The 30 inch Masterbuilt is a very good smoker and at a decent price - at least at the price I got mine at. I had never used an electric smoker. I was concerned the meat would not taste as good as it would when I use my charcoal grill. Not a problem. The 1st time I used the Masterbuilt electric smoker; we had 20 people over. I used a handful of cherry wood chips to start and another handful at the halfway point of my cooking session. My ribs (10 racks), chicken and sausage came out succulent with a proper smoke flavor. The best indicators the meat is good; just about everybody goes for a second helping, the sound of silence because everybody is eating rather than talking, your guests want to take some meat home with them, there are no leftovers and you see the bones were "picked clean". I never, ever thought I would say this but, I think the electric smoker will be my 1st choice for BBQ. I was able to spend more time socializing with our friends rather than worrying about flare ups, hot spots, etc. Clean up is very easy. I waited a few months to submit my review in order to have used the smoker enough times to properly review it.

Love my new smoker! Takes a little experimenting to learn how much smoke to use for what meats. I followed the max amount on my first few tries and then cut back on the wood chips. Love the remote! Can check progress of cooking with meat probe and smoker temperature and time left from inside the house, awesome! Its not quite the same as a charcoal smoker but a whole lot easier!
