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

Yes, there is, but this thing works great! It's the perfect upgrade to Masterbuilt electric smokers. I just don't understand why they don't build this into their smokers to begin with. Once added, the smoker works easier and better, plus gives the additional benefit of cold smoking capability. In my opinion, this device makes the Masterbuilt electric smoker superior to any other electric smoker. If you own a Masterbuilt electric, you need this. OK, so there "is" such a thing as too much smoke, which is probably why the regular chip tray is so small. Electrics need far less wood than charcoal or wood fire based smokers. If you run a full hopper of chips with this cold smoker accessory you may find your meat ends up too smoky. I used to fill the hopper all the way, but that was too much in my opinion. Now, I usually start with a cup of chips at a time. You can always easily add more if you need to without having to open the smoker, so it's no big deal. If you're doing something like pork butt you probably want a full hopper of chips. If smoking ribs and other foods like jerky, I would go with less. If you do load the chimney full the chips, eventually, the chips will get stuck inside, and you'll have to use a long screwdriver or rod to tamp them down during your cook. If you don't, the hopper will look full, but it isn't and the smoke will drop off. The chips get stuck away from the heat element. Creosote and moisture builds inside the chimney and the chips get glued to the inside of the hopper. Not a big deal, but be prepared to knock them down. Update: I started making jerky and this is the perfect accessory for that. Set your smoker thermostat for 160°F and six hours later you have the best jerky you've ever tasted. The crazy thing about homemade jerky is it is 10 times better than anything you can buy. Once you try making it yourself you'll be hooked, "I guarontee" - Justin Wilson. (Pro tip, always spray your racks with non-stick spray before smoking or making jerky, makes cleanup so much easier.)

Cold smoker works great! Dry wood chips last about 2-3 hours, soaked wood chips last 4-6 hours. You can even use pellets in this thing, just dont fill it all the way because the pellets expand and will push the cap open (lasts 8 hours!) It's a gravity fed system, wood chips or pellets are placed inside a square tube with metal screen bottom, you fill it while unit is installed over the small electrical element. The metal cap for the tube keeps most of the smoke from escaping pushing it into your smoker. It has an ash catcher tray that you can remove to view the element and screen, it works better if you tap the metal tube or its cap occasionally to make the ashes drop allowing it to breathe and keep the smoke production high (ash blanket blocks air flow). Keep your main smokers exhaust vent slightly open to allow air to move through the unit to produce the most smoke, otherwise the smoke will escape through the lid or door instead, and smoke will be lost. The temperature stays cold, like it should. Just remember to keep the main smokers hearing element from turning on by not setting time or temperature, this way you're only using it to tell you what the temp is (when smoking cheese)... I keep the water pan full of ice, too. When using it for hot smoking, use the main unit to control temperature and time (obviously), just keep the side attachment unit (cold smoker) full of chips or pellets and do your thing. No more messing with the tiny chip tray! Make sure everything is assembled correctly before operating the unit (no stray washers or bolts in electrical connections or switch area. It's a simple system that needs minimal attention to keep it producing that perfect smoke. As far as design, it has a couple of issues, none of which affect the performance of the unit, just a little oversight that could be improved in the future. For example, the lower electrical vents on the unit dont allow it to sit flush against the main smoker (see pic), and the paint under the lid bubbles off (some sort of reaction from smoke and moisture with the paint). Also, you can't use the legs or it will not sit flush with the smoker at the bottom, this won't matter if you're using the stand for the main smoker. Attach it to the smoker using the hardware provided and omit the legs for the small smoke box, and plug the holes with something to ensure proper air flow restriction. You dont want too much air flow, nor do you want too little. You'll get the hang of it after a while. Small tweaks here and there, and it will be perfect.

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.

This came in the UK with an American plug attached to the power cord. I replaced it with a UK plug and switched it on and it blew the heating element straight away rendering the item completely useless. Yes I should have instead used a USA to UK plug adapter to counter the 110 US voltage against the 240 UK voltage but I wasn’t aware of that at the time so that’s £100 down the drain.

Works great on my electric. Saves you from opening the door to refill the smoker tray in the electric smoker. Saves time for long cooks . for other chores around the house

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

US Netzteil für 120V, in Deutschland ohne Spannungswandler nicht zu verwenden! Nirgendwo vermerkt, Kundenservice verweist auf den amerikanischen Verkäufer (von dem ich in der Beschreibung auch nichts gesehen habe), und damit ist für Amazon Deutschland die Sache erledigt. Absolute Frechheit!
