    i have the same smoker and love it. probably 1000 hours on it so far.. one of the best thigs i did is to take the one screw out of the wire rack under the wood chip tray and remove the rack completly so the chip tray rests directly on the heating element..produces much better smoke at lower temps..great vid!

      yep I hate spending money, especially now that im semi retired...lol But i definelty like quality and function but often that doesnt mean spending a fortune. There are some great and expensive smokers out there. my friends have them. they are excellent. but they cost a ton of money and you have to be right there baby sitting them for temp contol, fuel etc. this is affordable, functional and simple. set it and walk away. come back when its done.

    I have a separate smoker for salmon, because after you smoke salmon your other items you smoke take on a salmon flavor (just something to think about) Jason Thanks for your great videos

    • @SamkoTradBow
      @SamkoTradBow  Před rokem +4

      Interesting. Never noticed that and we smoke alot of salmon. I do make aure to clean the smoker out well each time though and I know you don't have to. Maybe that help or maybe I just haven't noticed.

    Manufacturer says to do a two hour empty burn on some models prior to use. It will reduce chemical contamination during cooking.

    As a previous Qstoves+ user, I was hesitant to switch to another brand. However, after trying the Asmoke grill, I couldn't be happier. The pellet system was a game-changer for me. It's so much easier to use and allows for precise temperature control. Plus, the variety of wood pellet flavors available really elevated my cooking. I particularly love the smoky flavor it imparts to my meats and vegetables. The compact and portable design of Asmoke also makes it perfect for my camping and tailgating trips. It's battery-powered and lasts up to 10 hours, so I don't have to worry about finding a power source. I also appreciate the environmentally friendly aspect of using recycled wood materials for the pellets. Overall, Asmoke has truly transformed my outdoor cooking experience. #Asmoke

    I use wood pellets in mine for longer smokes, I bought an amazin smoker and light it, put it under the water trey and remove the wood chip trey for more air flow and you get WAY more and good flavored smoke

    • @SamkoTradBow
      @SamkoTradBow  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Excellent tip. Thank you

    • @findrest3073
      @findrest3073 Před 2 měsíci

      Its important to have the tube right beneath the waterpan and off the bottom because any liquid in the pellets will swell and it doesn't work but its 1000% better in my opinion

  • @Jimbobd421
    @Jimbobd421 Před měsícem

    Ive had mine for years and love it. Im just starting to get a tingle or shock when i use it so i think its the plug. Going to upgrade to a newer one. Ive smoked tons of meat on mine.

  • @JoshuaMcMillion
    @JoshuaMcMillion Před 4 měsíci +1

    is that a standard extension cord you've got the smoker plugged into? if so, is that recommended or should I plug directly into the wall?

    • @SamkoTradBow
      @SamkoTradBow  Před 4 měsíci

      It is a standard extension cord. Have used the same 100 foot cord for all my smokers without a problem. Never looked to see if plugging right in the wall was required

  • @keithsklerov8618
    @keithsklerov8618 Před 7 měsíci +2

    I bought a used Masterbuilt because wasn’t sure I would be into smoking. I definitely am. Anyways, you can clean glass with a razor blade and spraying rubbing alcohol. I like to use a pellet tube which produces 4-5 hours of smoke.

  • @valdius85

    Does the hearing comes form the wood or plug?
    It seems to me that from the plug but I might be wrong.
    One day I’d love to have smoker that controls the heat form the timber by itself 😊

    • @SamkoTradBow
      @SamkoTradBow  Před rokem +1

      Heat is via electricity. Thats the simplicity and beauty of an electric smoker. no need to baby sit it like you have to with wood or charcoal or even propane. just a simple set it and forget simple smoker.

    I have this exact same Masterbuilt digital electric smoker. It's less than 2 months old. How do you get it smoker to stay on? I My smoker began turning itself off on the second smoke. I filed a warranty claim, and MB at first (Shannon S) said they would send me a new one if I gave them my shipping address. I did, Shannon acknowledged that, and then they sent me an email 6 days later saying I have never supplied the shipping address they had already acknowledged, so MB was canceling the warranty service.

    • @SamkoTradBow
      @SamkoTradBow  Před rokem

      I'd contact them again. I've never had to deal with warranty as all the ones I've owned were trouble free. And they did say they send you a new one. I'd call and get that sorted

    Salmon is a little over cooked. When the fat coagulates like that, it is a clear indicator of being over cooked. Great review though.

      Thats because tina got held up and didnt make it home in time. so I was left to keep it going and I dont cook fish very often. so It was my fault it got over cooked. my lack of experience with fish.

    Our old masterbuilt started having control issues, so we ordered this unit and couldn't be more shocked at the quality. Well, OK it could be worse. you look to show a decent door gasket, like our old unit, the new one is a flimsy rubber that didn' follow the contour of the door. the chip loader is rough on the hands, the old one has well moulded corners and is user friendly. the chip burner tray use to be of good size, the new one is tiny and would burn up way to often, the chip shield is made like by mentally challenged, (I can only guess made by Chinese labor camps), the grease drip port is now on the back so rain, debris, and mice will clutter it and mice can get stuck in the grease. the old lock was also user friendly with one hand operation the new does not work like the old one. the old had a metal rack guide, this unit, with molded tracks right into the side wall bind the racks from free movement. SHALL I CONTINUE. Its a piece of junk. they went new world order on the unit AANNDD, just rty to contact someone. GOOD LUCK. Even their CHAT is automated, because they THINK they can predertime your needs. You have to conform their questions, till you can't answer the question cuz it no longer applies. What do you do?? , cuz I guess they think AI is going to solve their problems. We are Very luck Amazon had this in stock and was returnable, otherwise you probably can't return them, If you were to buy from Masterbuilt, yo're SOOL. I could not find an email address, I'm guess because that would require a real person to reply,. AND YOU CAN"Y HAVE THAT!! Stay clear folks. As to Traditional....Podcast's video? . because you only don't know better. your CZcams vid is pretty good, but we do and have known better, and wait till you need assistance with this unit. "who do call?? Ghost Busters?? that's a ha ha. anyway, enjoy the smoker till something goes awry. I DO NOT recommend Masterbuilt.
