I bought this unit a few months ago. It was a floor model from Field and Stream. Knowing that, I was prepared for it to be damaged, but it fired up just fine in the store and I brought it home. Everything worked great except the Bluetooth and the app, which are clunky and frankly unnecessary to the function of the unit. Who is going to keep their phone in Bluetooth range for an entire 14 hour smoke? Deleted the app after the first time. Indicator light for the smoke box on/off status just stopped working sometimes, but would come back on if you unplug the unit and reboot it (not just turn off at the switch). Those things were minor and just annoying. Next, the meat probe stopped working. Turns out that the stainless braid on the wire is the ground and if it detaches from either end of the wire, the probe stops working. That's pretty normal for a temp sensor design, but for something intended for food and to be washed, I would expect a better design. Finally, the unit stopped working and threw fault codes for the main temperature sensor/element. I have purchased almost every spare part still available for the unit so I can keep it up and running or rebuild it as necessary. Considering the discount I received at purchase for the floor model, I was able to get those parts and still be under the original retail price for the unit. That being said, if I had paid retail this review would be very different. Also, to do it over, I wouldn't have purchased the electronic controlled model now that I see how easily it fails and/or glitches. Also, the glass door is totally unnecessary (can't see through it when smoking anyway) and a heat loss liability. I've learned that in the case of smokers, simple and efficient is preferable.

Bluetooth doesn't work properly and the hinges for the door came warped.in shipping, so the door doesn't always stay shut. Also doesn't fit 8 pork butts unless you want them uncooked and still raw after 14 hours of smoking. The product smokes well, but the quality of the machine is not great. I wouldn't buy it again.

This is my third smoker and by far the best. This smoker has seen a lot of food last summer I smoked rib roast pork butt many racks of ribs and also smoked mac and cheese. I also purchased a smoker for my Daughter and they use it constantly also. I also have a Masterbuilt turkey fryer which I love it makes the best turkeys. Smokers very easy to use.

This is good as an addition to a collection of smokers like I have, or your only smoker if you have limited space. It is great for longer cooks since you don't have to add pellets or charcoal, just a few scoops of wood chips in the first hour or two. One drawback is the small size. You can't fit a full brisket or a full slab of ribs so keep that in mind.

My wife got me this for my birthday. It's super easy to use and so far the results have been excellent. For a small dinner or feeding 30 at a birthday party, this smoker pulls through! Cleanup is pretty easy, and we all look forward to the next use!

I have had a 30” Masterbuilt for more than a decade, but it finally succumbed to the elements (salt air as I keep it outside at my beach house). Love this larger model, and got it for about the same amount I spent on my 30” a decade ago. It was delivered in good condition and quickly, and I love the large capacity, the internal meat thermometer, and the Bluetooth, which let me monitor the meat from inside the house. I've smoked wings, a prime rib, and made a smo-fried turkey for Thanksgiving. Couldn't be happier.

I got this smoker after having the 30 inch model for a couple of years. I loved that 30 inch model because I had the cold smoker attachment that I used as the primary source of smoke. I loved being able to cold smoke cheese etc. So I figured I'd upgrade to the larger 40 inch model to accommodate a full rack of ribs or just a lot more meat. I got my new model for Christmas 2019. I made a huge mistake in not paying attention to the reviews. It's poorly designed and ruins more meat with its lack of temperature consistency. Because the heating element and smoke box are both inside of the main compartment- you have two heat sources making it difficult to maintain a consistent temperature. The wood chunks will often catch on fire causing the temperature to spike 50-100 degrees. The wood chunk box is so small that you can barely fit chunks from most suppliers into it without needed to chop them into smaller pieces. And they don't make a cold smoker attachment for it either! Poor design in multiple ways. The Bluetooth feature is so weak that if I'm more that 10 feet away I have lost connectivity. Not to mention the multiple times I've had to remove and add the same smoker to get it to function. I'm in the market for a new smoker

This was given to me as a gift since I expressed interest in doing some smoking. The product is well built and works as expected but the set up instructions could be a bit more detailed and I had some questions about the timing on some of the recipes (they seem too short). The bluetooth works well but wifi would be better to allow for more range. Looking forward to learning more about this product and doing some more cooking with it.

I bought this smoker because I have a large family who loves smoked meat! Ribs, chicken, and do not even get me started on the turkeys! Smoked turkey is the only way it should be cooked! It saves time and energy tending a fire while still giving a delicious smoky flavor.

Smoker works very well but the Bluetooth range is about 8 feet! I mainly bought it for the Bluetooth, and the window. My $12 earphones have waaay better Bluetooth range. What's even the point of having Bluetooth if you have to almost be within arm's reach? It also disconnects every few minutes and sometimes won't reconnect!
