Masterbuilt 20070106 30-Inch Electric Smokehouse Smoker, Black

I bought this as my entry into the Smoked Meats brotherhood and have enjoyed every bit of it.  Great for jerky as well as chicken, turkey, ribs and butts.  Good way to do those long overnight smokes without having to tend a fire all night long. 

I am a total novice to smoking and so far I am pleased with the results.  I have only smoked ribs and chicken but the results have been good.  Others agree.  As with any new skill and new piece of equipment I can tell I am on the very low end of the learning curve.  I have gained a lot of insight about smoking in general from this forum.  Thank you all for sharing your knowledge.

Smoke production seemed low on my first 3 tries but after reading on this forum I am beginning to believe that the amount of smoke I assumed would be neccessary is a lot more than is actually needed.  Even on my last smoke when I didn't think it was producing enough smoke the food actually had a better smoke flavor than my first 2 attempts.  I think I am catching on to the idea of "thin blue smoke". 

I believe with time and practice I will easily be able to produce what I want with this smoker.  I would reccomend this product to the casual backyard smoker.

Thank you!

I bought this one after a good spring brown trout fishing trip in the spring. Have used it for trout, wild turkey and now blue fish this week. Works well for the money, and makes life easy because of the controllers. Only things I wish were better would be little higher heat range to get up into the higher side of smoke roasting and some more power to get things up to temp a little faster.

Over all I would say great value.
