Have It!!! Love It!!! You won't hear one complaint out of me. I like the fact that it allows me to use it on the covered back deck. Rain, snow, or sun I can always smoke something.. Good smokes
I have the 30" and the only complaint I have is the meat probe thermometer does not work the greatest and is going haywire. I could call Masterbuilt and they could probably fix it but i don't use it anyway. I have a good grilling thermometer already that I use.
I would suggest getting a AMNPS and using pellets. otherwise you will be stuck refilling with wood chips every 30-60 minutes.
Overall it's a great unit. The only thing I would do differently is get a 40" instead of the 30.
Maybe someday I'll convince my wife to let me buy a traeger or yoder pellet smoker/grill.
I tore a analog MES Sportsman Elite down to individual components last month and modded it to be a super snack stick and jerky machine! I'm using a "all in one" Auber Instruments PID controller box to control the temps. Pellet tray for smoke.
