Just picked up a stainless MasterBuild smoker yesterday. I've been reading a ton of post trying to get a starting point and see it mentioned about the upgraded version of smokers.

This smoker is stainless on all sides and I believe its the 30" size. Its a Cajun Injector smoker, which I believe is built by MB. The side "trap door" where you add the chips is a spring loaded door and not a tray like the pics I've seen on here. From the door is a down sloping tube that feeds the internal burn tray.

I picked it up for $89, but want to make sure its not a "problem unit". Model number is 22174.01940

Thanks for any help!

Maybe if you posted a picture (Qview here) we could help you to figure out how old your smoker is ? If you would please stop into Roll Call and intrduce yourself and we could give you the proper welcome that we like to give to new members too.

Cajun Injector is made by Masterbuilt, or at least mine was. It's about 2 years old. Sounds like possibly an older model?..... Is there a vent on top?... I've heard some of the older ones did not have a vent on top.

Sounds just like mine by the description and I just completed making the much talked about electrical repair. My best guess is to be prepared to put new wire and or electrical terminals on it soon.

I am pretty sure I saw a Cajun Injector at Cabelas the other day. I looked like a masterbuilt except that instead of a horizontal pull out "half pipe" for adding chips it had a tube at a 30 degree angle for adding chips or pellets. I did not look that close.
