I think I remember feesh saying he has the Masterbuilt. Is that correct?
ScottV has a MasterBuilt and I liked his so well that I bought one.....I like mine
Your correct Major, I had one before the storm and loved it. I will be getting another once I get rebuilt. They are extremely easy to use, the door seals up like a refrigerator, producing a very moist and efficient smoke. I had the larger stainless model with the glass viewing window. Don't waste money getting one with the window because after a few uses the build-up of soot covers it making it useless. I got a few bags of wood chips from my local grocery and used mostly apple, and hickory. If you've got any more questions feel free to ask. I had mine for about 3 years or so and used it a lot. GDG also has one.
Major......Sams wholesale has one on sale for 279 up here and it has remote u can control the temp with from patio door if it's cold/nasty outside.... Saw it yesterday while shopping
The cheapest place to buy right now is WalMart.com and get free shipping to your house.....mine was almost 70 bucks cheaper than Lowes and Home Depot
That remote is very nice feature to have, I used mine a lot because I tended to use the smoker more when the weather was bad and I was cooped up at the house.
Academy Sports also has them at good prices, they are close to you also Major.
Hey Feesh, how hard is the cleanup on that Masterbilt?Does it have a water pan and drip pan to catch grease?Walmart seems like the cheapest with free shipping or store pick up!
Clean up is pretty easy. Mine had a tray in the bottom to catch any drippings, I always lined it with foil. It does have a water pan which I also lined with foil. I also spray my racks with Pam before using and just cleaned them and the water pan in my dishwasher. The sides of the smoker I did not worry about much as it gets seasoned with age and use. If I saw soot building up heavy in a location I would just scrape it away with a putty knife. NEVER GET THE ELEMENT WET! You will be purchasing a new one if you do.
Ha ha, I did the same thing as soon as I got back home. Wish I had gotten the remote one, tho. Later got a remote from Acadamy and it works well.. I'd get it with the smoker if I were to do it again.Quote:

Thnks for all the info guys. Masterbuilt it is.
Don't know if you've pulled the trigger yet...but if you haven't...check out the Bradley Digital Smoker. After a lengthy bit of research I bought one back in December. It's worth every penny. It's insulated. It's digitally controlled (dial up the temp, smoke duration, and time you want), you can apply the exact amount of smoke you want, you don't need as much smoke as other smokers because it's very efficient. Also...if you ever plan to cold smoke anything...sausages, fish, cheese...there is no better "home" smoker than the Bradley. The only downside is that you have to use their fuel...they look like hockey pucks. It's not a big downside...I just bought a bunch of them to keep on hand. Can't say enough good things about this smoker.
I have a Masterbuilt 40" w/all bells and whistles. Remote Control is nice for monitoring the meat probe. I purchased it from Amazon for same price they have advertised here. Uses small amount of wood chips. I use is 2x week and I love it.

i agree with feesh...........i have a masterbuilt and love it.
Got a Masterbuilt 40 that came in the day after the house fire. Hope to get to use it before the year is out.
We were looking over the Black Friday ads 2 years ago. Debbie said, since you're going to BPS get the Masterbilt 30 for $79. This past year the Masterbilt 30 didn't have the glass door and was on sale for $179. Glad I bought it when I did.
Not the cheapest but best by far. Home - Cookshack, Inc.
Just ordered their catalog.Quote:
