30-Inch Electric Smokehouse Smoker
30-Inch Electric Smokehouse Smoker
Pros:
1. Digital thermometer: If you've smoked
much, you know keeping the smoker at the right temperature is often what
takes the most attention. As an electric smoker with a built in
thermometer, you can set your preferred temperature and then just focus
on keeping the woodtray filled, the contents mopped, and you're good to
go. (You will still want to use a digital thermometer on the meats
themselves to check their internal temperatures, but that's a different
matter.)
2. Well insulated: Unlike a traditional side smoker,
bullet or most other form factors, the masterbuilt is nicely chunky and
really doesn't care overly what the outside temperature is at (within
reason)
3. Capacity: Four racks (though with chickens, big
roasts, shoulders and ribs you may only end up using two at a time.
Still, I've loaded it up 30+lbs of meat at a time which for a product
that often drops under $200 when on sale, is not bad at all.
4.
Economy: It runs on electricity and with small amounts of wood
relatively speaking. Rather than going through large amounts of wood and
charcoal, you have a much more affordable smoke, which if you want to
smoke regularly (or smoke small batches) is great.
5. Customer
Support: You'll find repeated reviews of this online, but Masterbuilt's
customer support is second to none. Its hard to find companies that
stand behind their products the way Masterbuilt does. If something is
defective, they will fix it with little to no questions asked.
