## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product if it arrives unbroken!
*by T***N on November 6, 2023*

This is a GREAT portable charcoal grill. Superior gravity feed design. The problem is that the hinges on the two we bought through Amazon arrived broken. Amazon nicely replaced the first, no charge, but refused to send a replacement for the second one, but did provide a refund. Best bought through a big box store, as the drive to your door could end in disappointment, as mine did!Update: Well, the journey through Masterbuilt land has been . . . uh . . uh . . .well, let's just say . .interesting! The design of this grill was perfect, well except for the manifold, but you can mod that with heavy duty aluminum foil. The product you can turn out on it it is super! The sad truth is, though, the build on these grills is, unfortunately, too light weight! And by the time you replace all the things that will eventually fail on the Portable Electric Smoker Grill, you could have bought yourself a new grill! Also, unless you are an industrial engineer, with a minor in applied mechanics, forget using any of the PDF files (if you can find them), that Masterbuit provides on their terribly designed GUI unfriendly website. The one saving grace is that their customer service department is quite helpful! (Ask for Heather!)Masterbuilt has a frecking GREAT idea here!!! They just cut corners implementing the idea! Just be resigned that unless you actually ARE an industrial engineer, with a minor in applied mechanics, you'll need to buy a new one each year, as they fail (usually just after the warrenty runs out) about that time!If you can't afford to replace it yearly (or won't), look to some other brand! But you won't find a better design/idea for a portable smoke- grill than Masterbuilt has come up with!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great lil portable smoker
*by F***N on May 2, 2023*

This lil smoker got me back into smoking. I used to smoke semi frequently with a Weber bullet but when the number of meat eaters at my home dwindled I decided it wasn't worth the hassle. I'm not the biggest fan of smoked leftovers but now I can smoke for 2 people and not feel like I wasted a bunch of charcoal only smoking for two.Here's pros/consProsSize, portability, temp control, and so far it seems like a high quality product that is built to lastConsThe grate isn't great for smoking. It's is essentially a sold piece of metal with some slits. So you really only get the smoke ring on 3 sides of your meat. I'll be replacing it with a grate that has better airflow under the meat.Their temp gauge is off.... it's a fair amount warmer than it says on the lid. I know you shouldn't depend on a temp gauge in a lid but I cant find my probes so on my first smoke when i was ready to foil my meat was already over 180°. This problem will be resolved when I find my probes.My handles are terrible. I thought since I just bought the grill I'd have the new slimmed down handles that are in the product photos but no. The old style handles are huge and make the grill a bit awkward to carry yourself. It essentially makes the grill's footprint 25-30% larger since the stick out so far. I really wish it had the new style handles. Not sure if I will be able to find an aftermarket solution but have thought about bending the handles upwards.NeutralThe paint they used on the hinges isn't heat safe. Saw a review that claimed the hinges are plastic and that's not the case. The bubbling is the paint only. It bubbled the first time I fired up the grill. I don't think it's a big deal but it would have been nice to either have the right paint used of just not paint the hinges.So there's definitely some room for improvement but so far I am really liking this grill. After a few tweaks I'm sure I'll love it. I'm just happy to be smoking again.

### ⭐ Overpriced junk.
*by J***S on June 7, 2025*

Absolute junk and wont last. Over the two years I have had it Ive replaced the base because the fan stops working. This is an absolute waste of money and I'll never touch this crappy brand again. Overpriced junk.
