Any reason not to buy this electric smoker?

I have seen the glass get dirty to the point of not seeing inside. But that could be the guy who I need it never cleaned it.

How much is it?

I have it and have enjoyed it. The connectors on the inside of the back panel shorted out after about 3 years, but I was able to fix it.

It has been a great first smoker. Easy and gets the job done. Just make sure you empty the ash tray inside before you smoke or it will have trouble reaching temperature.

Because it’s cheating

I have this one and it is awesome. Would recommend.

This came off my Masterbuilt:

Just no.

Get disposable stick and peel glass covers. Use them for a couple smokes and toss them.

This. The temp is the temp.

I didn't see in the description if it shuts off when its meat probe (if it's included) hits the desired temperature. If it does, that's a bonus and one feature I'd love to have.

I use a gas smoker that I'm happy with and probably my favorite part is that there are two doors, one for the cooking chamber and a smaller one on the bottom for the drip pan and chip tray. You can tend to the chips without opening up the cooking chamber.

Those work well for people that have apartments, and are trying to do an indoor smoke setup. They’re also great if you’re trying to smoke anything past the hundred hour mark.

I’ve got three smokers. The only one I’ve used for a plus hundred hour smoke is my Masterbuilt. I’ve added the A MAZE N smoke tube to it, and that’s been even more convenient. You can leave your house for an entire 8 hours and have constant temp/smoke without having to worry about anything. I can’t do that with my egg smoker.

Will it deliver a quality product? Yes
Will the glass get dirty? Completely
Is it safe for indoor smoke jobs? You bet
Worth $299? Maybe
Can you beat the convenience? Not with a stick
