Steer clear
Masterbuilt is no longer a grill/smoker company dedicated to making outdoor cooking products. It was "acquired" by a company named Middleby that uses its name reputation to sell poorly constructed products with planned obsolesence and not even an adequate replacement parts program. Your experience will be costly, frustrating and disappointing. Buy a used decades-old Masterbuilt and rebuild/restore it OR go with a reputable modern manufacturer.
