    Newbie-New MasterBuilt SmokeHouse ???'s

    They are in the SEASONAL section. Usually infront of the frozen food section. They are with gas grills,patio furniture etc. I just looked on Sam website, they are not listed. When MaMa gets back, I'll ask her for receipt for the SKU #. You might be able to have it shipped to local Sams. Jerry
