Masterbuilt Two Door 30-inch Propane Smoker

Nothing masterful about this smoker. Glass panel on door may appeal to an amateur, but is simply ridiculous on a smoker. Don’t bother to clean it. The width of the cabinet and racks are a tad narrow, making it difficult to fit a large (15#) brisket or pork belly (10#) onto one rack. After just one season the thermostat fails to keep temperature stable with large temperature swings of +/-20 degrees. I have to babysit this smoker to control the temperature…very disappointing.

Good Not Great. The issues I have with this smoker are getting started and temperature control. When starting up, I have to hold the control in for a really long time before it finally stays lit. Also, 250 on the temperature control does not necessary mean 250 so I recommend a wireless or internal monitor.

Great features. I love the fact that I can set the. Just received it about a week ago. The last masterbuilt propane smoker I had lasted 20 years. Excited to start this new one. Putting together. also very simple well. Seasoning it was also very easy. First cook came out fantastic. Here's to another 20 years using this amazing smoker

Durable. I got this smoker from a friend who was moving a year ago. He had it for years prior and all I needed was to replace the flame bowl. Easy to use and does a good job as long as you rotate the racks while cooking (lower rack gets hotter than upper). Works better with chips than chuncks.

Versatile, Convenient and Great Grill/Smoker. I absolutely love the Masterbuilt 30 in Dual Fuel Smoker & Grill. Having the ability to smoke and grill on the same unit makes it incredibly convenient and versatile. The propane setup makes it easy to maintain a steady temperature, which is especially nice for longer cooks. It’s sturdy, well built and easy to move around when you need to move it. I received this from Masterbuilt to review and after using it, it has officially earned a spot in my BBQ grills/smokers rotation. It’s easy to use, easy to fire up, dependable and gives me the flexibility to smoke or grill depending on what I’m cooking. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile smoker and grill that’s convenient without being complicated.

Very reliable smoker. I have had this smoker for over 6 years and it still produces awesome food. I just to replace the pan and give it a little TLC but it still is rocking.

Master built propane smoker. Ordered from Home Depot May 25th arrived within a week and used it twice. The flame wouldn't stay lit. Switched tanks and made sure no sensors were loose,continued to have the same problem. Contacted Master built and they sent me replacement parts and still didn't resolve the issue. Going to contact home Depot and hopefully they will refund my money.

Love it and Works flawlessly. I have owned this for 3 years now and it has always worked flawlessly. Temperature is very easy to control and uses very little gas. Should get almost 2 seasons out of a tank of gas.

Poor welds. I have had this smoker for awhile and about 3 months ago the door hinge welds broke and the door fell off. I was able to weld it back on but it didn’t last but two cooks. I like the smoker but not the workmanship. .

Masterbuilt smoker. I got this smoker for my birthday and it is great works really well and is easy to use best smoker i have owned well worth the money

Great Vertical Smoker. Very happy with this. Large capacity and easy to operate. Very good design. Easy to maneuver when it needs to be moved. Sufficient shelf space for any smoking needs.

Vertical 2 door gas smoker. I use this weekly and love it. It does everything I want it to do and more.

Made me the Grill master. I’ve enjoyed smoking mini types of meats in the smoker. Most popular pulled pork, pork butt.

SMOKER. HIGH QUALITY AND EASY TO USE. WOULD HAVE GIVEN FIVE STARS IF LEGS WERE RUST PROOF.

My Propane smoker. I bought this smoker liked it a great deal, the pan for wood chips is great, dual doors for access to add more wood chips, overall very pleased. The top door hinge broke making it almost useless.It still works but a pain to use, and clean.

Hassle Free Smoke. After five years of faithful service, my Masterbuilt vertical propane smoker has more than earned its place as a cornerstone of my backyard cooking setup. It has consistently delivered delicious, smoke-infused results, whether I'm tackling a holiday turducken or a Thanksgiving turkey. One of the standout features of my model is the full viewing window. Being able to monitor the color of the meat without opening the door is a game-changer. It takes the guesswork out of knowing when to wrap, ensuring a perfect bark every time. This is especially crucial for large and complex cooks like a turducken, where maintaining a consistent temperature is key to success. Over the years, I've found the Masterbuilt to be incredibly reliable. The push-button ignition still fires up on the first try, and the temperature control remains impressively steady. The vertical design is another plus, providing ample cooking space without taking up a huge footprint on the patio. I do believe the wood chip tray should be a little bigger but other than that, If you're in the market for a propane smoker that delivers consistent results and is built to last, I highly recommend this Masterbuilt.

Reliable and Consistant Workhorse of a Smoker. My first Smoker was the Masterbuilt - Two Door Propane smoker. I knew nothing about smoking or how to use a smoker. I had to assemble it myself, which I am a nerd and kind of like assembling something so I know it better. However, after reading and researching I decided to fire it up and smoke a couple of whole chickens. They turned out beautiful and of course, tasty. I love the fact that I can control the amount of smoke and temperature manually. I do also own a pellet grill now, but honestly, there is nothing like the real flavor of smoke coming from wood chunks. I also love that I have the two doors so I can keep the upper half closed while I insert wood. I also appreciate that it is small and easy to store and move when I need to.

Smoker. I bought this to replace my old smoker just before Christmas. It works great but I do have two gripes. One, the interior area is smaller than I expected, and eighteen lb spatchcock turkey is a tight fit. Two, wood pan is too small to put enough flavor into the meat early in the cook.

XL gas smoker! I am writing to share my positive experience with the XL gas smoker I purchased in 2017. When I bought my house, I decided it was time to upgrade from my Masterbuilt 30” digital electrical smoker. I chose the XL gas smoker specifically because I wanted to transition to gas and really liked the glass door feature. After a simple assembly and the initial seasoning, I have since smoked all kinds of meat with it. I am very happy with how well the smoker maintains its temperature and the amount of smoke it produces. It has been a great addition to my cooking routine.

Does not stay lit. Bought and assembled a couple months ago. Finally got a chance to use it. Two hours into the smoke the flame went out. Not a supply issue. Will only stay lit if you hold the knob in. Let go of the knob it goes out. The heat sensor is installed properly, connections are tight. The controls are simply faulty and based upon dozens of other reviews it’s a common defect.

Faulty product. Poor customer service. I had this unit for 2 months before the unit stopped working. I contacted customer service, and the best resolution they could provide is to replace the faulty part. The replacement part is backordered and won't be restocked until mid-December. This means that I will have to find another way to smoke my turkey for the family coming in to town for Thanksgiving. No offer for a refund or replacement. My advice, if you want to roll the dice on this faulty smoker, buy it from a local retailer so you can return it when it breaks immediately. If you buy it from their own website you'll end up stuck without a smoker and without your money.

This smoker has never let me down! I bought this over three years ago and absolutely love it! I have considered purchasing another smoker. This one is still going strong.

Awesome Temperature control. I bought this smoker 5 years ago & I have smoked turkeys, ribs, deer sausage, cakes, pies, roasts & they ALL turn out amazing!! The temperature control is unbelievable & the wood tray & water tray work perfectly!

Simple set up and use. I have used this for 3 years and it has been integral in my day. Held up well but I think I need a replacement.

Wonderful fearures. I bought this to replace another smoker. I have had it for about a month and used it to smoke a pork butt and a brisket. Both turned out great.

Smoking. Great smoker for long smoking. The duel door allows adding wood without losing heat and smoke on what is being smoked. Made two alterations- first was to put a cast iron pan on the burner so more chips could be added. Second was due to my butcher giving me a harder turkey then I ordered. Usually a 14 pound is sufficient for the family thanksgiving. He ran out of the 12/14 so gave me a 19 lb knowing I smoke them and had the knowledge. Was really large and would not fit on the racks. Drilled a hole in the center of the top and put in a hook to hang the turkey. Used a stainless steel rod through the cavity with the breast side down. Placed drip pan under it filled with seasoned water. Don’t recall amount of time smoking at 275 but pulled and tented when it reached 165. The smoker did a great job keeping temp steady and not having to open when adding the mixed apple and pecan wood chips. Have used this for many years on ribs, briskets and pork butts year round, even in the Wisconsin winters.

Great little box. I have owned this smoker for at least 15 years and recently needed to replace a burner shield that holds wood chips. it is nice to do business with a company that supports its product line. i had no problem finding the part i needed and obtaining it at a reasonable price. here is to the next 15 years of smoking goodness

Big upgrade. I had a smaller vertical smoker before. Besides accommodating much more food at once, it also cooks more evenly. Wood chips work like a charm in a cast iron sitting right on the flame. Great buy.

30” Analog Vertical Propane Smoker. First smoker I ever purchased. Very Happy with the construction, ease of dialing up temperature, and the price.still looks good and maintains temperature very well. Used it to smoke rubs, pork shoulders, chuck and Tri Tip. Great smoker to start with..

So good - I bought 3!!! Bought my original Masterbuilt smoker and loved it so much I had to buy my son one, then bought myself a second. Easy to use and works flawlessly.

Dude, plz! I have created many master pieces with this oldie but goodie! to the point of rusted out legs and frame. I have a southern pride, expensive unit, but with my wingman Masterbuilt and me can compete against any brand... i'd rather use no other. i start the fire with propane, and later turn off, and allow a slow, smoky burn with wood chunks below. i have many stories...and memories, photos, stored in my brain, under bbq! ty.

Cooks way more than you think! I love this unit. Super easy to use. Consistent, reliable cooking temperatures. Well built and designed. Can cook way more food at once than I imagined. Great value.

Set it and forget it!!! I bought this smoker a 5-6 years ago. The only complaint that I have is the amount of smoke. When i purchased this i tried using everything as intended but wasn't getting the smoke output i was wanting. I ended up taking the lid off of the chip pan and using larger chunks of wood to produce the amount of smoke that i desired. All in all a great smoker with a few changes made me a happy customer. I have made pork butts, ribs, briskets, full turkeys, full chickens mac and cheese, cheesy potatoes and the list goes on and on. All smoked to perfection. The part I love about the smoker is that you set the desired temperature and don't have to babysit it all day. Stop by every couple of hours to top off water pan if needed and add a few chunks of wood in and forget about it for a while.

Precise operation. I love working with this vertical smoke. It is so easy to operate. The temperature is easy to maintain the exact temperature.

2 door smoker. I have had this smoker for a year now and have used it summer and winter. When i 1st got it there was a problem with it staying lit. I called Masterbuilt and they said it probably was a safety feature and told me how to make the simple adjustment. It works great now and have smoked many different things on it and have never been disappointed.

Masterbuilt , 40 inch xl. I bought this a little over a year ago used it three times and the weld broke on the door hinge

Very good smoker. I have had this one for awhile. Smokes very well, easy to control, and does not consume a whole lot of space when in storage or on the patio. Easy to connect regulate to the propane, also. I have recommended it to others, and I have also allowed friends to borrow or use it. Solid purchase.

Valve. I had to purchase a new hose, valve and regulator within 3 months of purchase. I spent over $300 on a new smoker repair. Now a happy camper.

I have an older version of this model and it's a w. The first smokers I bought after my brinkman drum style passed on. Used it for years, bought a second one, one's in a cabinet that I had made the others on a rolling cart with a smoker box attached to the side. This bad boy can hold a lot of food.

Bang for the buck! I had this smoker for over ten years and recently gave it to a neighbor when I got the gravity 1050. It has so much room with the racks and smoking pork shoulder over a tray of drip beans was our favorite thing to do with it. You can't beat this smoker for the price!

Lots of space. I can smoke up to 8-10 briskets on this baby! I make pastrami and I can do a full load!

Love my xl upright propane smoker. I love my xl upright smoker. By far the best ribs I've ever made on this. The only thing i don't care for is the bottle plate. I've washed mine out a couple times and it seems to be rusting through. I think i can rivet some sheet metal in as a replacement, as mine is out of warrantee.

Amazing results! Easy to use. I absolutely love my new smoker. It has the right combination of efficiency coupled with the users attention to monitoring temperatures. I feel so accomplished when I get the accolades from my guests.

Ideal for camp or weekend activities. I bought this to cook at our camp , with the propane it is so much easier to use, since we don't have electricity yet. We Love it. Charcoal is fine , but this gives a better clean up.

Best smoker I've ever used. I purchased this smoker at the beginning of Summer and have been using it every week since I purchased it... It is the easiest thing to operate it tells you what it's doing and having masterbuilt charcoal is just the icing on the cake

Nice smoker. I received this as a gift in 2018. It is a nice smoker, except for the fact that it is rusting out. The drip pan bracket is rusted out and the flame shroud is rusted completely out. There is also no way to keep mice out of it. Other than that, I like the smoker and it does work great.

An AMAZING Little Smoker. We (I) had been thinking about trying smoking. I didn’t want a big price tag for something I wasn’t sure I would be any good at, or how it would be received. As it turns out, this little smoker can do it ALL! Ribs, chicken, pulled pork, and brisket…. I was amazed, and the family surprised and full! If you are looking to start smoking. If you are looking for a space-saving, compact unit. If you are looking for a quality-build, reliable device. THIS is your smoker. Smoke On!

Great smoker. I great smoker for beginner to advance smokers and will get the job done with no problem. A must have for your BBQ collection.

Almost set it and forget it easy. Makes smoking simpler and when using cast iron skillet for wood chunks, makes a tasty smoke.

Bigger is Better! Pro's: You can smoke for an entire wedding party, and I did. They all commented that it was the best wedding reception food ever. All took to go, which we expected. It has a separate door for the smoke tray and flame compartment that keeps the upper cabinet closed to reduce temperature fluctuations and hold the smoke. It has a water tray that catches a lot of the drippings. The smoking cabinet has a glass door that allows you to see the progress without opening the door. Con's: The temperature gauge in the door is inaccurate, but most aren't and are pretty much expected. The vents are not fully adjustable, meaning you can not fully close any of them since the design keeps one open. To maintain the temperature to smoke without overheating, you must turn the gas control backwards past the stop to get the flames low enough to go low and slow.

Best investment ever. I have owned this Smoker for some time and feel it was the best investment I could have made. It sidelined a smoker I already owned. I have bought parts and rebuilt it twice since I use it so much. I will buy a new one very soon. It is so easy to use and it maintains heat even when I smoke Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and appetizers. I even use it to smoke meat and finish it off like a regular oven it holds perfect heat so we'll. I definitely recommend this smoker.

If you want the BEST smoker than this is the ONE. I have had my smoker for over 4 years, and this one is the best smoker, with outstanding results, including ribs, turkeys, corn on the cob, potatoes, and so on. if you want great results, then this is the one to own

Great grand smoker. To large can feed a neighborhood very good smoker easy to use hard to but together

Great smoker when there is no electric nearby. I have 3 smokers now and the propane comes in handy for when I’m camping and recently when I lost power at my house. I love smoking new things and use my smokers more than my stove.

Amazing value for the price! I’ve had this since last July 4th. I’m a huge fan of the automatic adjustment of propane flow to maintain cabinet temperature! The glass door helps me keep an eye on my food while cooking. The larger chamber, ability to easily add chips, and easy roll around of the unit makes it so easy to operate and smoke where I want to!

Easy to use smoker! I’ve been running this smoker for 2 years! It’s so easy to use and delivers with great smoke flavored food! I’ve done ribs, chicken, Mac n cheese, and even venison!

Can’t Go Wrong. Vertical smokers are compact and very easy to use! Great beginner smoker for someone who’s looking into getting into the smoking game!

5 years and still going strong. Ive owned this smoker now going on 5 years, and it is still going strong. Haven't had a single issue with it. The only thing that I have done to it is to add some firestripping to both doors, as the smoke seemed to escape from these areas. I have absolutely no complaints with this smoker

40-Inch ThermoTemp™ XL Propane Smoker is great all around smoker and its big enough to make up to 25lb jerky, or 40 lb, summer sausage, done up 13 racks of spare ribs at one time, 2 10 lb pork rump roast for pulled pork, brisket, burnt ends and with smoker attachment could even do did 20lb different types of smoke cheese. Smoke full turkeys.......What Can I say, I Love this smoker. best father's day present ever.

Perfect propane smoker. I bought this a 3 years ago and it still looks and smokes like the day it came out of the box. Easy to control and maintain heat. Nice size wood tray to add chunks and I like the separate wood/water door as to not lose heat.

Great smoker. I bought it awhile ago and love everything I’ve smoked in it

Great smoker. Love my masterbilt smoker, would'nt buy anything else.

Great little smoker. Only reason it's not 5 stars is the wood ship tray isn't on par with the rest of the smoker. But loving it, in 3 weeks I've used it 5 times. App has pretty recipes

works as advertised, recommend. this smoker is what I expected, it works great however it is a giant pain in the butt to put togeather....many parts, only pictures for instructions and not everthing fit well at the end. I does work properly and shud produce many years of good bbq

Fantastic Smoker! I bought the Masterbuilt 20051311 GS30D 2-Door Propane Smoker about a year-plus ago and couldn't be happier. It's well constructed, incredibly easy to use and the food capacity is simply extraordinary. I've smoked a spatchcocked turkey, whole duck and chicken all in one session. I've done Boston Butts, sausages fish and more! It's an outstanding product that will last a lifetime.

great smoker. large smoker. great that it uses propane. almost big enough for a whole hog.

Best cooker for me. Have had several cookers, typical horizontal cooker with wood box on end but could not control heat. Had an electrical Vertical but too small. Had a Horizonal pellet grill but did not smoke near enough & had trouble controlling heat. Finally got this and really enjoy cooking now.... I found it user friendly and still to learn proper cooking techniques but this has given me my best shot at successful cooking / smoking meat.

Smoker Heaven. This smoker came to me as a gift. Probably the best gift of the last Three years.Smoking meats, sausages and even cold smoking fish with a sawdust spiral, isexcellenr. Smoking Haddock before poaching in milk is great.

What a beast ! Wasn't to bad to assemble and season. Handles large amount of assorted meats at one time

Solid performer. I've been smoking on this bad boy for over a year and a half, including doing 60lbs of pork butt TWICE for different charity events in that time. the Thermotemp feature actually works as advertised, as confirmed by my leave in electronic thermometer. super simpe to operate, wide enough to do two slabs of ribs on each shelf. 100% recommend this unit.

Great Smoker. Great backup smoker for when we have a lot of guest coming over

Ample smoking surface. The extra width of this smoker provides plenty of room for a whole brisket, or up to 2 whole Boston butts per rack. If you appreciate the difference of vertical propane smokers, especially the slow and steady cooking temperature capability…plus the much easier clean up (no charcoal or wood pellet mess), I suggest you get one quick because they are getting hard to find.

Plenty of room and accurate. Plenty of room for a brisket or turkey. Holds temps very accurately.

My Smoker. I've had this smoker for a few years now, I love how I can set it and forget it. I've smoked some wonderful things in it but my favorite has got to be my deer meat shephards pie. It truly is the best, and most woods I use are fruit woods, which give it the right amount of smoke!

40-Inch ThermoTemp™ XL Propane Smoker. I bought the smoker last summer and we are very satisfied with it. Had a minor problem. getting it going at first but called and the tec. told me how to fix it. We used it all winter in northern Indiana.

Very spacious. I was recently gifted this for my birthday and it honestly is my go to smoker. It’s perfect to use for a large group of people be cause you can make so much more stuff.

Easy to use and great food! We’ve had this for over a year and enjoy it a lot. Whether cooking for just or family of 4 or hosting a party this smoker can accommodate both. Great food every time

so easy to make great food. Love this smoker, i tried the charcoal route, had such a hard time keeping consistent temperature. for this smoker, the water tray is too small, I add a cheap tinfoil pan filled with water to the bottom shelf. Temps stay so even with that extra water.

Great set up. I have owned this smoker for 3 years. Love the ease of use. My meats always come out great. Duran15

Perfect customer service experience! My smoker was delivered next day from ordering. While the assembly took some time, there are excellent assembly videos available, so no issues there. The plastic inside the control knob was deformed, so it needed to be replaced. I called the customer service number, and it directed me to the website. I assumed I was now going to enter a never ending loop of frustration, but I filled out the form, uploaded the photos as required and hit send. I submitted the form at 5:30pm and at 7:30am the next morning, I received an E-mail stating that my case was reviewed and the part was processed for shipment! The part has arrived, and I couldn’t be happier with the smoker, but especially the customer service! Well done Masterbuilt!

Great for Beginers. I purchased this smoker many years ago as my introduction to smoking. never used it with charcoal only propane because it was easier for me as it was my first smoker ever. Many years later and different type of smokers, I recently bought me a second one just for the ease to smoked and the great smoky flavor (family and friends agreed) of many Mexicans diches I have learned to add smoke to them. And of course, pork ribs, it can handle up to 8r acks at the time. Great for a large gathering.

Unable to attain desired temperatures. Unable to get temperature below 180 degrees. Need it down to 110-120 degrees for drying of sausages before increasing temps to 130, 150 & 170 degrees. When I first contacted Masterbuilt about this problem they stated it was a faulty temperature regulator. It was under warranty so they sent me a new one which I had to install. They didn't even offer to have a certified tech respond to do the repairs. Problem still persists so I contacted Masterbuilt again. This time they stated this smoker is only for smoking at 200-400 degrees. There is nothing in the manual or advertisement that states this. Can't use this for the intended purpose of smoking sausages. It smokes too hot.

Perfect starter smooker. This is my second vertical smoker from Masterbuilt. I love the ease of use and the versatility. I have made many friends and family happy with the delicious products that I have concocted.

Masterbuilt, yes it is. Very well built smoker with plenty of room for smoking. Temperature control is also excellent. This unit replaced an electric smoker that never quite produced the needed smoke level and was very difficult to clean. This one is a huge improvement. Make sure when your smoking time is up, open the door slowly, or you will spread ashes around your smoked food. Highly recommend.

40” Wide Body solid steel propane/wood smoker 100%. Bought 2 from Bass Pro, Denham Springs, LA., between 2010-2016 , before they were discontinued! Cooked 3 brisket and 4 pork butts at one time , 67lb! Kept 10 half pans of holiday sides warm while frying turkeys! Ribs, rib roasts, wings, meatloaf before it became a thing.

Love it. I bought this smoker last year for my husband. He uses it all the time and loves it

Easy to load cooks great. Have had smoker for over ten years still cooks great

OMG.. Awesome Smoker. Received this smoker as a Christmas Present and OMG it is amazing. Everything i have cooked/Smoked on this has been Great. Easy assembly, easy to use, and the thermostatic control takes all the worries out of temp control. In fact, there are 2 racks of St Louis Style ribs on the smoker right now. Great Product that I Highly Recommend

2 broken right away. I bought 2 of the XL smokers and had them shipped to me overseas. The first one I setup and 4 months in the door welds for the hinges broke off. So I setup the second smoker three weeks ago and after four uses the burner control the you turn and press to fire up the smoker has already broken. After pressing and igniting the burner, I wait for a few seconds and then release from pressing on the control and the gas flow shuts off instantly and will not stay lit. So now the second brand new unit is also defective. I live on an island so getting parts or anything is a huge production and that is why I bought two of the smokers. After spending a $1,000 for the smokers with shipping them to the island, I have neither one working. Horrible products.

Smoking meat. Absolutely love this smoker

I won one on a bid for $40! The box it came in was a little beat up, but luckily everything was intact. So far, so good. I made wings, and they were beyond tender, with a good hint of smoke. Making ribs tonight!!

Quality product, long lasting. Had my sportsman elite smoker for 8 years now. Love it, would not buy anything other then Masterbuilt, great support on replacement parts, great recipe suggestions and still going strong after 8 years.

I Rub My Meat Before I Put It In. 2016, daughter getting married so I ordered a smoker to cook her reception food. Days till wedding, 4. The first one from amazon had a broken leg. Days till wedding, 3. The second one from Amazon came with caution tape wrapped around it with juice dripping out, FedEx guy said you may not want this, and the wife said absolutley not. Days till wedding, 2. I went to Ace Hardware down the streeet. The next morning I had a new Masterbuilt, Sportsmans Elite Smoker. Days till wedding, 1. I'm smoking all day and night. 4 pork shoulders, three briskets, and three bacon wrapped pork loins. Wedding day is here, and every guest said it was the best wedding food they have ever had and they all took some home. I smoke maybe 3 or 4 times a year. Three moths ago, we smoked a brisket, 4 pork shoulders, and 3 salmon fillets. All of the friends and family enjoy it greatly. We have a vacuum sealer, so when we smoke, we freeze the excess in the vacuum bags and heat later, up to a year. Tip, if you do freeze the meat, when you reheat it, use a steamer, that way it isn't dried out from double cooking, or boil in the bag.

Great Smoker. Love how consistent the heat is. .Make sure flame is blue and not orange. You do this by keeping all propane parts of smoker clean.

Your steaks will thank you! Master built is aces at many things and this smoker is no exception! My smoker makes my steaks taste like heaven. This product is easy to use, easy to clean, and always grills evenly. I love to use it for my steaks. I highly recommend this product to anyone seeking a quality product at an excellent price.

Smokes like a champ! This is my third vertical smoker from Masterbuilt and when everyone is dragging out their “fancy” smokers, I will use this unit in competition against anyone!

If you can eat it, smoke it! This my second Masterbuilt smoker I have bought. I literally used the last until it fell apart! I've smoked everything from pork, chicken, beef to corn and even Mac & cheese. Only complaints I've gotten are from the ones that didn't get any. Pretty sure the smoker is the only reason my wife stays married to me!

Masterbuilt two door 30” propane smoker. Bought this smoker and love the results it produces. The four shelves allows for multiple meats, poultry, fish, and vegetables at the same time.

I would not go camping without this smoker. This propane Masterbuilt smoker is a must for our camping trips. We use it every time out and it makes the other campers hungry. We have used it for Thanksgiving outings. This smoker adapts easily to our propane tanks on the trailer. A must for every trip.
