This may seem a bit too obvious…but I would invite you! and actually, I’d hope you’d do the cooking/smoking. LOL – a delicious beef brisket sounds wonderful right about now. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would invited my family see i was adopeted 47 years ago and found my family and even meet my birthmother this year sorry to say she passaway this past may and she asked me one thing to do that was to stay intouch with the family! so i would love to have a big family reunion i would cook mmm ribs chicken really anything i can fill it with even my kitchen sink! I am know as the 6 meat dinner party host at my church and plus the master build team can come! i love meet new people and makeing new friends! i know this is a long shot to win!
My Grandpa. And the rest of the family. I would smoke some Ribs and ABT’S
Very nice Richy :~)
I think I’d invite Alton Brown, and I’d probably do pork ribs, a butt, and some mac & cheese.
I would invite Barack Obama and smoke a pork butt. Nothing like some pulled pork to discuss the debt ceiling.
I would invite some of the top smoker kings in the south and would make my smoked brisket. I would love to hear what the smoke masters opinions are on my creation. Oh, and I would make sure to include some of my home made BBQ on the side. So much better thank store bought.
I would invite members of our military and their families to spend the day with our family, I would smoke up some pork ribs along with a brisket or two because as Americans we can enjoy whatever we want whenever we want because of the sacrifices made daily by our men and women in uniform.
Would love to win this smoker! Our friends have a Masterbuilt smoker and they produce some wonderful tasting food with it! They have only praise for their smoker and I’m sure if I win this one I will feel the same way!
I would smoke baby back ribs and linguica. I would invite my family – They live on the other side of the country & I don’t get to spend nearly enough time with them.
I think I would like John McLemore and wife as he sure knows how to make some Dadgum good food
I’d invite the House and Senate leadership of both parties. Over a nice long overnight brisket smoking, we’d crack open some beverages of choice, and talk. Good food, good beer, and make them sit and talk like neighbors, civilized folk. No one allowed to talk work or politics, just recipes, family, funny stories, and tall tales. Then we’d feast like Kings upon my bacon and onion stuffed brisket, maybe with a bacon exlposion appetizer. Then I’d send everyone on their way, with the hopes that maybe they’ll get along a little better, and behave a bit better too in the future, and that would be better for everyone. Once you’ve bonded over hours of brisket and smoke, you get along just a little bit better.
I think it wouild be a hoot to invite the staff and share methods and recipes. I have quite a few things that I do with my smoker that arent covered int he book or website
I would invite all the neighbors and fill it up with pork butts.

Oh my! I would invite Robb Walsh and his family. His Texan cookbooks inspire me like none other. I’d definitely smoke both a brisket and turkey with my Rudy’s Rubs for both!

A worldwide family reuniun would be so cool and we would make chicken and ribs. thks for the chance to dream.
I would invite my in-laws. I would smoke ribs and a pork shoulder with all the fixins. Then and only then would my father in-law acknowledge that when it comes to mouth watering ribs, I have him beat! That would be a good day!!

I’d invite my family and friends, and I’d try to replicate my friend Morresa’s dad’s famous brisket. It’s the BEST I’ve ever eaten, and I’ve got to figure out how he does it!
I’d invite all of my extended family. Over the years we have grown up, married, & moved all over the place. I am so pleased to have reconnected with everyone over Facebook & love seeing everyone’s pictures but it just isn’t the same as getting together at Grandma & Grandpa’s house like we used to. I personally would turn the food prep over to my brother who lives to cook, grill, smoke, you name it. I, however, would request ribs & chicken.

In the real world, my family would be begging to have us over, once they hear we are smoking Ribs and Pork Butt
Wow, I really had to think hard about this one! Because I promote the benefits of family dining as many times a week as possible; I would invite local teenagers and their families to share a smoked BBQ dinner with my family so they could see how wonderful it is to share food with your loved ones in a safe no negative zone! The best thing in the world to enhance communication is sitting around eating really wonderful food!
I would invite my grandfather’s to a bbq. They both have passed away but they had a passion for good food! I would make mac and cheese and corn on the cob in the smoker.
First I want to say- AWESOME appearance on Sat. morning. The Mac N Cheese looked divine!!!! What did Huckabee think?
Anyone in the world? My dad and two aunts. All have passed away but the best memories of my life were when we would get together, EAT, and just enjoy each other. I miss them so since they are all gone but so thankful I have my own family and friends to continue the tradition!

Let’s make it a great summer with a smoker from Masterbuilt!!!! I love Masterbuilt smokers and my family would make great meals with it!!

I’d invite my entire extended family for one bodaciously delicious weekend fun fest of fun, food, tunes and great memories.
I’d invite some friends and co-workers to share the results from this new smoker. Let’s see I’d start with smoking a Boston Butt & sausage rings on the top rack then making pulled BBQ from the Boston Butt. Smoking some veggies on the second rack (catching the dripping from the Boston Butt). Can’t forget the Mac & Cheeese. Then smoked shrimp & scallops with butter and Ol Bay®–yum yumm!!!
We are a military family and live on base, so I would have to invite a crowd of Marines and sailors over for some brisket!

I would invite my neighbors because I think we have gotten away from really knowing who lives around us and retreated to much into our own little world.
Enjoy watching you on QVC. Love my turkey fryer and this would be an welcome addition to that!
I love to invite my father if he was still with us. He taught me a great deal about cooking and got me interested in BBQ in the beginning. I would cook my famous brisket (started from his recipe) with some ABT’s and smoked mac & cheese. I would like to show him what a great BBQ cook I have become.
I would invite Julia Child and all our friends and family! Julia has been my idol ever since I can remember. I would do a beef brisket in the smoker.
I would invite my dad who died before he had a chance to see how much I really learned about grilling and smoking from him….he loved leg of lamb and brisket so I would absolutely do at least one of each…to start
Thanx to Masterbuilt, we’re getting to know our neighbors a lot better – Mesquite-Smoked home-made jalapeno poppers & brats and cold beer on the front patio sure draws a happy crowd
I would love to have my Daddy back here on earth with me.Man, he could fire up a grill and smoker! We would share wonderful family memories that always included something cooked on the grill!

I Stuff mine with Pepper Jack Cheese, Ortega Chiles, Bacon Bits and a Secret Spicy Suprise. I’d serve the meal up with some of my Wifes Famouse Baked Beans with little Burnt ends chopped up in it, a few Roasted Ears of Corn and some Freshly Made Honey Corn Bread.

I would invite my parents, both gone now, for the most special meal ever. I would smoke a turkey breast, beef brisket, and pork loin and add a mop sauce that I learned to make in Austin, TX. I would thank them for everything they did for me and pepper them with the questions I never had a chance to ask. It would be a day full of laughter, tears, hugs and kisses, one I would give anything to have! Thank you for the wonderful memories this question evoked…
We always have an open invite for neighbors and family…we cook out every weekend! (one of the Florida benefits) I would have to do pork shoulder and some ribs…MMMmmm..dadgum that’s good!!
I would invite you and your wife John so I could show you how I cook…You might have to help me a little (okay, a lot) on using the smoker, but I’ll make you a dessert that will knock your socks off..:))

After our fill, we end the day with a wiffle game and some Georgia peach homemade ice cream.
I would go with President Obama and John Boehner. It looks like they already have a deal but I’m sure things would have gone much smoother if they negotiated over some smoked ribs and pulled pork.

My dad, but it isn’t realistic, I really want him to visit, but he has really bad ms. I would love to smoke some venison or baby back ribs!
My daughters and I met John at Fox News in New York in November of 2010. We watched John fry turkeys in the Butterball Electric Fryer. Since then we have aquired the fryer and several other masterbuilt items. We couldn’t be more pleased! My husband is the most popular man in the neighborhood when the ribs and brisket are smelling good!! Good Luck to you all!

I’d invite over all of my friends whose spouses are deployed with the military and their kids. It’s time for someone to take care of them. I’d make (or I’d make my husband make) mushroom and cheese stuffed hamburgers (with bacon on top) and a smoked meatloaf. These are pretty quick to make, but are delicious, using just good old fashioned ground chuck thats not too lean. As a side item, deep friend tater tots and japalenos wrapped up in bacon. Of course, Mac and Cheese for the kids, and some regular burgers for the little ones who haven’t learned to like the good stuff yet:)
I would love to make some “dadgum good” ribs in this great smoker.
I would invite all of my children from out of state. Since I had my youngest 3 years ago I’ve only had them all together once. They love the pulled pork i make. What a joy that would be!!!

I’d invite all my family and friends over to celebrate my brothers return from Afghanistan in August. Of course we would do ribs, he always claimed his wet ribs are far superior to my dry ribs, who can argue when they are both so good. I also would do sausage, mac n’ cheese and some corn on the cobb. I dont think this will be an if, cause I am going to make it happen in a few weeks in honor of his service to our country.

We have one big card party and listen to plenty of blues music.

Free air time. win win situation
I would invite my Dad and Mom, though they have been gone for over 30 years. I’d invite many of their military veteran buddies and spouses. This was the “Greatest Generation” and didn’t talk about what they had seen and done. I’d love to cook for a bunch like that.

I would have my son come home from his first year at Bama and we would have his favorite…RIBS…I’d have to lure him back home with ribs since he can get Dreamland Ribs in T-Town. I have a feeling the Masterbuilt would be going back with him for Saturday tailgating!
I would invite all my relatives from SC and I would smoke pork loin or turkey breast!
