Masterbuilt® Slow and Cold Smoker Accessory Attachment With Removable Ash Tray for Masterbuilt Vertical BBQ Smokers in Black, 10" x 10" x 18", Model MB20100112

This a must for a serious smoker. I just tried it for the first time tonight because I wanted it to burn in after 3 hours it's still pumping nice white smoke with no signs of slowing down. I have the glass door on my smoker and since I turned this thing on you cannot see the racks. I'm smoking a chuck roast tomorrow, so I do want at least 3 good hours of smoke before I wrap the roast for the final 4 hours. Before I got this it was pull out the chip tray once and hour to refill it. It got to the point that I just didn't like smoking meat anymore. Another thing that really impresses me is the cold smoke feature. You don't need you smoker turned on just turn on the cold smoker and let it go. AWESOME! I finished my burn in smoke and probably had enough wood left for another 2 hours minimum.

Works like it should, gave me about 4 hours of good smoke

Yes, there is, but this thing works great! It's the perfect upgrade to Masterbuilt electric smokers. I just don't understand why they don't build this into their smokers to begin with. Once added, the smoker works easier and better, plus gives the additional benefit of cold smoking capability. In my opinion, this device makes the Masterbuilt electric smoker superior to any other electric smoker. If you own a Masterbuilt electric, you need this. OK, so there "is" such a thing as too much smoke, which is probably why the regular chip tray is so small. Electrics need far less wood than charcoal or wood fire based smokers. If you run a full hopper of chips with this cold smoker accessory you may find your meat ends up too smoky. I used to fill the hopper all the way, but that was too much in my opinion. Now, I usually start with a cup of chips at a time. You can always easily add more if you need to without having to open the smoker, so it's no big deal. If you're doing something like pork butt you probably want a full hopper of chips. If smoking ribs and other foods like jerky, I would go with less. If you do load the chimney full the chips, eventually, the chips will get stuck inside, and you'll have to use a long screwdriver or rod to tamp them down during your cook. If you don't, the hopper will look full, but it isn't and the smoke will drop off. The chips get stuck away from the heat element. Creosote and moisture builds inside the chimney and the chips get glued to the inside of the hopper. Not a big deal, but be prepared to knock them down. Update: I started making jerky and this is the perfect accessory for that. Set your smoker thermostat for 160°F and six hours later you have the best jerky you've ever tasted. The crazy thing about homemade jerky is it is 10 times better than anything you can buy. Once you try making it yourself you'll be hooked, "I guarontee" - Justin Wilson. (Pro tip, always spray your racks with non-stick spray before smoking or making jerky, makes cleanup so much easier.)

After using the Masterbuilt 710 digital smoker, and reading reviews and advice from other users, I decided I needed this accessory to keep producing smoke while heating the main unit at a low temperature. I didn't read the fine print before I bought this; this unit was not meant for the 710 as it sits too low. So I had to create a shelf for it to sit upon so it could align with the smoke input hole on the 710. (See photos.) Now it works great, and I can smoke at temperatures such as 225 degrees (F) while still producing plenty of smoke. This unit just has an on-off switch. I consider it a must-have accessory for Masterbuilt smokers whether the recommended models or ones such as the 710 that need adapting. I can't guarantee it will work with other models, but with the 710 and a little work, it works great. It seems well-built and I've had no problems so far. It's worth the money. I would rate it a 5 if it adapted more easily to my Masterbuilt smoker.

works good so far. if you have a masterbuilt electric smoker it is one of the best upgrades you can do.

Update: Complete junk! Two uses later and the entire wiring burned up. All of the wire insulation, cord grommet, heat shrink over terminals... all either melted or burned up. Love this side smoker attachment for my Masterbuilt 30" Electric Smoker! But near the end of the first use, there was a pop and then the light on the switch went out. I had to take the box apart and found a poorly routed wire that was routed against the heating element and after a few hours of use melted through the wire insulation. This was pure neglect on the part of the person assembling this in the factory. Being an electrical engineer for routing electrical wiring harnesses, Masterbuilt could have done much better on their design to prevent this failure from happening. The other problem is teh design for attaching it to the smoke is pretty poor. I recommend doing as other in the reviews have suggested and use two sheet metal screws to secure it in place. Other than the failure, which I shouldn't have to worry about again, this thing does a great job of providing consistent smoke whether using wood chips or wood pellets. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a Masterbuilt Electric Vertical Smoker.

If you own a newer Masterbuilt electric smoker, you need this thing. Since Masterbuilt dropped their Pro-series smoker, the new ones just aren't designed to deliver much smoke. With this attached, its a smoke making machine. No issues with paint peeling. It could use a more supported mounting option for smokers with legs (which is almost all Masterbuilts), and a cover option would also be nice.

Cold smoker works great! Dry wood chips last about 2-3 hours, soaked wood chips last 4-6 hours. You can even use pellets in this thing, just dont fill it all the way because the pellets expand and will push the cap open (lasts 8 hours!) It's a gravity fed system, wood chips or pellets are placed inside a square tube with metal screen bottom, you fill it while unit is installed over the small electrical element. The metal cap for the tube keeps most of the smoke from escaping pushing it into your smoker. It has an ash catcher tray that you can remove to view the element and screen, it works better if you tap the metal tube or its cap occasionally to make the ashes drop allowing it to breathe and keep the smoke production high (ash blanket blocks air flow). Keep your main smokers exhaust vent slightly open to allow air to move through the unit to produce the most smoke, otherwise the smoke will escape through the lid or door instead, and smoke will be lost. The temperature stays cold, like it should. Just remember to keep the main smokers hearing element from turning on by not setting time or temperature, this way you're only using it to tell you what the temp is (when smoking cheese)... I keep the water pan full of ice, too. When using it for hot smoking, use the main unit to control temperature and time (obviously), just keep the side attachment unit (cold smoker) full of chips or pellets and do your thing. No more messing with the tiny chip tray! Make sure everything is assembled correctly before operating the unit (no stray washers or bolts in electrical connections or switch area. It's a simple system that needs minimal attention to keep it producing that perfect smoke. As far as design, it has a couple of issues, none of which affect the performance of the unit, just a little oversight that could be improved in the future. For example, the lower electrical vents on the unit dont allow it to sit flush against the main smoker (see pic), and the paint under the lid bubbles off (some sort of reaction from smoke and moisture with the paint). Also, you can't use the legs or it will not sit flush with the smoker at the bottom, this won't matter if you're using the stand for the main smoker. Attach it to the smoker using the hardware provided and omit the legs for the small smoke box, and plug the holes with something to ensure proper air flow restriction. You dont want too much air flow, nor do you want too little. You'll get the hang of it after a while. Small tweaks here and there, and it will be perfect.

It works amazing. I no longer have to keep filling the wood chips every 45mins anymore. Plus having the ability to cold smoke is a massive bonus.

Dieser Kalträucherkamin benötigt 110V da es in den USA hergestellt wird. Das habe ich gewusst da ich davon schon 2 in den USA in Einsatz hatte und in D mit Trafo arbeite. Das aber immer noch kein hitzebeständiger Lack verwendet wird finde ich sehr unzureichend und gesundheitsschädlichen. Bereits nach dem ersten Räuchern blättert der Lack im Kamin ab und die Dämpfe legen sich auf dem Rauchgut ab. Ich habe den Lack entfernt um schadfrei zu Räuchern.

I was really disappointed with this purchase. After waiting nearly two weeks for it to arrive, I discovered it came with a US plug, so I had to buy an adapter. Even after using the adapter, the item isn't working at all. I wouldn't recommend it based on this experience.

US Netzteil für 120V, in Deutschland ohne Spannungswandler nicht zu verwenden! Nirgendwo vermerkt, Kundenservice verweist auf den amerikanischen Verkäufer (von dem ich in der Beschreibung auch nichts gesehen habe), und damit ist für Amazon Deutschland die Sache erledigt. Absolute Frechheit!

This came in the UK with an American plug attached to the power cord. I replaced it with a UK plug and switched it on and it blew the heating element straight away rendering the item completely useless. Yes I should have instead used a USA to UK plug adapter to counter the 110 US voltage against the 240 UK voltage but I wasn’t aware of that at the time so that’s £100 down the drain.
