Masterbuilt Front Controller Smoker with Viewing Window and Remote, 40"

this is my first real smoker and it seems to work pretty well. I got it becuase of the meat probe and glad i did, as it lets me keep an eye on things and take out the meat when it's at the right temp. It's been easy to clean so far, as most of the trays, etc remove very easily. I've only used it on pheasant so far and getting used to it, but with using brine, they've all come out tasty and not overly dry. Con: The only con I see so far is with the "remote." It isn't a full sync with the smoker, so if you set the settings on the smoker, then go to the remote, you lose the temp/time settings and need to re-enter them.

Works great but the window is useless after you run it. It clouds up and sofar has proven hard to clean. The instructions say use water and nothing abrasive , now its wet and cloudy. It makes very flavorful meat and alot less work than my old weber smoker.

What I liked Straight forward directions to assemble assuming you follow them. Works well in sub freezing temperatures , we'll insulated. Smokes well @ 150-175* Temperature hold steady +/- 5* Easy to use settings. Again, assuming you follow their directions. What I didn't like. Big Hot spot over the heating element. Water pan & smoker pan awkward to Remove & replace Small smoker pan Wish I'd bought the 47” smoker as it sits higher off the ground. Over all, I like it as it's worked well in the short time I've had it. Comments based on 3 useages w temps ranging from 150-225* for salmon & country style ribs.

Most simple smoker I have ever used. Set it and forget it. With internal temp. probe no more dry or overcooked meats. Check the temperature remotely and simply turn it off when it is at the doneness desired. Adding wood chips without having to open the door is another great feature.

Very happy, smokes really well. Because a couple friends had this smoker and loved it, I looked all over for this model. Found it at Sams finally and bought it.
