Masterbuilt Manufacturing is recalling approximately 11,000 electric smokers because the wood chip tray may not slide securely into the unit. This defect can cause the wood to combust, which may blow the smoker's cabinet door open. The company has received six reports of fires where the door was blown open, though no injuries have been reported. These smokers were sold at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's stores between May 2012 and August 2012 for between $270 and $430.
A poorly fitted wood chip tray can lead to unexpected wood combustion within the unit, creating enough pressure to force the cabinet door open and posing a fire hazard to users and property.
Consumers should immediately stop using and unplug the recalled smokers and contact Masterbuilt Manufacturing for a free repair kit.
