40-Inch Digital Electric Smoker with Window and Legs

Leg-stand version of the 40-Inch Digital Electric Smoker adding a viewing window, same 970 sq in cooking area and 100-275°F digital control.

$399Approx. MSRP

Fine for a beginner who wants the legs and doesn't mind the window becoming mostly useless after a few smokes -- buy it for the size and height, not the view.

Pros

  • Legs raise the unit off the ground, making loading and monitoring easier
  • Large 40" capacity for bigger cooks
  • Window offers an early-cook glance before it fogs over
  • Loads of cooking room — 970 sq in feeds a crowd
  • Easy on the wallet ($399)

Watch-outs

  • Window becomes largely cosmetic once smoke residue builds up
  • Reported inconsistency between set and actual temperature
  • Same small chip-tray and cold-weather insulation limits as other Masterbuilt electric smokers
  • Few obvious weak spots for the money

Known niggles

  • Viewing window fogs and builds up a smoke film quickly, making it hard to actually see inside after the first cook or two
  • Temperature variance of 30-50°F between the console reading and actual internal temperature reported by some owners
  • Heating element can stay off longer than expected, causing temperature to dip below the set point
