I start around noon on a Saturday. Every 45 minutes or so (whenever I no longer see visible smoke), I add more chips. I continue doing this until I go to sleep that night and then early the next morning, I resume adding chips at the same frequency. If you want to extend the reloading duration, subscribe and check out my Slow Smoker Attachment videos. Cheers! #ChefIrixGuy
Do you add water to the pan?
Yes and sometimes I put chopped garlic and onions in it for aromatics. #ChefIrixGuy
I fired nine up today for the first time. Doing some ribs over 6 hours. After about the first hour , stopped seeing smoke , added a few more chips. Do you have to add chips every hour ? I know you talked about the pork butt where you didn’t add them so often. Also how long after you add them should you see smoke ? Seems like it takes around 30 minutes with dry chips.
For a shorter smoke, I’d usually
add more about every hour. The secret is to crank temp up during the initial wood chip load to get them going. Reduce to your 225 or whatever low and slow smoking temp next, before adding your ribs. With that method, additional chips should ignite easily because there will be a solid and warm bed of smoldering chips underneath. #ChefIrixGuy

@@IrixGuygreat tip!
45 minutes is about how often you need to add chips.
How many time you reload your wood chips for a 6 hour smoke cook
Probably about 5 or 6 times if you want continuous smoke. Keep in mind though that having smoke rolling the entire time isn't always necessary. #ChefIrixGuy
Always use just dry wood?
With old school charcoal smoker (ai’ve been doing this a long time) I would sometimes soak my hickory chunks. Today, I just use the hickory chips dry and they work great! I’ve smoked everything from ribs to brisket and it’s all turned out excellent! Just don’t forget your water pan for humidity and you can toss in garlic, onion, etc. for aromatics. #ChefIrixGuy
How do i know when to reload the wood chips
It quite simple....when you can't see smoke, add more =). With that said, if it runs for a while without smoke it's not going to ruin the cook. As a matter of fact for 24 hour ish smokes like a pork butt, I often add wood chips up until I got to sleep but don't start adding more until I wake up the next morning. #ChefIrixGuy
Hi! I’m looking to get one of these, what’s the lowest smoke temp for it? Looking to do cheese and sausages
Subscribe to my channel and check out my slow smoker attachment videos. I have it linked within those videos’
descriptions.
You can get a separate chip smoker and run with the heat off to cold smoke cheese and fish.
With that amount of chips from your video, how long last the smoking?
I reload the wood chip thing every 45 minutes or so. I don’t add chips while I sleep and my pork butts still come out smoky and delicious! #ChefIrixGuy
@@IrixGuy I received mine a few hours ago and installed it right away. I did cook for 45 min some steak for testing with some Weskey oak chips and HOLLY! It's very smokey just for that time lol. I'm pleased. Thanks for your answer!
I have same and love it, but the chip loader only turns about a quarter turn. Anything I can do about that?
While it’s cool inspect because you likely have small wood chips obstructing it.
@@IrixGuy I saw the video you have about adding wood chips. My loader has never gone in that smooth or turned so far
@@johntxjvl I think you may be trying to add to many at a time don’t pile them on much above the top of the sidewalls
Do you wet your chips or dry
I only use dry chips in this one. I have used soaked chips in charcoal smokers in the past though.
Is that a Tudor?
It is indeed! “Chewdah,” as Our Pontiff would say!
Been looking at buying one of these but on another video was comments about the element packing up and people having problems but then here seems good reviews anyone had problems with theres
Please check the link within this video's description when you do. I can only speak from my experience and I've cooked TONS of meals in it so far (subscribe and check out my Masterbuilt electric smoker video playlist). All has turned out perfectly and I have encountered zero issues with mine. I do suggest using a wireless ambient and meat probe like I use. The built-in ambient thermometer isn't perfect in my opinion but by using my wireless thermometer, I can keep a close eye on my ambient temp and meat temp from my phone! #Masterbuilt
May your control panel last forever... seriously keep that thing dry and out of humidity
So far, so good! I store my Masterbuilt outside but keep a cover on it while not in use.
I’ve been trying to get this smoker to work well but always struggle with this more than a pellet smoker. I’ve found this unit will stop smoking after a couple hours or increase the internal temp too much causing creosote on the meat or over cook. The only thing I’ve been able to make successfully was a small brisket that only took a few hours. Should you pull the chip tray out slightly to allow more air for cleaner smoke? I’ve noticed mine likes to produce thick white smoke
Strange! Mine has worked great with this wood chip reloadable but subscribe and check out the Masterbuilt Slow Smoker videos that I've recently published. The cold smoker is an add-on that keeps the heat for smoking the wood chips outside of the electric smoker. In other words, you could operate your electric smoker at a lower temp.
How often do you need to add wood chips to it?
I monitor for smoke to stop coming out…usually about every hour but I skip some hours and get incredibly flavorful smoked meat still.
@@IrixGuy Thanks for the fast response bro. I really appreciate it.... ✊️👍🥩
