Features
An extraordinary cooking area of 975 sq. inches :
975 sq. inches is a larger cooking area than most other Masterbuilt smokers and that’s giving you more than you asked for cooking space. May it be ribs or pork, seafood or poultry due to its huge size the Masterbuilt can fit in anything. Now you’ll be able to cook enough food at one go during family reunions or a meet up with friends.
The racks inside the Masterbuilt 20075315 are coated with rust proof chrome which is adjustable which gives you the liberty to remove them out when not required. Eg. While cooking poultry. Personally, I’d suggest you take out the racks when you aren’t using them so that you don’t have to clean up unnecessarily.
The much talked about the blue LED control panel and the RF remote control :
The inbuilt control panel overlooks and directs the system as a whole during the cooking process, and the blue LED light installed will help for easy viewing even in direct sunlight.
The supplementary “pager” sized RF remote control system gives you the advantage of overlooking the time, the temperature of the meat and the feature of turning the internal lights on or off from a distance of up to 100 ft away! This makes things so much easy as you don’t have to keep going to and from the smoker, and you can literally control it from the comfort of your chair!
This is a good heating unit would be an understatement! Plus an inbuilt temperature probe :
The Masterbuilt 20075315 has the best electric heating unit! Up to 1200 Watts, which has the capacity to increase the heat to 350 degrees F, which is more than satisfactory to cook various kinds of food, from fish to meat.
Being aware of the fact that various other models of Masterbuilt don’t produce enough heat and sometimes leaves the poultry under-cooked and with chewy skinned, all precautions have been taken to produce such immense amounts of heat that’s enough to cook poultry very nicely. Very nice indeed!
The meat you cook will never be overcooked or undercooked! Guess why? It’s because of the inbuilt meat temperature probe that supplies you with precise information on the meat that’s cooking. This way you get to know whats going on on the inside.
Some other things you might be interested in :
Want me to make you fall in love with the Masterbuilt 20075315 40-Inch Electric Smoker? Have a glance at the following :
Flush operating wood chip tray :
The wood chip tray itself is small and doesn’t really hold a very large quantity of wood chips at a time, they’ll probably burn out in approximately 45 minutes. That is one thing you’ll have to keep your eye out for, although if you soak it in water it will last for a longer time.
Foreword accessible drip pan and water bowl :
The thing that most people look for in any mechanism is easy maintenance and clean up. Keeping this in mind Masterbuilt has made this model very simple to maintain by including a drip pan and a water bowl. The drip pan is placed at the front and this makes it very easy to remove and clean. A tip: cover the rack with aluminum foil so that after cooking you can just remove the foil and throw it away replacing it with another aluminum foil. This makes the parts last longer!
Minimizing the smoke loss by keeping it fully insulated :
Making it fully insulated and tightly sealed to reduce smoke loss is another wonderful feature. This ensures that the meat is properly cooked, the way you want it. There’s no undercooked or overcooked meet here. We don’t do that here!
You can get a look inside! :
This has a very bittersweet feeling. The glass door at the front of the model allows you to look inside the smoker. But it has to be cleaned regularly in order to see inside. This can be forgiven though if you ask me. No pain no gain right?
The wheels on the smoker go round and round! :
This baby comes with its own back plastic coaster like wheels which will help you to move it over short distances. You simply have to tilt it back and push! That simple. But don’t go pushing it around long distances and over rough bumpy areas.
The Assembly part :
I’m sorry, but yes a little bit of assembly is required. But don’t worry, it’s very little. Just attach the handle, the feet etc. It definitely won’t take you longer than 30 minutes!
It’s so so easy to replace the parts :
Masterbuilt sells the replacement parts for this model! And you have got to admit, that pretty sweet for an electric smoker, because these mechanisms are not fully damaged free. The replacements aren’t very expensive so you can use this model for a long time with minimal maintenance costs!
Pros
- The obvious huge cooking space of 975 sq. inches, aesthetically decorated with 4 flexible racks.
- The best heating unit of 1200 Watts and the inbuilt meat probe in order to check the meat temperature.
- The digital control panel with the blue LED light to overlook the broad process.
- The RF remote control which helps you control the machine without moving.
- No smoke loss because it’s fully insulated.
- Very easy to move around because of the small back wheels.
- Parts easily found, hence making it long lasting and cheap cost of parts making its maintenance low costing.
Cons
- The front control panel isn’t waterproof. You’ll have to keep it covered if it starts raining.
- Cleaning may not be that easy don’t worry we got your back .
- The moisture present inside the meat makes the glass unable to see through, so you’ll have to clean it and then it won’t be an issue.
Here’s how we got your back:
Transfer all your items into an expendable aluminum pan. Don’t worry at all about the food getting smoky because trust me. It will! Further cover the water pan, grease pan and the drip deflector with foil, this is a great help because later you can just dispose of the foil! Another tip is to use Weber’s grill cleaner to clean the front glass easily.
