In this video I am unboxing, assembling, using, and reviewing the MasterBuilt MPS 340G ThermoTemp Propane Smoker.
First, I provide a step by step assembly of the smoker. Then I season it and put it to use - smoking a 12 1/2 pound turkey and a couple of pork tenderloins. Finally , I give my overall impression of the smoker.
*Update*
MasterBuilt Customer Service came through and quickly sent me the missing part as they said they would. So kudos to them!!

Thank you so much for making this concise easy to follow video! My unit arrived all damaged. The unit was obviously dropped and they just taped it up. Took me 10 days for them to get back to me and only thru emails. Finally after 2 weeks if back n forth they finally sent me a new unit. That one was damaged too so i just combined both broken units to make a good one. I cannot believe what company this large has a division that has a terrible customer service program and also lacks any type of quality control. I cannot believe that they actually wrap up some of these pieces with the obvious damage. What an embarrassment for an American company. Anyways, but wasn’t for you I would’ve been pulling my hair out on top of the stress that I went through

After the rough start you had with receiving the damaged smoker, I hope you can finally fire it up and enjoy it now! I am throwing a butt on mine in the morning. I’m glad to hear the video was helpful for you. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Looks good! I bet that pork was tasty, the bird too, but the pork would be my go-to meal. Good job putting that Masterbuilt Thermotemp Smoker together.

Thanks. I'm not a backyard BBQ aficionado by any means!! Actually I'm just a newby at it. But both the bird and pig were quite tasty. Like you, I favored the pig as well. I can't wait to try a pork butt or shoulder. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I have the same smoker....very happy with it.., you know what I actually use is chunks of wood instead of chips, I just put a couple pieces on the tray(cause it gets hot) and it works out great. Nice Vid 🍗🥩🍖

@usmcgunz1066 Жыл бұрын

Thanks! So far I’m pleased with this MasterBuilt. I’ve used chips and pellets for smoke. I’ll have to give the chunks a try next. Thanks!

@ADUB308 Жыл бұрын

I have the same smoker. I prefer chunks as well with this smoker. May have to use a hatchet on chunks too large for the tray.

Putting mine together tomorrow. Have charcoal grill, electric smoker, and a griddle. Hoping this unit gives me a little more flexibility on weekends when it's raining.

Very impressed with Masterbuilt Thermotemp Smoker. Super roomy and a lot of bang for the buck, it seems. That’s an American company and I think they’re manufactured in Columbus GA? Glad to see the manufacturer took care of the missing part.

Curious if you ever received a response from the manufacturer.

@usmcgunz1066 Жыл бұрын

Yes. They were great. They sent me the whole kit - which included the upper and lower cable covers and the probe mount. Sorry - I thought I had added that comment sometime back. Apparently I had not. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Anyway…Thanks for watching and commenting!! Edited to add: Now that I think about it - I updated my product review with this info. But failed to update my own video’s comments. So thanks for the reminder!!

3 dents in an unharmed cardboard box and 1 wrong part, that seems more Misterbuilt than Masterbuilt to me.

@Rob-kd8hr Жыл бұрын

At what temperature does the wood start to smoke? Thanks in advance.

@usmcgunz1066 Жыл бұрын

It’ll smoke at the lowest setting (175* or less). But I have bought some smoke tubes that I can pack pellets in and just light the pellets in the tube if I want to cold smoke anything (like cheeses), which I plan to do sometime in the near future. For a novice smoker like me, I think it’s a pretty good rig. I have done some killer pork butts and spatchcocked chickens on it. Thanks for watching!!

@@usmcgunz1066 I’m hoping I just got a flawed unit I tried to be as careful as possible during the Burner assembly I guess it’s possible I screwed something up but I failed to find any issues that would cause it to have a low flame/no flame replaced regulators tanks etc no go so hopefully yours does much better then mine and no problem I’ll be watchin checkin out the content

Have the XL. Been using it heavily for 8 yrs now. Never been a problem. Done everything that pretty much flies, crawls, runs or swims, all year round. Love it! Try cooking your next Mac & Cheese in it, with pecan/cherry wood !! Your welcome!!!👍😂

My smoker will not stay lit. I don’t know how to fix it. Can someone help please

@usmcgunz1066 11 ай бұрын

Does it not stay lit when you are first trying light it? Or does it light ok, then go out sometime later? If the former; you must hold the thermostat knob in for several seconds while lighting it. (Set your temp at say 200 and hold thermostat knob in while pushing the striker button. Keep holding temp knob in for like 30 more seconds after it ignites.) If the latter, I don’t know.

@@usmcgunz1066 I can light it and burns for a while. Seem like when it reaches the temperature I selected, it cups off.
