30-Inch Digital Electric Smoker

710 sq in, 4-rack digital electric smoker in Masterbuilt's compact 30-inch body, 100-275°F range, no window.

$249Approx. MSRP

A good first smoker for a beginner cooking for a small household who wants digital simplicity without a large footprint.

Pros

  • Simple digital set-and-forget temperature control
  • Compact 30" footprint fits smaller patios and yards
  • Budget-friendly way into digital electric smoking
  • Loads of cooking room — 710 sq in feeds a crowd
  • Easy on the wallet ($249)

Watch-outs

  • Smaller cooking capacity than the 40" models, limits bigger cuts or multiple racks
  • Same cold-weather and door-seal issues as the rest of the digital electric line
  • Chip tray runs out often on longer smokes
  • Few obvious weak spots for the money

Known niggles

  • Temperature swings of roughly ±20-30°F are normal and worsen if the door seal degrades over a few seasons
  • Struggles in cold or windy weather due to thin insulation
  • Small wood chip tray needs refilling roughly every 30-45 minutes on long cooks
