" ...  I certainly don't wish to be eating anything that has been smoked with this rubber paint.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Only complaint is that it is designed for the Masterbuilt smokers that have no stand. ... Had to build a smalll stand to support it for use with my smoker.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The lid does not close tightly, so the smokes leaks right out of it.  ...  "
comment
" ...  On my new MES40 the legs of the cold smoker cant be installed or it is too high for the opening to line up with the hole in the main smoker.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Works fine, but after only three uses, the paint on the inside the lid, around the top and the chimney bubbled up and peeling away.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Second complaint was the flimsy method of securing the smoker to the main unit.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I knocked 1 star off because the paint on the inside lid melted off on the first use.  ...  "

" ...  I've literally heard "best steak I've ever had" by more then 30 people.  ...  "

" ...  I did some cheese right off the bat. ... Put cheese out at family Christmas get together and it was a big hit.  ...  "

" ...  This fit the bill for me.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Removing the chip tray from inside, you should be able to see the hook properly catching the square slot.  ...  "
comment
" ...  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).  ...  "
comment
" ...  I added a three ft. piece of 3" aluminum drier vent.  ...  "
comment
" ...  My larger chip tray wouldnt fit, so this gadget was my best option. ... Without the legs it fits fine, but sits directly on the floor, and that may worry you if you cook on a deck as the outer body of the cold smoker gets pretty hot.  ...  "
comment
" ...  And my original grill cover still fits!  ...  "
comment
" ...  They tried to get a hold of Masterbuilt, but they were closed.  ...  "
