Thread: which masterbuilt smoker?

I volunteer as the unbiased judge for the smoke off.

I've always been a charcoal and wood kinda guy and still am.The Masterbilt electric is definitely more convenient to fool with and keeps constant temp thru the cooking process.I have found that if you take a piece of lump charcoal,put it in a plastic baggie and bust it up and put it in with your chips you will get better smoke in my opinion.The Masterbilt is definitely cheaper on supplies.It does a good job for what it was intended to do.I am sure Don knows what he is talking about as far as the EGG. It would be the last grill you would ever buy.My son has a friend that just started a high end catering business and he has a smoker with a rotisserie that will hold 4 whole hogs at once and I sure would not want to feed that monster!I still love my old Brinkmann Professional offset smoker!I've never built a fire in the main drum and I have a 1/8" steel plate in the fire drum so burn out has not occurred in the 20 yrs. that I have had that grill.Just my

Been using a Master Built 30" for several years. I like it and it works really well for me but no matter which one you get, adding an A-Maze-N Smoker pan is the way to make these things absolutely rock. The Master Built is already a good basic unit but feeding the chip pan every hours gets old and with the A-Maze-N Smoker add on its a set and forget. It's also great for cold smoking cheese and bacon slabs.

You got a link to a site where we can look at and order these ?

Brinkman offset smokers are awesome. A lot of work feeding it every hour or so but they out out some good food

Here you go G.A-MAZE-N Products, LLC

Normally these are $34 but he has some scratch and dent models for $22.....I just ordered 2 more to get the free shipping and to give one to my dad.......these really do work.

I know this is going to sound crazy but we cold smoked some scrambled eggs (big batch) for 2 hours over the holidays when we had a bunch of family here and even Grand ma was impressed. Went great with the biscuits and gravy. Cold smoking adds lots of things you can do and the A-Maze-N smoker makes is so easy

lots of youtube vids on these
