Massive Smoker!

Good sturdy construction. Easy to clean racks and supports by just putting them in the dishwasher. Wipe down interior while still hot helps with basic cleanup. Cavity temperature stable to within +/-7 degrees. Probe temperature not accurate and measures +20 degrees, as compared to an accurate instant probe. Bluetooth feature is great for keeping eyes on the temp, while doing other things. Bluetooth app is a little buggy. Overall impression: It's an effective smoker that looks good and has the capacity for party smoking requirements.

It's a good smoker but with some reservations

I have just bought this Masterbuilt MES 340G Bluetooth smoker. I have had two other Masterbuilt smokers one 30 in and another 40 in and they both work very well. I did not buy this Masterbuilt Bluetooth smoker for the Bluetooth function and glad that I didn't because it does not work very well. If you get your cell phone more than 30 feet away from the smoker it loses connection. Or if you're in the house you have to be closer than that to be connected with the Bluetooth function. However if you keep your mobile device close enough it does work fine. The second thing that disappoints me in the way the smoker Cooks is that it doesn't leave an adequate smoke ring. I recently cooked a 15 lb brisket for 10 hours and when we cut into it there was no smoke ring. I have cooked numerous briskets on other smokers and had no problem with obtaining a smoke ring but with this smoker it was non-existent. The flavor was good but no smoke ring. It is for these two reasons that I rated it with a 3 hope this helps anyone else.

Nicely insulated, Great Smoke but has issues

Uninsulated/single pane window fog's from moisture. The interior light comes on only when you open the door, losing heat., making the uninsulated/single pane window and light useless. Bluetooth has a very short working distance. Heat source is on one side causing the meat to cook faster on that side. Requires you to open the door and move meat around for even cooking. For the price its a great smoker. An interior circulator fan would be a Great option for even cooking. Works great even when outside temp hovers around 0 deg.

Simply outstanding period

I absolutely love this smoker. Easy assembly and excellent tempature control within +/- 5 degrees of set temperature. With 4 grates there's plenty of room to smoke several foods at once. I've had my Masterbuilt smoker for approximately 2 months and have I've smoked boneless turkey breast, 2 briskets, 3 slabs of baby backs and even corn on the cob. Only 1 small issues with the Bluetooth in that it's a little different to stay connected. My rating is 4 1/2 stars.

Works like a Charm

I was somewhat hesitant to purchase this product after reading various reviews but decided to proceed with purchasing anyway. I've had it for a couple of weeks and have already smoked 5 racks of ribs and a brisket. ALL of them came out perfect!! The temp holds within 4 degrees and is really simple to operate. The only drawback might be the proximity of the bluetooth app. You can't set it and then run off to the store while hoping to monitor, the range is about 75 ft. You can bypass the bluetooth for longer cook times (ie. brisket). I like it so much, I actually purchased a second one.

Holds heat; mobile!

Assembly takes far longer than the suggested 25 minutes, but I took the time to verify, separate, and organize all components and hardware. No issues with assembly, but it's much easier with a second person due to its bulky nature. It's very easy to move from garage to outdoors; even steps are negotiable. Far as operation, does exactly as advertised. Holds heat nicely when you need to get inside for transitions, and it used fewer chips than I expected. Resulting ribs were great! I took the time to properly season machine in advance. My proven 3-2-1 method for ribs is based on hours, not temp; so I'll probably only use the meatprobe when trying something unfamiliar. Machine cleans up easily, but after only 1 use, the window becomes gritty and pointless. Overall, I'm happy thus far. Will the unit endure? That remains to be seen. If the electric heating element lasts 4 good years, I'll return and give it a 5th star.

Large capacity

Great smoker over all, 2nd one I've owned. Wish it came with a stand to raise it up a little. Bluetooth option is a great idea but the range is horrible, if your buying just for this option don't, you'll be frustrated and disappointed. Overall 9 out of 10 on this smoker quality, capacity, multiple features for the cost. Once they figure out the Bluetooth option it'll be a slam dunk.

Solid, Easy to use!

I'm a first time smoker buyer, and am very happy with the 340G! The ease of use of the electric smoker is great, and it produces a nice cabinet of smoke. The construction is solid and it was easy to assemble. The controls are good, but hard to read in the full sun. The internal temp probe is reasonably accurate - about 10-15 degrees F off. You will need a separate multichannel temp probe. I smoked a full packer brisket and some trout so far and they turned out great. You do have to add wood chips every hour or so, but that's okay. The temp has to be monitored anyway. When it got windy, I got temperature spikes and had to play with it a bit. As long as the external wind is reasonably constant, it seems to be pretty stable from a temp perspective. It's easy to clean, and easy to use. Great smoker, particularly for a beginner like me.

I'm happy to be back actually smoking again

I purchased the smoker about a month ago and have used it probably 8 or 10 times since I got it. I've done everything from country style ribs to pulled pork to uncured kielbasa to London Broil and the results have been great. I own several other grills in gas and charcoal, as well as a pellet grill. The ability to actually use wood chips for smoke adds so much to the flavor of the meats that I haven't fired up the pellet grill since I got my Masterbuilt.

It's worth it

My husband received this for Fathers Day and absolutely loves it...along with the rest of the family:) The meat comes out tender and delicious! If I HAD to come up with any complaint at all, it would just be the cleaning part. We did find it very helpful to use a hot water and apple cider vinegar mixture to wipe everything down with!
