This review is from: Masterbuilt 30-Inch Electric Smokehouse Smoker with Window and RF Controller (Lawn & Patio)
I am not an expert but a consumer that does a lot of research before buying something like this. This model has many improvements over the "Non-RF" model:
1) Wheels that work when the unit is tilted, (caveat: the slide on grease drip tray must be removed before you can tilt and roll.)
2) A light inside the unit, (caveat, It's a little hard to see the meat with the smoke and smoke "grim" on the inside of the huge window but still very nice feature.)
3) The meat thermometer. It is a real needed item on this type of smoker. You never have to open the door to check the temperature. *I double checked it against my own digital thermometer and it runs true within a degree or two.
4) A handheld remote control. No AAA batteries included, (2 req.) You can program the time & temp as well as check the meat probe temp & switch the light on & off. You cannot see the current temp of the smoker, i.e.; watch it rise to the temp you set. To do this just look at the display on top of... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Would recommend to anyone., November 29, 2010
This review is from: Masterbuilt 30-Inch Electric Smokehouse Smoker with Window and RF Controller (Lawn & Patio)
I just bought this on Black Friday at Bass Pro Shop for 179.94 + tax. I used it to smoke a Boston Butt, Whole Chicken Wings, Turkey Legs, and Some Mac and Cheese. Everything turned out great so far.

It is super easy to use. The Remote control is amazing. It allows you to monitor the tempature of the smoker plus the tempature of the meat probe. The tempature control works really well. It heated a little above 225 after I added some wood chips but the tempature was easily conrolled by opening the vent up a little. Adding wood chips are a breeze. I plan on smoking a whole turkey soon and maybe some ribs.

The internal light helps when you are loading and unloading the meat into the smoker.

The only Con is the glass window. Once you start smoking meat it gets smokey and dirty fairly fast but you can still see in.

Masterbuilt has some really good youtube videos on this smoker and some tips for using their electric smokers. Thats where I got the... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterbuilt 30" Electronic Smokehouse with remote control, May 15, 2011

This review is from: Masterbuilt 30-Inch Electric Smokehouse Smoker with Window and RF Controller (Lawn & Patio)
I'm very pleased with this unit and have been using it a great deal. So far I have smoked eight racks of beef ribs, two sirlion tip roasts, hot peppers, corn, and black tipped shark!

I love my beef roasts rare and really appreciate how easy it is to get good results with the temp control and the internal meat probe this unit has. The remote control allows me to keep a close eye on things without being tied to the thing. A very nice feature.

I feel that this was a good purchase and represents an excellent value. It will see a lot of use!

***I just wanted to add a quick edit*** here to address what some others have been saying about the remote control.

While it is not obvious, you CAN get the temp reading for the inside of the smoker on the remote and it can be done in two ways:

Either push the temp set button twice which will cause the readout to flash between the temp setting and the actual temperature inside the smoker for ten... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Brinkmann electric smoker, February 23, 2012

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Vertical Electric Smoker (Lawn & Patio)
I purchased this smoker basically for the ease of use and because I also own a Brinkmann propane gas grill. The overall quality is good for the price I paid. Assembling the smoker was easy and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. There were no missing parts and the smoker went together quickly. Another reason I purchased this smoker is the availability of replacement parts from the Brinkmann website if any are needed in the future. The control for the heater element is simple, just like an electric skillet. You will need an temperature probe to monitor the temperature as the one on the door is not that accurate. I am pleased with the smoker and would recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Smokes great however made cheap, January 30, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Vertical Electric Smoker (Lawn & Patio)
I oredered this smoker and it was very easy to assemble , the smoker works great the water pan is too small which means you must keep a close eye on the smoker to ensure water does not run out and your meat gets dry . After the first use the temp. guage quit working , i figured i would still use. However after the second use the plug in prong melted and i can no longer use it . I am currently waiting on replacement and hopefully will not have the same problems. I would not buy this product it is not worth the money , Lowes has a better smoker that is half the price and has a much bigger water pan .

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible design, worse performance, February 13, 2012
This review is from: Char-Broil Vertical Gas Smoker (Lawn & Patio)
First when I opened the packaging, the metal box portion of the smoker had broken welds. To Charbroil's credit they did send a new box and sent it very quickly. So the weekend arrived, I assembled the unit, cranked it up, put my favorite rub on some ribs, and threw them in the smoker. I was hoping for some great ribs. What came out of the smoker was just a step or two above dog food.

I have owned this smoker for nearly 2 years since then, and it has never cooked a piece of meat I can say I have been happy to serve to my family. It is still in beautiful shape because I never use it anymore.

The unit is poorly designed. The wood chips and the water in the same pan. They are separated by a metal ridge but, if you crank up the heat enough to get the smoker to about 225�, the water in the pan boils. You end up steaming the meat instead of smoking it. The meat comes out gray and very unappetizing. If you don't put water in the pan the meat comes out dried out... Read more
