Got a Masterbuilt Cookmaster electric smoker cheap recently. First electric smoker and its pretty basic but have been quite happy with it. Gets to 250-260 on warm days. There are no vent/exhausts to adjust so might be a bit limited but a little work down the road and I could fix that.
I've done one hot smoke on it, chicken and turkey breast. Wife and kids liked it which was a first for smoked food (normally I do it on charcoal grill before but got tired of too much work and poor results). I recently got myself and AMNPS and decided to give it a trial run. Let it go for half hour or so and worked perfect. Didn't add any temp to the smoker so cold smoking is now an option for me. Saturday was a beautiful day here in Canada, about 70oF outside and I had a block of mozza for some pizzas but decided it needed to be smoked. Had about 3/4 of one tunnel in the ANMPS filled with Pitmasters blend. Think it smoked for about 3 hours (was gone after 2 and it was till going). Here's the QView:
Vacuum sealed up the blocks and threw them in the freezer to age for a week. Looking forward to some home made pizzas next week! if it turns out I'll be heading to Costco to stock up and do a big cheese smoke.
