I recently purchased this smoker and I can say that its an absolute tank. The assembly was easy but give yourself some time to put it together. After the initial burn, I have done a brisket and some ribs and couldn't be happier. The construction of the smoker and the double wall really kept the temperature consistent and the smoke tray really added the flavor I was looking for. I think I am really going to like this smoker

I've owned my brands of pellet grills over the years. I really like the build quality of this one. The smoke box is what sold me on this. No having WIFI isn't a big deal for me. I do wish low setting would go to 180 or had a smoke setting. Also 5-degree increment would be a nice feature. I'm hoping an updated controller in in the works. I read the reviews before purchasing so I was prepared to get the wood chucks burning on low heat. Overall, I'm very pleased with this grill. I'm so impressed with the members mark pro series quality I replaced my gas grill, charcoal grill. I got all three for less than I paid for rec tec 1100 few years ago. I'm hoping to find the members mark pro series griddle on clearance soon then I'll have the complete set.

Poor choice for smoker and here's why. After cooking a verity of foods, burgers, roast and brisket the follow are the problems I experienced. It will not hold temperature at an acceptable range, it will deviate as much as 60 degrees +/-. The grease catch is under the cooker and behind the frame so it's hard to get to. The meat probes when setting side by side have a reading 20 degrees different from each other regardless of which port they are plugged into. These issues out weigh the heavy build, included cover and side burner. I returned mine and do not recommend this brand of grill / smoker.

Cons- damaged parts received Pros- so freaking easy to use. A true set and forget kind of cooking. Sooo much easier than charcoal smoking. I smoked 2 racks of pork ribs, a 12lb brisket, and a Boston butt. 6 hours at 225 and ribs were too tender to cut. I'm used to it taking 6-8 hours on my old smoker. 2 meat probes is perfect because 7 hours in, I can easily check both hunks of meat still on the grill. So excited! Get your fave pellets- not much flavor with the Sams bag. I'm used to a forward hickory flavor.

Bought September 2023 and it worked somewhat until Aug 2024. Contacted members mark support and they diagnosed bad control board. (Probably hadn’t worked correctly since purchase but it’s our first smoker so didn’t know) Of course out of stock. Been contacting and still no ship. It’s football season!!! Need my smoker to work.

I have had this grill for 4 months, smoked ribs, pork butts, pork belly, roasts and grilled steaks, chicken, dogs, etc. It works fantastic. The side burner is a plus for keeping the kitchen clean when sautéing or frying. I am floored by the amount of smoke flavor it produces. The only draw back I can see is that it is not WiFi enabled, however I purchased a great WiFi meat thermometer and have still spent less than half of the money I was planning to. Great construction and seems to be very well built

I've been researching pellet grills for the past few months now. I finally got to the point where i narrowed it down to two brands/models i liked. However, i couldn't justify spending $800-$1000+ on a pellet grill, so my plan was to wait a few more months and watch for spring sales. I started seeing 'chatter' regarding this new Member's Mark pellet grill with built-in smoke box and was genuinely impressed by the features i read online. On a whim, i decided to check it out in person (thankfully my local Sam's Club had some in-stock). After taking a look at the display model and comparing to other brands i've seen in person, this grill was a no brainer. Took me about 2 hours to put together. I followed the instructions and did the first cure/season last night. It was in the high 30's and windy, but had no trouble staying at temp +/- 6 degrees. After 45 minutes i turned it down to 200 degrees before initiating shut down mode, it took about an hour and a half for it to go down from 400 to 200 because its so well insulated. Pros: - Well built, heavy duty steel (dang near 200lbs). - The body is oval so Its taller vertically. More height. - Gaskets on both the main door and fire box door for better seal. - Vents in the back, angled downward. The wind doesn't affect as much as others brands with tall chimneys - Built in smoke box for wood chunks/charcoal - Double walled insulated, to keep the heat in. - 920sq inches!! - Includes cover and sausage hooks - Induction burner - All parts were clearly labeled and the instructions were well detailed - PRICE! Cons: - No wifi - 25 degree increments - Temp range is 200-500 (I wish it went a little lower than 200). This is a new grill made by Even Embers for Sam's under the Member's Mark brand. From what I've read, this is the first pellet grill this company has made for Sam's. All other pellet grills are made by other manufactures, so the reviews, quality, customer service can not be compared to others offered by Sam's. I haven't cooked anything yet, but will very very soon.

I have literally owned dozens of pellet smokers over the past 20 years, and this is the greatest one I've owned to date. The build is excellent. Ive been cooking on it for a little over a month now and I've done briskets, pork butts, chicken, ribs, steaks, pork belly, beans, and so much more. The hopper capacity is awesome, and I love how evenly it cooks across the entire grill. I assure you, this will not disappoint you. I havent even used the induction burner yet. Thats just an added perk. The price to value is top notch. Seriously considering buying a second one just to have as a backup.

This smoker far exceeded my family's expectations: We currently have two other smokers that are more expensive and the Member's Mark Far exceeds them in terms of: 1. Greater Efficiency: Food is not over smoked and cooks faster, great air circulation 2. Ease of Operation: No WIFI headaches, other grills that have the WIFI are unreliable at times and these probes connect directly to the built in Temperature Gage that has a huge readout that we can see from the deck where the smoker is to inside the home. 3. Huge Hopper for pellets, you don't have to constantly go out and refill the hopper. 4. Easier cleanup, The bottom stainless tray is tilted allowing grease to flow in the outside grease bucket, great engineering design through out this entire unit. The grills clean up easier than most grills. 5. Has Heavy Duty Wheels on One Side 6. Great amount of room with upper rack included 7. Hooks for smoking home made sausages 8. Quality cover is included 9. Side induction stove 10. Much less wattage of electricity, important for long cooking times So Ffar we have made the most tender delicious smoked ribs and pork shoulder and now my spouse likes smoked food that isn't over cooked and I am not outside sweating all day baby sitting cooking efforts. TIPS: When first igniting the pellets, open up the smoker to get a clean burn for just a few minutes and the air flow brings the temperature up even faster and if the temperature after a long time of cooking starts to stay the same or doesn't rise as expected, check the pellet hopper, you may have to add some more pellets so the auger in the hopper can create more fire by pushing more pellets in the igniter. Pick up your smoker pellets at Sam's Club, quality results at one of the lowest prices. My wife never liked smoked meats until now with the combination of this Member's Mark Pellet Smoker and the Pellets From Sam's Club. Now we smoke meat at least once a week!

Broke after third cooking. First the controller display went out and the company that manufactures the unit sent a replacement. Then the pellet box started to smoke because augur stopped turning. They sent a replacement motor and a third controller, but augur still wont turn to feed pellets. Spent hours on trying to fix it and it’s WAY WAY WAY too heavy and bulky to return to the store for replacement.
