I was hesitant to buy a smoker, but am glad I made the purchase especially with the Masterbuilt 30-inch Digital Electric Smoker. The ease of use has been awesome for me as a beginner smoker. Assembly was relatively straight forward. After seasoning I was off and running! The only issue I have seen thus far is the door gasket tends to leak if using the water pan. I have had to add a second gasket which fixed the issue. Overall, this would be a product I definitely recommend to others!
