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

I purchased this Masterbuilt slow and cold smoker attachment back in 2018 and it’s still working great today, which says a lot about the build quality and reliability. Once you get it set up, it produces a steady, continuous smoke without constantly needing attention. The initial setup was a little challenging the first time — it takes some adjusting to get everything aligned and attached properly — but after that first install it’s been smooth sailing every time I use it. I’ve used it to smoke turkey legs, salmon, tri tip, and even for continental-style smoking to make jerky. The smoke flavor is consistent and really enhances the meat without overpowering it. It’s especially nice not having to constantly reload chips like with some other smoker setups. Pros: • Produces continuous, consistent smoke • Still works great after several years of use • Great for a variety of meats and jerky • Once installed, very easy to use Cons: • Initial setup can be a little tricky the first time Overall, this has been a great addition to my smoker and has held up extremely well over time. If you’re looking to expand into cold smoking or just want more consistent smoke without the hassle, this attachment is definitely worth it.

If you own an digital Masterbuilt smoker, you should buy this to get the full design capabilities of the smoker out of it. If you are thinking about buying one of these smokers, be aware that sooner rather than later you will be compelled to buy this. The current design of digital Masterbuilt smokers is designed to sell you a somewhat mobile, bare-bones unit at a reduced price with minimal electric consumption. Accordingly with these smokers, smoke is added to the food being smoked through an absolutely primitive arrangement -- you add a half-cup of wood chips to a thoroughly rinky-dink cutout in a tube assembly, slide it into the machine, and you get 45 minutes to an hour of smoke going through the smoker. After that time is up, you have to refill the chips. So, if you're smoking a full load in your smoker, you can expect to have to refill your smoker with wood chips 9 or 10 times over 6-7 hours. Masterbuilt advises you to bend down and look through the tube that the previously-mentioned tube assembly goes in to ascertain if the chips you put in before have burned down. Look into the orifice leaking smoke carefully. Because f you overfill the tray at the end of the tube, the tube assembly will jam. As dark and smoky as the orifice in the smoker that you're supposed to see clearly into, and given the low position it's in, not comparing it to a pig's nether hole is impossible. And every forty-five minutes, you're back shoving chips into the pighole, feeding the smoker. Oh, the people at Masterbuilt must have had a really good chuckle thinking this up. It's a hustle. You need this "cold smoking kit" to make the Masterbuilt electric smokers fully functional, a clear "gotcha fee" in addition to the original price of the smoker. This kit gives you a steady stream of smoke with the heating element burning the chips outside the smoker itself, so generating the smoke by using the kit minimally affects the temperature the smoker is kept at. The heating element inside the smoker itself is much more efficient and effective once the work of warming up the tray and making the chips smoke is taken off it, so the smoker stays closer to the target temperature. Finally, this device produces at least twice as much smoke for your smoker as the original tube-and-tray assembly, and that smoke flow is absolutely steady, instead of being governed by when the heating element in the smoker proper needs to turn on. The smoke is billed to last for six hours -- I've never managed to make the self-feeding chimney stack of chips do a full six hours, but it does drastically reduce the number of times you'll have to fill your newly modified smoker, and in addition to that refilling is much easier if you use a large funnel, makeshift or otherwise. This kit is not even sold as a "cold smoking kit" on the Masterbuilt retail packaging, it's a "slow smoker." The fact that it adds a cold-smoking capability to your electric smoker really is incidental to its design. After you bolt this kit on, you should use it for both hot and cold smoking. There are four other things you should know: 1. My Masterbuilt electric smoker has a set of wheels on it. Once you bolt this thing on, your smoker isn't moving anywhere safely. The assembly to attach the thing to the body of the smoker is clearly designed to be permanent 2. And once this is on, for a 30" smoker, you'll need the 40" Masterbuilt cover for it. 3. Remove the tube assembly and the chip tray that together formed the original wood chip delivery system when you attach this kit. It's not in the directions. 4. You'll need two power outlets to run your smoker with this kit attached. It only draws 1.25 amps.

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.)

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.

Works as advertised. Very simple setup and the smoke lasts for several hours. Found it works best with wood that is chicklet sized and not dusty, fibrous, or large wood chips. I hooked it directly to the side my smoker. Was able to run the smoker at lower temperatures, while still maintaining a steady smoke supply.

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.

Works great on my electric. Saves you from opening the door to refill the smoker tray in the electric smoker. Saves time for long cooks . for other chores around the house

If you are in UK or Europe you also need to buy a step down transformer, it's a US plug and the internals are built for 110v, I purchased a 500w Stepdown and it works fine, just annoying it isn't stated anywhere on the advert, I got in touch with Masterbuilt their reply was this item is not for sale in the UK or Europe and there is no warranty or parts availability of it breaks so keep that in mind,they were surprised I managed to buy it through Amazon
