When I called the company to find out where the meat goes, I was told that this isn't a smoker, it's a smoke generator. why not call it that instead of veiled references to compatibility with other smokers

We apologize for any confusion. The Slow Smoker is an attachment intended to be used with the main unit. It is meant for creating those low-temp smoking conditions for items like cheese and fish. Hopefully you'll hang on to your Slow Smoker and consider looking into getting the main smoker to go along with it - allowing you to make all your favorite foods with some awesome flavors! Please let us know if we can assist you in any way. We would love to keep you as a Masterbuilt Customer Family Member! Masterbuilt

    Wasnt even a slow cooler like i thought it was. Apparently its just the part that holds the coal stuff and not the part that cooks the food. I returned it. I call false advertising.

    We apologize for any confusion. Our Slow Smoker is an attachment unit meant to go alongside the main smoker unit. It provides low temps and smoke in the main unit for items like fish and cheese that need to be smoked at those mild temperatures. Masterbuilt

    Unit works as advertised, the caveat is that it produces too much heat to cold smoke. A way around this is to run a 3" duct from the cold smoker to your regular smoker that not only allows the smoke to cool, but also will assist in preventing as much creosote from entering your main smoker. I think the unit is fairly priced for what it does.

    I was disappointed in the finish was coming off in spots on the water pan after the thing was used for the third time. I did not like the fact the plastic goes into the smoking area at the entrance where the door is. Some of the plastic looks likes it has melt a little. I was thinking there should be metal and not plastic just inside the door seal area.

    The smoke that was created from this unit was dirty smoke lots of creosote and yes I use several different types of chips without soaking. The reason I purchased this unit was because the original 30 in Masterbuilt smoker did not produce enough smoke. Which after reading other reviews that seems to be a problem with the 30 inch smoker. Seems to me Masterbuilt should have offered this additional product for free to enhance their original product that did not work properly but instead you have to pay $58 for it. Shame on them

    We are sorry to hear that you are not happy with your Slow Smoker Attachment. This is never what we want to hear and apologize for any inconvenience. Did you experience the issue when pre-seasoning the unit as well? There shouldn't be a high level of creosote burning off the unit if it is brand new. You may want to try a different type and amount of wood as creosote is a byproduct of the wood, not the unit. We definitely want you to be a happy Masterbuilt customer so if you believe there is an issue with your Slow Smoker's operation, we would be more than happy to assist you with troubleshooting the unit! Please give us a call? We're open Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm EST and our number is 800-489-1581. Masterbuilt

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us regarding your cover for your smoker! We're glad to hear you are happy with it! It is true, at certain temps, it is necessary to add chips more often, but it is worth it in the end to get that awesome smokey flavor! All that attention you put in likely resulted in an awesome plate of food! Masterbuilt

    I'm very disappointed with this product. It would be great and simple design, but it's the paint in interior that totally ruins the whole idea. Mine, after one night, spoiled the whole load of meat. The paint released terrible smell to my smoker and I spent 3 days scraping the paint off.

    Response from Masterbuilt Tech SupportSep 27, 2017
    We are very sorry to hear this! Did you complete the seasoning process prior to using the unit to cook the first time? It is necessary to let the smoker run for a first round and complete a burn off before cooking in it. Also, the interior of our units does not have paint on them, for many reasons. We're not sure what has happened in your case, but we hope you'll allow us to assist you with it. Please give us a call @ 800-489-1581. We're available to you Mon-Fri, 8am-5pm EST. Masterbuilt

    Response from Masterbuilt Tech SupportSep 5, 2017
    Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts on your new smoker. You do have to add chips to the unit occasionally throughout the cooking process, however, if you'd like to burn the chips a little slower, you can try lowering your temperature a bit, adding a bit more water, and/or increasing the cook time length. This will not eliminate the need for adding chips to the smoker completely. That will still be a task at hand while using the unit, but it is the best way to get that great flavor from your finished foods! Masterbuilt
