Master Built Smoker. I got this a month ago, I didn’t even know that it would work so good and simple, and the food was so good and tinder and the taste was unbelievable.

Perfect companion for a blue smoke. This small piece of equipment might seem trivial at first glance. And it remains totally uncomplicated. Yet this purpose-built gem generates the warm perfume of a working smokehouse, unwinds the fragrant ribbons, and emanates a delicate veil of smoke, turning an otherwise simple box into a master pit. Feed it with the chips of your choice and let the time and low temp do the work.

Great smoke generator. I have had this smoke generator for a while and it has performed flawlessly. I have 2 Masterbuilt smokers, one very large for family and friends and a smaller one for just the family, I quite easily move the smoker back and forth and the results are excellent and consistent between the two units. Lastly using an 8 foot 3" aluminum duct, thereby extending the distance between smoke and smoker, I use the smokers to cold smoke in my "turned off" smokers, varying the length of the duct depending on what product I am cold smoking

Slow smoker works good. I've been using the slow smoker for about a year and am over all happy with it.
I use it for constant smoke as opposed to loading wood chips into the smoker every hour, if I want extra smoke I just load chips into the tray in the smoker. One of a couple minor issues I have with it is the wood chips don't always drop down, so it stops smoking until I get the chips to drop. I do this by tapping on the slow smoke unit and if that doesn't work I will open it and push them down with a strip of wood.

New Life for my 30" Electric Smoker! After upgrading to a GS1050, my "little 30" Electric smoker sat there neglected for a couple years. Then my kids bought me the Slow Smoker accessory, and now I use the 30 mostly for cold smoking: cured salmon, cheeses, cream cheese, and whatever else I can think of.
I leave the Slow Smoker attached, and use the MB20080318 Vertical Pellet Smoker Cover to keep the assembly protected from the weather.
My Masterbuilt Electric smoker is earning it's place on the patio once again!
★★★★★ CP110 April 13, 2026
Game changer. I bought this about 2 months ago and it changed the game. I love nearly every aspect of smoking food, but the constant refilling of the wood chips using the original chamber was starting to get annoying. The slow smoker takes care of all that and provides an amazing steady stream of that “good” smoke. Glad I didn’t wait and just got it when I realized it was a thing I could add to the side pretty easily.
★★★★★ Barnyard April 12, 2026 · Woodland Wa
Slow and cold. I have used the slow smoker to smoke some fish and it worked perfectly. I smoke a lot of fish in the summer and I also can the fish. So by cold smoking the fish first then canning it comes out moist and delicious. In the past I smoked the fish first then canned it but it was kind of dry. The slow smoker is a game changer as I can get the smoke fish flavor without cooking it,it gets cooked when I pressure can it so it stays moist.it also works great when your smoking something that requires low heat or no heat (like cheese). I used it to smoke some smelt this winter which requires low heat and they came out fantastic. The other nice thing is not having to run out and add wood chips every hour. This is definitely a game changer for both cold smoking and smoking low temperature like fish. Absolutely love it!
★★★★★ Lummux April 5, 2026 · Stl
Not bad! Overall good. Unfortunately have to still slightly watch due to the wood sticking to the inside of the hopper. I would recommend lubing before putting in your chips!

Really bad paint! I've had my Masterbuilt smoker for a couple of years now, using it regularly. I was excited to learn about this slow/cold smoke attachment just a couple of weeks ago (Feb 2026) and ordered one immediately,
I was less than impressed with the mounting system, so I copied the semi-rigid aluminum conduit mod many others have done. Works good and allows even more cooling of the smoke on the way to the smoker box.
Masterbuilt would probably sell plenty of similar kits if they offered one.
As far as for producing plentiful smoke for a long time, this device does the job! (unless your chips jam up)
Now about the paint. Looking at YOU Masterbuilt.
I understand the need to present a good-looking product out-of-the-box, but this nasty peeling, bubbly and toxic-smelling paint is a failure in the end.
I'm sure your paint salesman told you this paint could handle the heat...but it can't.
Obviously since this has been an issue for years, Masterbuilt doesn't care. I know a rusty interior might look bad, but a little rust never hurt anyone.
Can we be assured the potentially toxic byproducts of burning paint won't cause cancer or any other issues?
I'm not taking the chance, burned all the interior paint off with a Turbo-torch...especially the chip-tube. I'm certain paint failure is the #1 reason the chips are getting jammed-up.
It's odd that none of the YouTube videos about the product mention the paint issue...otherwise I might have just gone with a $20 smoke tube.

Works great1. I have this attachment connected to my 40" electric smoker and it works great for smoking cheese and cold smoking fish. It's very simple and easy to connect. Having a large capacity for wood chips gives you time to prepare the rest of your meal or do other things and you don't have to keep filling it every 45 minutes. For longer smoke time, just fill it up and let it go.

Must Have Accessory. This little guy makes a world a difference by allowing you to let your smoking phase run its course without needing to load the tube over and over. I can set up a pork shoulder for a 6 hour smoke overnight, for example, and wake up ready to wrap. I love it. Must have.

Changed the game for my Verticle Smoker. My wife gifted me this for Father's Day and this changed the way I smoke in my vertical smoker and allows me to just let it smoke and not have to replace wood chips every 30 to 45 minutes. It allows the meat get the natural smoke flavor more than before.

★★★★★ Kiltman November 13, 2025 · VA
Slow smoking perfection, almost! I purchased the slow smoker attachment about a year after I got my electric smoker, and it makes a huge difference in my cooks. First and foremost it doesn’t have to be fed with chips nearly as often as the original chip tray. I’ve used it for smoke drying chipotle peppers, cold smoking bacon, and hot smoking pork buts, ribs, and other meats. The only two issues I’ve had with it is that sometimes the ships clog the feed tube (just clean it to fix) and the paint/powder coat (not sure which) on a lot of the interior bubbles up and collects water and smoke goo from the hot chips. Again, though, a good cleaning and the problem is gone.
★★★★★ John J November 12, 2025 · Milwaukee WI
Slow smoke attachment for my 30" electric smoker! I bought this accessory on sale and didn't know it existed before I saw it. Very handy for cold smokes and long smokes like brisket or pork butt. Or for those who want that much more smoke flavor on their food. Good investment. The only problem that occurs is one that also occurs with the gravity feds. Fuel bridging in the chimney/fuel chamber. It's an easy fix but you have to keep an eye out for it.

The Best. I have only used Masterbuilt vertical smokers for over 12 Years now. They last and perform like champs and have handled ANYTHING that I smoke. I added the external cold smoker box which makes cold smoking easy. Also easy to the amount of smoke and not having to open the door. I have been using this little beauty from the beginning.

★★★★★ JPederson September 20, 2025 · Surrey, BC, Canada
Poor design and testing. Out of the box there is a noticeable smoke leak from the chimney. I am rather disappointed in this product. It does put smoke where its meant to be but losing smoke out the top of the slow smoker itself points to poor quality.

MUST grab this for peace of mind. This cold smoker is a must-grab if you're wanting to smoke meat and have more of a hands off experience.
Without it, you can expect to refill the wood chips in your verticals smoker every 30 minutes or so.
With it, you can get away with 4-6 hours before having to refill, making long smokes more convenient and realistic and enjoyable.
Gets the job done!

Perfect Add-On for True Low-and-Slow Smoking. The Masterbuilt Slow Smoker is a fantastic accessory for anyone who wants deeper smoke flavor and longer smokes without constantly reloading chips. It attaches easily to compatible Masterbuilt smokers and works exactly as advertised, feeding wood chips slowly so you get hours of consistent smoke.
I love that it allows true cold smoking for items like cheese, nuts, and fish—something that’s hard to do with a regular smoker alone. For hot smoking, it gives a steady stream of smoke that really enhances the flavor of ribs, brisket, or poultry.
It’s compact, simple to operate, and easy to clean. The only consideration is making sure you’re pairing it with the right Masterbuilt smoker, but once set up, it adds a whole new level of versatility.
Overall: If you already own a Masterbuilt smoker and want to expand your smoking options, the Slow Smoker is an excellent upgrade. Reliable, convenient, and a great way to add richer smoke flavor with less effort.
★★★★★ Psm96 August 30, 2025
Great for Cold Smoking. This attachment has greatly increased the range of food I can make with my electric smoker.

This is the best thing that has ever been created. I was told about this attachment for my masterbuilt smoker by a co-worker. I figured I'd give it a shot, since he was ranting and raving about it. Let me tell you something, this is the best thing that has ever happened to us. It literally levels the smoke game up so much, and it is unmatched by any other smoker- we have a pellet smoker, our masterbuilt smoker, and now the slow smoker attachment for the masterbuilt. I will probably never use the pellet smoker again. If you are considering purchasing this for your smoker, I am telling you right now- DO IT! You will not regret it for even a moment. We have made smoked cheese, cream cheese, pork butt, turkey, etc. so far in just a couple of weeks. I will never stop using this. Worth every single cent.
★★★★★ PopPop August 28, 2025 · Dayton, Oh
I'm Glad They Started Selling These Again. I am new to smoking. I love to smoke at a low temp, and the lower the temp, the less smoke I get. I bought this and wow, I can have as much smoke as I want at whatever temp I choose. Attaching to my smoker was easy and works great.

Excellent device. Great for long cooks!! Just purchased the Slow Smoker direct from Materbuilt and have used it several times with my Masterbuilt electric smoker (mes340g). It was easy to connect and well built. I was very improessed with the amount of smoke it generates. Just fill the slow sokers chimney and let it rip for hours. Only downside it my smoker cover won;t cover the smoker without first taking the slow smoker off. Once you have it on, I found I was reluctant to take it off.

Loved the way it worked but... I received this for a Christmas gift and was very impressed that I could cold smoke cheese and salmon with it. The problem is after using it just twice and storing it inside my shed out of the elements the heating coil burned out. Also the chips would stick repeatedly and had to be shaken down which I imagine couldn't be good for the side smoker or the main smoker although the instructions do warn this may happen. I was very disappointed and since it was a gift I don't have the receipt and couldn't return it.

Awesome for Cheese, Fish, Bacon & Jerky! The Masterbuilt Slow Smoker is perfect for those delicate, low-temp smoking jobs that standard smokers can struggle with. I mainly use it for cheese, fish, bacon, and jerky — and it works like a charm. It produces a steady, cool smoke for hours without raising the temperature too high, which is exactly what you need for cold smoking. The results have been amazing: smoky cheese with no melt, perfectly cured bacon, and jerky with great texture and flavor. It’s easy to attach, simple to use, and adds a whole new level of versatility to my smoking setup. If you’re looking to expand beyond the usual brisket and ribs, this is a great little add-on.

Expected longer smoke times. I got this after reading you can smoke for up to 6 hours. While trying to do a Brisket overnight, I found the wood chips only last about an hour. This was incredibly disappointing, as this required me to reload the smoker several times throughout the evening. Also, the internal paint starter to bubble which caused the lid and smoke tube cap to stick. The smoke produced was great, but was very disappointed in how short the smoke lasted.

Great smoker, but has condensate problem. I have bought 2 of these slow smokers. The first failed (out-of-warranty) because condensate (which I believe to be creosote) from the smoke exited the slow smoker lid repeatedly over time while the slow smoker was in use, running down 3 of 4 sides of the slow smoker body (without me noticing or paying close enough attention, because the streams are hard to see and may seem harmless), eventually going into the on-off switch and gumming it up. I bought another, identical slow smoker since I like to slow smoke various foods to get the smoke flavor into them before seasoning/marinating them, and then grilling or otherwise cooking the food. My goal was to solve the design problem of the condensate drip. I believe I have solved the problem. First, I glued aluminum countertop edging--cut to size--to 3 sides of the smoker, making a continuous open "half-pipe" catch-all (about 1/2 inch wide and about 1/2 inch high). I used a two-tube epoxy rated to withstand temperatures above 500 degrees. Second, on the slow smoker side that attaches to the regular smoker--because there is limited space--I cut dollar store aluminum cookie sheet metal to connect with the half-pipe to catch drippings on that side of the slow smoker. Same glue. I have only used the new slow smoker once (and only as modified). It caught the dripping condensate without any problem. Except for the condensate problem, the slow smoker is great!

Great till it isn't. I bought this at the end of april. I was very happy with it until it went on the fritz. Blowing my house circuit and not giving a pleasant smoke. Currently have a ticket in for warranty. I will revisit this review when the warranty process is complete.
★★★★★ epossum July 9, 2024 · Virginia
Works well but I have one issue. I've used this slow smoker several times and am happy with it so far. I mainly bought this so I could start my 40" smoker late in the evening and run it all night. That has worked well with this slow smoker's large capacity. It holds enough wood chips to last for several hours which is plenty for my smoking needs.
The only issue I have is the lack of support under the Slow Smoker when it is attached to the side of my 40" smoker cabinet with the optional legs. Apparently it is designed to be used on a smoker without the optional legs. I've used a couple of bricks under the slow smoker for support as there is no other way to achieve the needed support. This is somewhat inconvenient for me as I often have to move my smoker while using it to make sure it is protected from rain. This issue is why I have given only a 4-star rating.
★★★★★ itzawrap June 29, 2024 · Northern Michigan
Good device, espensive replacement parts. This is my second one of these in 10 years. The old one still worked but the price for a replacement screen, just the screen, is half the price of the entire unit. Which is absurd and one of the things I hate about Masterbuilt. But I figured after ten years and one screen replacement about 5 years ago, when it was only 15 dollars, I decided to begin the next ten years with a new slow smoker because it is essential to maintain an adequate amount of smoke in an electric smoker. That little half tube device is not adequate for thick smoke. Too little chip capacity and you have to monitor the smoke constantly, as well as turning up the main smoker to temps I don't need to cook at, in order to burn the chips using the tube that inserts the side of a Masterbuilt Electric smoke.
In the meantime, I am going to find some local craftsman that can build me several screen assemblies from scratch or to repair the rotted screen from my old slow smoker.
In my opinion this is bad customer relations from Master Built....but I really don't think they care two hoots.

★★★★★ Big Paul June 28, 2024 · Middletown NY
Good Beginner Smoker. This smoker is supposed to go to 275°, but every time I put in a third party thermometer, it never gets above 260. And it really affects my cooking times. Now keep in mind 260 is the hottest it'll get. It doesn't stay there for long, it drops down into the 240s, sometimes 230s until it Heats back up again. I've been embarrassed a couple of times when I invite people over at a certain time but whatever I'm cooking takes an extra two to three hours, seriously. And yes, I have cleaned off the little thermostat sensors inside the oven.
I was also disappointed when I saw that an updated model of this has been released with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity, I forget which one but you can connect it to your phone. I really wish they would release just a new thermostat thing with all the new gadgets in it because I'm pretty sure the ovens are exactly the same.
It is very difficult to read the little digital screen that shows the temperature and time remaining. You have to cover it with your hands if it's sunny out. I'm going to guess that's why they put the thermostat control panel thing at the bottom of the newer models instead of at the top.
I've looked up quite a few recipes on YouTube with people who have the same exact smoker. Every single one of those recipes took at least an hour if not two or three longer. But I will say, everything I have made in this smoker comes out tasting amazing.
★★★★★ JHam June 23, 2024 · San Jose
Not So Sure About This. The description claims up to 6 hours of smoke. With a fully loaded chimney mine can’t get past 3 hours. The smoke usually escapes out the chimney and does not get into the smoker as much as it should. I would not recommend this product
★★★★★ Smokin’ June 13, 2024 · CA
Good but not great. The slow smoker box is a good addition to the 30 or 40 inch smoker. I’ve used it enough now to realize that the wood chips get stuck in the shoot more often than not. I make sure the wood chip pieces are all the same size but it still happens, so using heat resist gloves I flip the lid open, remove the cap to the shoot then use a thin metal rod to mix up the chips which does the trick. Shouldn’t have to perform this task so 4 stars.
★★★★★ Karen R May 23, 2024 · St Louis
Don’t buy. Smoker box won’t attach tight to smoker, it leans backwards. It’s the worst customer service I have ever encountered. you have to email them. It takes days for them to get back to you.

Slow smoker edition. I purchased electric vertical masterbuilt smoker a few months back and have used it quite a bit since I purchased it. The only thing I didn't like about the electric smoker is the fact that when I was smoking at low temperatures 225 and below it would be hard to keep producing smoke. I seen the slow smoker wood chip feeder and purchased it and was very pleased it helped out a lot and I can also cold smoke which is really cool. Would highly recommend this addition to your masterbuilt smoker especially if you're having troubles producing smoke at low temperatures.

IMPROVE SHELF SUPPORTING SYSTEM. I have two Master Built smoker. A small & large. The smaller has angle iron with pin's that push into the wall & supports the shelving. The small smoker shelves have never collapsed.
The new or large smoker has slots pressed into the sidewalls into which the shelves are shoved into. This new design is bad because the shelves do not support the weight of the meat & collapse from the top to the bottom shelf.
But the smoker holds temperature. I also purchased the cold smoking attachment but have not used it yet.
RECOMMENDATION: Improve the shelf support system.

Smoke and Flake. After one use for a 5 hr cook, the paint on the lid has started peeling on the inside (yes seasoned per directions). Convenient to not to have to load wood chips but peeling paint is a health threat. You would think Masterbuilt would have corrected this by now

Option that should come standard. Awesome cold smoker that adds limited heat to smoker box. Easily open smoke cheese without cheese cloth

Surprise from MB. Great attachment I didn’t know I wanted until MB sent it for free. Worked well for smoking cheese and keeps smoke going for long periods of time when using the regular smoker for meats. No ned to keep refilling with wood chips.

Slow smoker. I purchased this slow smoker, thinking I could get as much as six hours of smoke time.not get that time I would have to refill the slow smoker once. The shape of the internal chip holder makes it difficult to load wood chips because the top is narrower than the bottom. I would think a straight internal chip holder would hold more and be more efficient.
But All in all it worked well. However I removed the internal chip holder and filled it from the bottom and replaced the screen.
As far as smoking it was perfect. It puts out the perfect amount of smoke at any temperature in the smoker. I do wish Masterbuilt would reconsider the shape of the internal chip holder and make it larger at the top for easier loading.

Good idea, poor performance. Finally took mine off and discarded it.
More trouble than it is worth

Cold smoker attachment. Worked as it should! Instructions were a little sparse but I figured it out. First batch of bacon was excellent 😋

Slow Smoke. I've found that in addition to the cold smoking option for something like cheese, the Slow Smoker will allow me to add more wood chips so I don't need to pull the small chip container and reload as often.

Not what it is in real life. It might be ok but when advertising a product don't show a fake picture. Masterbuilt is not what is used to be.

Best kept secret the slow smoker! So far I love the slow smoker attachment! Wish I had known about it on my last Master Built electric smoker. This should be marketed better so people know there is an option for better low temperature smoking or cold smoking and longer smoking without adding more wood. I added a gasket and latch to the top of my slow smoker to prevent so much smoke loss. So far I haven’t done any real long smokes but what I have done the wood lasts much longer and the wood smoke flavor is top notch. I would recommend a brochure in every smoker about this option.

Works. I just used it today to smoke drumsticks and it worked great. It was take nice to load it and wagon away. It took 2 hours to smoke and it kept giving smoke for another hour + after I turned it off.

External smoke generator. Love this external smoker box as an addition to my master built smoker. Can load up an hour of smoke instead of the little pan they give you with the smoker.
