Review: Perfect for us old, lazy guys. - Totally stress free. I have had all the other types of smokers but I got old and lazy. When I moved to the retirement community I got lazy and bought an electric smoker. I can set it for 18 hours and go away for the day, no worries. I add chips for smoke flavor a few times and it comes out perfect. No red ring as that is caused by NOx from wood fires but is not important for flavor. I got the 40 inch size so a whole big brisket fits on 1 rack. I have a friend that got the model with the window. After a couple times scraping the stuff off the window he stopped scraping. Window is not needed. Since it’s electric just set it and forget it. On a side note, as I said I’m lazy so I no longer make my own rub. I buy the “Tony Chanceries No Salt”. Since it has no salt I can put it on as thick as I want (remember to salt the meat separately). I don’t rub it, I cover it thick. On a side, side note I got wireless thermometers. Much easier to use (did I say I’m lazy?) and it is blue tooth so as I sit here I can check the meat. The brand I got, ThermoMaven, produces a nice time vs temp chart on my phone so I can see when the stall starts and finishes as well as when the meat is done. Now if Elon will get busy and make a robot to take the meat out of the smoker I can be fully lazy. Review: Amazing smoker - Update #2 Heating element went out when I had a 130.00 brisket. Ruined brisket because I smoke the brisket overnight. UPDATE #3 REPLACE HEATING ELEMENT READY TO GO... NO GO! BOUGHT A $108.00 BRISKET, WAS CHECKING TEMP JUST BEFORE PUTTING BRISKET INTO SMOKER. TEMPS DROPPING DUE TO WHAT APPEARS TO BE MALFUNCTION OF TIMER. NOW, MASTERBUILT WANTS ME TO BUY ANOTHER TIMER. I DO NOT, NOT, AND NOT RECOMMEND THIS SMOKER. TERRIBLE DESIGN. HORRIBLE QUALITY. *******UPDATED DETAILS******** THE SMOKER IS A NICE SMOKER THAT DOES THE JOB. HOWEVER THE INSULATION IS NOT VERY GOOD. WHEN THE OUTSIDE IS AS HOT AS THE INSIDE, IT IS CLEAR THE INSULATION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE CONTROLLER ON THE TOP OF SMOKER IS NOT VISIBLE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. I LITERALLY HAD TO GET A BLACK TOWEL TO PUT OVER IT TO SEE THE NUMBERS. THIS COULD EASILY BE FIXED BY THE MFG. IT IS AN OUTSIDE SMOKER, YET THE MANUAL CLEARLY SAYS TO NOT LET IT GET WET. WELL, IF IT IS AN OUTSIDE SMOKER, IT SHOULD BE WEATHER PROOF, ESPECIALLY RAIN PROOF. DON'S GET ME WRONG, IT IS A GOOD SMOKER, BUT THESE ITEMS SERIOUSLY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MFG. I SENT A MSG TO THE MFG ABOUT AN ISSUE, IT TOOK THEM 15 DAYS TO REPLY TO ME. NOT EVEY REMOTELY ACCEPTABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. ## Features - Vertical digital electric smoker with 970 square inches of cooking space ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0898YH82R | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,247 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #1 in Outdoor Smokers | | Brand | Masterbuilt | | Brand Name | Masterbuilt | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 553 Reviews | | Form Factor | Vertical | | Fuel Type | Electric | | Included Components | Side Wood Chip Loader | | Inner Material | Steel | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 19.9"D x 25.6"W x 41.3"H | | Item Type Name | Digital Electric Smoker | | Item Weight | 58.3 Pounds | | Manufacture Year | 2023 | | Manufacturer | Masterbuilt Manufacturing, LLC. | | Model Name | 40-inch Digital Electric | | Model Number | MB20072918 | | Outer Material | Cold Rolled Steel | | Part Number | MB20072918 | | Power Source | Electric | | UPC | 094428272224 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Masterbuilt - **Color:** Black - **Fuel Type:** Electric - **Item Weight:** 58.32 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** Masterbuilt Manufacturing, LLC. - **Model Name:** 40-inch Digital Electric - **Outer Material:** Cold Rolled Steel - **Power Source:** Electric - **Product Dimensions:** 19.9"D x 25.6"W x 41.3"H - **UPC:** 094428272224 ## Images ![Masterbuilt® 40-inch Digital Electric Vertical BBQ Smoker with Side Wood Chip Loader, Chrome Smoking Racks and 970 Cooking Square Inches in Black, Model MB20072918 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51d0j1ADfAL.jpg) ![Masterbuilt® 40-inch Digital Electric Vertical BBQ Smoker with Side Wood Chip Loader, Chrome Smoking Racks and 970 Cooking Square Inches in Black, Model MB20072918 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VK9-9B5qL.jpg) ![Masterbuilt® 40-inch Digital Electric Vertical BBQ Smoker with Side Wood Chip Loader, Chrome Smoking Racks and 970 Cooking Square Inches in Black, Model MB20072918 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7128pIUZC9L.jpg) ![Masterbuilt® 40-inch Digital Electric Vertical BBQ Smoker with Side Wood Chip Loader, Chrome Smoking Racks and 970 Cooking Square Inches in Black, Model MB20072918 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Gj-tlPKBL.jpg) ![Masterbuilt® 40-inch Digital Electric Vertical BBQ Smoker with Side Wood Chip Loader, Chrome Smoking Racks and 970 Cooking Square Inches in Black, Model MB20072918 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716qrpbuA3L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can a 14” long brisket fit in there without touching sides?** A: Yes, it will fit in this smoker. **Q: I need just the control panel** A: The control panel is faulty period. You will always need just the control panel. Considering there are YouTube videos on how to operate the smoker without the control panel, that shows the panel is trash **Q: does this unit have a temp probe for internal temp ?** A: Hi Brian, this unit does not have an internal meat probe. This unit is equipped with internal temperature probes to test the internal temp to ensure your smoker is at your set temperature. **Q: Is the red light supposed to stay on during the entire cook time? It keeps turning off and I don’t know why .** A: The red light comes on if the current insidetemperature is below the set/programed. Once the inside temperature reaches the set temperature, the green light comes on. Only thing I can think of is that the outside temperature is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit or so. I first used it in about 46 degrees and windy and the red light was on for the three hours I programed it for. If this is not the case then it might be that you didn't hit the temperature button a second time to start the cooking cycle. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for us old, lazy guys. *by C***M on February 8, 2026* Totally stress free.

The smoker body cavity has (2) smoke/moisture escape point on the top of the body... they feed MOIST SMOKE directly into the control panel/display. After (4) hours of NEW USE, my control shorted out. Luckily, I complained and received a second replacement control/display as the first one WAS NOT READABLE IN DAYLIGHT. ??? WHO SMOKES IN THEIR HOUSE OR GARAGE? NOT. Masterbuilt sent a replacement, but unfornately, LED's are not what you want in broad daylight. The design should have been LCD's, which you can read under most 'light' conditions. STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM MASTERBUILT on the shorted control/display. I have 'patched' my smoker with gasketing, etc, to seal off the spewing moisture and smoke that goes DIRECTLY INTO THE CONTROL. VERY POOR DESIGN, AVOID! (PS, I'm a retired engineer, I know how to troubleshoot and find the root causes of issues). ## Frequently Bought Together - Masterbuilt® 40-inch Digital Electric Vertical BBQ Smoker with Side Wood Chip Loader, Chrome Smoking Racks and 970 Cooking Square Inches in Black, Model MB20072918 - Masterbuilt® 40-inch Vertical BBQ Smoker Weather-Resistant Polyester Cover to Fit All Masterbuilt 40-inch Vertical Smokers in Black, Model MB20080210 - MixRBBQ Digital Electric Smoker Stand for Masterbuilt, Smoker Legs with Wheels for Masterbuilt MB20101114 MB20071117 MB20070421 40 Inch & 30 Inch Universal Leg Extension Kit Accessories --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/210207560-masterbuilt-40-inch-digital-electric-vertical-bbq-smoker-with-side](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/210207560-masterbuilt-40-inch-digital-electric-vertical-bbq-smoker-with-side) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
