Masterbuilt M7P 7-in-1 Smoker and Grill Review

Nice and inexpensive barbecue smoker

I bought the Masterbuilt M7P smoker because I wanted the option of using either propane or charcoal, though at this time I like to use the gas because I can control the heat better. As I become more experienced smoking I will try out charcoal. It's nice to have the option with this model. You can also use it as a grill but I bought it strictly to be used as a smoker since I already have a nice propane grill.

Assembly was pretty easy which was surprising. I was expecting it to take half the day but I would say maybe an hour and a half. The first time I smoked with it actually went well. I'm just a beginner but the results were good, at least our family thought so. I was able to keep the temperature right around 200 degrees with little problem but I did encounter a quick spike in heat when I ran out of water. I fixed this quick though. The 6 lbs. loin was finished in around 6 hours and we all loved it. I really thought it tasted as good as any restaurant. I can only imagine how good the meat will taste after I get some experience.

I actually read somewhere else that the thermometer that comes with it isn't that accurate so I had already bought a separate wireless one to use. This works great and is much more precise than the one Masterbuilt included. This is the only downside I found with the M7P, especially since the price is so good. I highly recommend buying this smoker, especially if you plan on doing any grilling as well. The only thing I would recommend is buying a more accurate thermometer but that is not expensive.
