This document is a user manual for a Masterbuilt Bluetooth Digital Electric Smoker, specifically models MB20073420 and MB20079819.
Function Description:
The Masterbuilt Bluetooth Digital Electric Smoker is an outdoor cooking appliance designed for smoking various foods such as poultry, pork, beef, lamb, fish, and vegetables. It utilizes an electric heating element and wood chips to generate smoke and cook food at controlled temperatures. A key feature is its Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to monitor and potentially control the smoker via a smart device using the Masterbuilt app. The smoker is equipped with a digital control panel for setting temperature, time, and managing other cooking functions. It includes components like racks, a water bowl, a wood chip tray, and a drip pan to facilitate the smoking process.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Model Numbers: MB20073420, MB20079819
- Power Source: Electric, requires a grounded electrical outlet.
- Temperature Range: The manual indicates temperature settings up to 135°C (275°F) for pre-seasoning and various cooking temperatures for different foods.
- Meat Probe: Includes a meat probe for accurate internal food temperature readings, with an acceptable range of ±5°C (±9°F) for verification.
- Cabinet Temperature Accuracy: Cabinet temperature readings have an acceptable tolerance of ±10°C (±18°F) of the average cabinet temperature.
- Extension Cord: If used, must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, suitable for outdoor use, with a marked electrical rating at least as great as the appliance's, and arranged to prevent tripping. Maximum length of extension cord is 8m (26 ft) with a minimum gauge of 12/3.
- Construction: Features a smoker body, door, digital control panel, main and grill + finish elements, rack supports, and various other components for assembly.
Usage Features:
- Digital Control Panel: Allows users to set desired cooking temperature, countdown timer, and monitor meat probe and cabinet temperatures.
- Bluetooth Connectivity: Enables pairing with a smart device via the Masterbuilt app for remote monitoring and control. If the door is opened during a cook cycle, the app switches to "monitor only" mode.
- Wood Chip Loader: Designed for adding wood chips to generate smoke. The manual specifies using 115ml (approx. 1/2 cup) of wood chips at a time.
- Water Bowl: Can be filled with water or other liquids (e.g., apple juice) to add moisture and flavor to smoked foods. Users can also add fruits, onions, or herbs.
- Racks: Multiple racks are provided for holding food during smoking. A notched rack is included, and an optional non-stick pan (sold separately) can be used with it.
- Grease Management: Includes a drip pan and grease tray to collect drippings, which should be emptied frequently.
- Pre-seasoning: A mandatory initial step before first use, involving running the smoker at 135°C (275°F) for 3 hours, with wood chips added during the last 45 minutes, to prepare the smoker and burn off manufacturing oils.
- Food Loading: Recommendations include pre-heating the smoker, avoiding overloading, not covering racks with aluminum foil, and minimizing door openings to maintain temperature.
- Door Latch Adjustment: The door latch can be adjusted to tighten the door seal and minimize smoke loss.
- Wood Chip Smoking Guide: Provides recommendations for different types of wood chips (Hickory, Mesquite, Alder, Pecan, Maple, Apple, Cherry) for various meats and fish.

Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: The smoker should be cleaned after each use to prevent mold and mildew. Racks, water bowl, and drip pan can be cleaned with mild dish detergent. Wood chip tray and loader require frequent cleaning to remove ash and residue. The interior and exterior can be wiped with a damp cloth; cleaning agents should be avoided.
- Ash Disposal: Cold ashes should be placed in aluminum foil, soaked with water, and discarded in a non-combustible container.
- Storage: Store the smoker indoors in a covered and dry area, out of reach of children, once all surfaces are cold.
- Troubleshooting Guide: Provides solutions for common issues such as no power, display problems, heating element issues, meat probe inaccuracies, and grease leaks.
- Component Access: Instructions are provided for accessing the Power Circuit Board (PCB) and heating elements for troubleshooting or replacement.
- Meat Probe Verification: Steps are outlined to test the accuracy of the meat probe at low (ice water) and high (boiling water) temperatures.
- Cabinet Temperature Verification: Instructions for checking the accuracy of the cabinet temperature display.
- Warranty: A 2-year limited warranty covers defects in material and workmanship under proper assembly, normal use, and recommended care. It does not cover paint finish, rust, or damage from misuse, abuse, or accidents.
