Review 1 for Masterbuilt 30" Electric Smoker, Black
Poor respesentation Walmart

In switching from gas to electric, I felt this was the best bang for the buck. Don't want digital, too much to break. Don't want a glass door (Really? It's a smoker). It's a fine smoker for the money, but Walmart advertises it w/ four racks (it only has three), and an external wood feed door...No, it's a drip pan.
But value for the dollar it seems to work just fine.
After debating on returning it, I kept it as I didn't see anything else out there that would suit me as well.

Review 2 for Masterbuilt 30" Electric Smoker, Black
Smoker that is very easy to use

Smoker works very good temperture is consistant and cooks very well it's great not having to constantly monitor temperture plug it in set temperture and walk away . The wood chip bowl & water bowl should have been made a little larger in my opinion and the water bowl should not be sitting directly over the heating element . I have only used it twice since receiving it and have not gotten as much of a smoke flavor as I would like like I had on my charcoal smoker . Price wise I have found this same smoker at Tractor Supply Company for $129.00 now I will have to see if Walmart will match this .

Well made, good smoker for the money.

I purchased this smoker based on the information provided on the Wal Mart web site. One of my criteria for an electric smoker was to be able to add wood chips without having to open the main door where the food is cooking due to the fact that when the door is opened to add chips, heat is lost and on an electric smoker it takes time to re-heat the inside. The information on the site mentioned that the wood chip tray was on the outside of the box under the the smoker, so i purchased this smoker based on the fact that the wood chip tray was on the outside as stated in the article on the web site.
When i started assembling the smoker, i realized that the wood chip tray was not on the outside of the smoker as stated. The grease drip pan is on the outside, on bottom of the smoker.
This is disappointing to me, the product was misrepresented in the description on the web site. Once again, i made this purchase based on the fact that the wood chip tray was on the outside of the unit.

If you are wanting to purchase an electric smoker with the wood chip tray on the outside, stay away from this one.

great smoker, much better than the "bullet" type. Lots of control with the thermostat so you can slow cook ribs so they fall off the bone.Smoked a turkey and then some ribs, both came out fantastic. I would recommend this product to the novice or experienced backyard warrior.

Review 5 for Masterbuilt 30" Electric Smoker, Black
Great Smoker

This smoker exceeded my expectation. I was a bit skeptical about an electric smoker, as I am a fan of real fire/charcoal. This smoker heats up quickly and stays at the correct temp. The smoker is easy to maintain and requires very little tending. The water pan and the wood chip pan lasted about 3 hours per fill at 225 degrees. The first use was with pork baby back ribs with apple wood chips and no sauce. Was the best ribs I have made to date. I see this smoker getting some use and making some awesome BBQ meals.
The folks a Masterbuilt did a good job making this smoker. The packaging department did quite well too. If you get one, you will see.

Good value - does the job

This is a basic electric smoker, my first, after doing alot of research and wanting one that was double walled (for heat control) with the capacity to smoke a turkey or multiple smaller food items. Price was also a factor. I've used it just twice with good results. Unlike more expensive digital thermostat controlled models, this is manual, which requires you to monitor and adjust it to get the chips smoking and set at the right cooking temperature using the dial-type thermostat regulator. I found little correlation between the dial settings of low-medium-high on the regulator and the actual temperature attained as the dial allows you to spin it around more than 360 degrees (that was somewhat disappointing). Overall, it's a good value.
