  • A $500 masterbuilt for $100 anything is one hell of a deal.
  • Parent context: Then why buy expensive masterbuilt Reply: Because it holds temperature within 5 degrees and can be adjusted from 225-700 from inside of your house and minimal experience.
  • I saw this deal for the master built and I know it doesn’t use pellets but can produce a stronger Smokey flavor.
  • Get the MB (Masterbuilt) you can put wood splits in the charcoal hopper making it just as much effort as a pellet smoker but with much better flavour.

Cons

  • Fun smoker, easy to make delicious food, awful build quality
  • She said to get one that lasts. That’s not Masterbuilt. I had one.
  • I do not own a masterbuilt, but I have heard a trusted source refer to them as "disposable smokers".
  • Please no masterbuilt.
  • Masterbuilt and Chargriller are the two cheaper commercial brands but there’s also custom ones that are better constructed with a bigger price tag.

It was my starter smoker 7-ish years ago, and it it still serves me well. Through a mistake of my own making I broke the heating element, but found that it was an easy replacement. It's simple enough that it's easy to repair, and spare parts are easy to find.
