Masterbuilt 710 WiFi Digital Electric Smoker
Masterbuilt's current connected electric cabinet, and the model that replaced the older Bluetooth-only digital smokers. It is narrower and deeper than the 40-inch — 710 sq in over four racks — and adds WiFi through the Masterbuilt app with support for four meat probes, one of which is in the box. The cooking mechanism is unchanged: a resistance element plus a side-loading wood-chip tray, so the temperature ceiling is still 275°F.
Goes to the manufacturer. We earn nothing on this one.
Specifications
Features
Pros
- ✓Real WiFi rather than Bluetooth, so the cook is visible from anywhere with a connection, not just the back yard
- ✓Four-probe support is unusual at this price — enough to monitor a full rack load individually
- ✓Side wood-chip loader is retained, so smoke can be topped up without dropping cabinet temperature
- ✓Narrower 22-inch footprint than the 40-inch model while keeping four full racks, which suits a tight patio or balcony
- ✓Fully insulated body plus thermostatic control holds a set temperature within a few degrees for 12-plus hours unattended
Cons
- ✗710 sq in is 260 less than the 40-inch model at the same $350 price — you pay the difference in connectivity, not capacity
- ✗Still capped at 275°F, so skin never crisps and there is no sear stage
- ✗App reliability is the weak point of every connected cabinet in this class; a wired backup thermometer is still worth owning
- ✗1-year warranty, and the controller is the component most likely to fail
- ✗Chip tray gives thinner smoke than charcoal — expect a pale smoke ring compared with a drum or bullet

Masterbuilt 40-Inch Digital Electric Smoker
The 40-inch step up from the 30-inch already in the catalog: the same insulated cabinet and side wood-chip loader, stretched to four racks and 970 sq in. An electric smoker heats with a resistance element and makes smoke by smouldering chips in a tray beside it, which is a fundamentally different mechanism from a pellet cabinet's auger — the smoke is thinner and more controllable, and you can hold 160°F for cold-ish work such as sausage or cheese. The viewing window and glass door are on the pricier Window and Legs variant, not this one.

Masterbuilt 30-Inch Digital Electric Smoker
The Masterbuilt 30-inch Digital Electric Smoker is the best-selling electric smoker in the US, a vertical cabinet with digital temperature control and a side wood-chip loader. It's the simplest way to smoke meat.
A propane vertical cabinet, which sits between an electric smoker and a charcoal one: a single burner at the base heats a wood-chip tray, and the ThermoTemp thermostat opens and closes the gas valve to hold a set temperature the way a gas oven does. That thermostat is the distinguishing feature — most propane cabinets in this price band have a manual needle valve and drift with the weather. 960 sq in over four racks, and a 375°F ceiling that beats every electric cabinet here.

Masterbuilt Gravity Series 600
The current entry point to Masterbuilt's gravity-fed line and the direct replacement for the discontinued Gravity Series 560. A vertical hopper holds charcoal above the firebox and feeds it down by gravity while a variable-speed DigitalFan regulates air, so it behaves like a pellet grill but burns lump or briquettes. The 600 keeps the 560's footprint but adds dual-wall insulation with a porcelain interior and takes the hopper to 17.6 lb.

Masterbuilt Gravity Series 800
The Masterbuilt Gravity Series 800 is a digital, app-controlled charcoal grill, griddle, and smoker that uses a gravity-fed charcoal hopper and a fan-driven digital controller to automate charcoal cooking. It blends real charcoal flavor with set-and-forget convenience.

Masterbuilt Gravity Series 1050
The long-running large Gravity Series and still the volume seller of the line. Same gravity hopper and DigitalFan as the 600, in a wider cart-style body with 1,050 sq in across a main grate, a warming rack and a smoke rack. It sits between the 800 griddle-hybrid and the newer 1150 in Masterbuilt's range, and differs from the 1150 mainly in hopper size and cabinet updates rather than in how it cooks.
