    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

    K.C. Smoker is discontinued

    Am I to understand that RIVAL no longer makes the KC Smoker? I am an RVer, and purchased one at Christmas and have been using when we travel. It is small enough to pack in the RV and does turn out some good Q. Is there anything else on the market that is similar? Thanks

    Rival K.C. Smoker

    That is a GREAT buy. We love our unit. We RV, Snowbirds. The rival unit rides in the tow car and setup on a table outside RV. Its nice to do Q with a min of stuff to lug around. It turns out great Q but must check temp as thermostat seems off. Its also great to have a oven to use outside the RV.
