The Masterbuilt Propane Smoker was one of the first propane grills that we successfully used. The Masterbuilt Pro Grill is relatively easy to use as long as you know how to make it work for your needs. It is a dual fuel smoker, meaning you can cook with both propane and charcoal fuel sources. We consider this grill to be one of the best propane smokers at its price point.
We love cooking with propane because it allows for even temperatures throughout the entire cook. The only drawback to propane is that it fails to impart beneficial flavors to the meat. This is where wood chips and chunks come into play. Wood chips burn faster, but can add smoke flavor to the meat as soon as it’s added to the flame bowl.
You can also use wood chunks. Wood chunks last longer, meaning you don’t have to open the door to add replacements. You simply add the wood to the fire bowl seated directly above the propane flame. The bowl gets very hot, so it’s possible that your wood will initially burn rather than smoke.
The second option is using charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal. We’ve found there are two ways to light charcoal on this masterbuilt smoker. First, light a chimney of lump charcoal and dump it in the firebowl. Add a few chunks of firewood on top of the charcoal and you’ll be adding smoke to your cook in no time.
The second way to light charcoal is filling the firebowl with unlit charcoal and turning on the propane. The propane burner lights the charcoal and heats up the Masterbuilt Pro Grill quicker than lighting a chimney.
It’s completely up to you whether you want to use charcoal or propane as the fuel source. The only difference is that charcoal brings flavor while propane doesn’t. The choice is completely up to you
The main reason we bought this Masterbuilt Grill was for the sheer space it possessed at the $250 price point. With four racks of space, we love how much room we can cook at one time.
For one cook, we fit a large full packer brisket and two pork butts. Each piece of meat had its own shelf. Spritzing the meat every hour was simple with the ease of sliding the racks in and out. This is a feature you don’t find in most grills.
The biggest challenge on this unit was keeping a consistent temperature when using charcoal as the fuel source. It became difficult to add new charcoal to the fire after an hour or two into the cook. It can be difficult handling a 300 degree bowl and adding charcoal. Yes, its an achievable task, but hard when the charcoal briquettes overflow and fall out of the bowl. This is simply an inconvenient feature.
This Propane Masterbuilt Smoker is a dual door smoker. You can easily add wood chunks, briquettes, and lump charcoal to the bottom door without having to open the above cooking chamber. We loved this feature because it keeps an even and consistent temperature for cooks.
The vents can be found on the bottom sides and top back panel. Once you dial in the temperature you’re shooting for, the vents take very little playing with. When using charcoal, pay attention to how far the vents are open. At the very least, you need to worry about having a path for air to flow from the fire to the upper vent.
Moving the grill across the concrete patio is a breeze due to its light weight construction. The wheels on the back are fantastic. Simply tip it back and roll it where it needs to go.
We also love the push button igniter for the propane attachment. We have used this grill many times, and the flame still lights up the first time you touch the button.
The Masterbuilt 40 Propane smoker has been a solid unit. If you’re in the market for a smoker, the masterbuilt is definitely worth checking out. We consider this to be one of the best Masterbuilt smokers. Wanting to learn more about this grill? Go to www.thebarbecu... for more information.
