My husband and I purchased this Masterbuilt smoker last year. My question is how often do you have to check the wood chips for a five or six hour cooking span? On the presentation is presented as put your food in with one little scoop of chips and forget about it but my husband seems to think that he has to check it every two hours or so is this true? I would love to be able to smoke something overnight while I'm sleeping

@Hi @chinagirl - thanks for the great question! The amount of chips you add during the smoking process is a matter of preference. We recommend adding chips about once per hour during the first couple of hours of a recipe. If you're doing an overnight smoke, add chips once when you begin, once again 30 minutes into the recipe, and once more at the one hour mark to give the recipe a good boost of smoke before leaving it alone for the night. Enjoy!

This will probably seem like a stupid question but here goes. Masterbuilt is always talking about smoked hams. But, when you buy a ham it's already cooked. If you put a cooked ham into the smoker won't it ruin the ham?

If you can buy a non-cooked ham, where would you buy it?

I purchased the Masterbuilt smoker from QVC last May, my digital unit is in the back area on top of the smoker. The keyboard gets screwed down to top. My unit will only work when the keyboard is not screwed down to unit I don't know if there is a wiring issue any suggestions?

I have purchased 2 of these from QVC for my husband over the years for his Christmas and Birthday. He still uses the older one also, but loves his newer version with the glass windows. We love to cook all different meats, and they turn out wonderful! I must tell a story that happened recently at Sam's Club. We were out shopping and found a Masterbuilt smoker on the floor, and of course, my husband and I stopped to check out. Another gentleman and his wife stopped by a little later, he was asking my husband if he had one! Needless to say, a 30 minute conversation happened, and the other gentleman purchased one! He also gave QVC a compliment as to pricing and product knowledge that is passed on to the customer thru the live presentations. As I said, my husband loves his smokers, and will continue to use weekly. Another wonderful thing is they clean up wonderfully! This company is wonderful and appreciate QVC and the presentations prepared. Thank you for this wonderful product.

just purchase your smoke. One question. When you smoke a turkey will it come out as juicey as the chickens we saw on the QVC show?

Hi @maggie6161 - Great question! A pre-cooked ham still remains juicy and flavorful when you smoke it in our smokers. Although it's already "cooked," adding the smoke flavor gives a fantastic result. If you ever decide to cook a raw ham, it takes much longer to cook/smoker, but smoking is a great option. Ask your local butcher for a fresh ham, if you'd like to give it a try. Our hams here at QVC are pre-cooked and we warm them up in the smoker and add smoke flavor. Thanks!

Hi @Diamond Dog - Our smoker is electric and not considered waterproof. As with any electric appliance, keep it in a dry area. The included cover in our QVC TSV protects it in all weather!

Hi @KittyBear - The "low and slow" process of smoking in our electric smokers gives you a juicy result. We do have a water pan in the smoker - fill halfway with juice, water or any favorite beverage to add moisture and flavor to the smoking chamber. Thanks!

@Megathon Yes! Smoke the turkey to the internal temperature of 165 degrees for the best results!
