Okay - buddy of mine decided he didn't want to clean his 2-3 year old Masterbuilt Smokehouse for a few months and when it came time to cook some ribs he didn't feel like dealing with the mess. Results...one nasty smokehouse.
This ended up in him going out to buy the new model (which I think was his plan...haha) and he said I could take the old one because he was just gonna toss it in the trash.
So here I am...nasty, greasy, neglected Masterbuilt Smokehouse. I assume it's the 30 model because the new one he bought was bigger, and the pics of the "30" look exactly like this one. All black, no window, controls on top/back. I did a test run (no food) and it works perfectly...held temp easily.
So far I've sprayed it down with oven cleaner and wiped off several layers of grease/crud from it. I think it's going to be perfectly fine to use once I clean it a couple more times.
Question is...is it worth messing with, or are these things pretty much junk after a few years of neglect/abuse?
