Masterbuilt 20070106 30-Inch Electric Smokehouse Smoker

Deliciously cured meats, fish and jerky will be a snap when you serve them straight from a Masterbuilt 20070106 30-inch electric smokehouse smoker, conveniently set up on your porch or deck.
 
Smoking meats and fish is a great method of preparing foods. Centuries ago before refrigeration, man had to find a way to preserve meat to keep them sustained through long periods of winter when butchering animals was unfeasible. Smoking provided just the process by curing the red meats and fish using the smoke from indirect fires. With the Masterbuilt 20070106, it is possible to process large quantities of meats in one session due to its spacious interior featuring four smoking racks. Whereas in the early days, the fire had to be continually monitored for even heating, the Masterbuilt is thermostatically controlled so that the temperature remains perfect throughout its usage. It can also be set for the time period that is anticipated until the completion of the smoking; shutting itself off automatically after the preset time expires.
 
Even those who are novice meat smokers will find the Masterbuilt 20070106 30-inch electric smokehouse smoker to be user friendly. Push button digital controls take the guesswork out setting temperature and times. In addition, the side load wood tray is not only easy to add chips but safer than other models, as well.
 
Cleaning up after the smoking is done will be as easy as the smoking itself. A pull out drip pan provides easy access to drippings that occur normally, and once completely removed it is simple to clean. The grease pan, which is mounted on the rear of the unit, is equally as easy to clean up after use.
 
While the majority of comments regarding this product have been positive, a few negatives have also been noted. Getting the unit repaired can sometimes be a challenge, as one consumer found when trying to replace the heating unit; only to find out there is no replacement part. The door seems to be poorly constructed, with the hinge prone to breakage and the door seal seemingly unstable and fragile. Several consumers remarked that a higher temperature would be desirable, as certain foods require more heat.
 
The Masterbuilt 20070106 30-inch electric smokehouse smoker is an excellent choice for the money, and provides quality performance as well as ease in use for both novice and the most experienced of smokers. The heat of the summer can be much more enjoyable with deliciously smoked meats fresh from this unit to serve to family and friends in your backyard barbeques.
