    Masterbuilt 30" Electric Smoker - No Smoke, Chip Tray Height Fix

    I'm not sure when it happened, but at some point, my MasterBuilt electric smoker stopped producing smoke at lower temperatures. The last time I smoked something, I didn't notice any smoke until the temperature got close to 200F. I found a thread on this forum that suggested checking how far off...

    Camp Chef 24" Smoke Vault vs Masterbuilt 40 inch ThermoTemp XL vs OTHERS?

    I am new to smoke products. I grew up on propane and as a new home owner, I only own a 36" Blackstone Griddle and want to get into cooking more food at home; using just a griddle isn't enough. I LOVE smoked flavored foods, so I have been really looking into vertical smokers. I still intend on...

    Masterbuilt 560 - anyone have dimensions on the slides?

    A friend recently moved and decided I needed a 4th grill, so he sold me his Masterbuilt 560 for $100. When I got it home I noticed the slides are missing. To say that Masterbuilt support has been atrocious would be an understatement.. so here I am still in need of some replacements. Can...

    Using Masterbuilt Gravity Series Without Controller?

    Hi folks, I’ve had my Masterbuilt 560 Gravity Series smoker for almost 2 years now. So far, it’s been awesome. The one obvious downfall about it is that it needs to be plugged in. I was curious if anyone has experimented with using one of these smokers “unplugged”. It’s designed similar to a...

    Masterbuilt 1050 3rd day (returning unit)

    Yup. Gonna return it. It will not work past 350 degrees. It smokes great, but it will not grill. The fan shuts off at 350. All the troubleshooting works fine because it never reaches that temp. As soon as it hit 350 the fan stops. Sad day. I'll be returning it. Not sure if I'll get...

    Masterbuilt electric smokers: 20078715 for $125 or 20071117 for $100?

    Hi there, I have a shot at buying a very slightly used 20078715 for $125 or a brand new 20071117 for $100. They seem like very similar units, but I figured I should ask the authorities on the matter. For the record, I'm brand new to smoking and am interested in low cost, easy to maintain, and...

    Masterbuilt MPS 230s Modifications

    I am in the process of modifying my smoker to operate at lower smoking temps and to make the burner more wind resistant. We live at the west end of the Columbia Gorge and it gets pretty darned windy. I am attempting to build a dead air plenum. I’ll be adding screens to keep out the critters...

    First Smoke!

    Last night I did my very first smoke on my massaged MPS 230s. I followed Bear’s recipe for smoke salmon. I was challenged to maintain the low temps required. I discovered some variability in my ThermoPro thermometer, and a wide variety of temps in different positions in the cabinet. The top...
