The Cons
There are very few cons for the Masterbuilt 20070910 Smoker. Some think that if the size was somewhat larger, up to 40 inches, with the four racks, that this would be even better than the 30 inch and allows even more meat packed into it.
The temperature of the Masterbuilt 20070910 Smoker only goes up to 275. This is found to be acceptable for red meats and fish which will often cook between 220 and 250. but not so good for poultry, where the cooking time is ideally 350 degrees.
Some people feel that the electric heater in the Masterbuilt 20070910 Smoker seems to lack cooking power especially when it is loaded with meat, and it can be difficult to keep the temperature up. Some people use an additional heating element to boost the temperature.
The Masterbuilt 20070910 Smoker has a fairly short electric cable and because it needs plugging directly into an outlet, so often requires an industrial extension cord if the smoker is to be placed outside, however there is some concern that doing this might cause the problem of the lower heat output.
