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.

Been putting off buying this for a while and I love it now that I got it works great can keep temps down and keep smoke on for a longer time

Definitely works as recorded. When you first turn it on it produces a ton of smoke. You have to let it run for a few minutes to let it calm down or it may produce too much smoke. Some tips for use: It will produce too much smoke for most applications. Once you turn it on, let it produce smoke for 10 to 15 minutes. At this point the chips at the bottom of the chute are smoldering. After this, you can power down the unit and it will produce smoke at a much better rate. You want nice light blue smoke, not heavy white smoke. ALSO, it will produce heat so you may have to compensate for this in your smoker temp. turning off the slow smoker after it's smoldering will fox this issue as well. By nature the wood chips WILL coat the inside of the chip chute with creosote, quite a lot. So much so that it will eventually cause the wood chips to stick to the inside of the chute. This is an easy fix. Get some creosote spray and coat the inside of the chute. Light a couple of "tumbleweed" fire starters and put the chute over top of them. They will flame up quite a bit, best to put it on a grill grate of sorts so air can get to the tumbleweeds. This will turn the creosote into ash that can easily be brushed off. Takes about 3-5 minutes. In the end, it's a great device and with some ingenuity, you can control the smoke level pretty easy. I use it for cold smoking items that require temps below 150, summer sausage, cheese and such. Also use it for lower temp warm smokes like pork belly for bacon. Also works like a champ for hot smoking.

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

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 smoker is excellent! It works best with pellets. Amazing volume if smoke.

Love this. First time use was instantly amazing. You want to cold smoke something well this is the way to do it. It fit perfectly to my Masterbuilt upright smoker and it worked like a charm. Lots of smoke. Highly recommend .
