Source model text: Propane smoker Model # 20050211. Incident: Purchased Masterbuilt propane smoker last year and used the unit for the third time this year and luckily we were in backyard as the Masterbuilt smoker set to low and turned around to see a flame shooting out from underneath the unit which I turned off the gas. Inspected the unit which because of poor design which gas fed underneath the unit and close to burner burned away from connection, burned new nonmetallic flooring and melted the connection assembly. Reached out to Masterbuilt and have Case number [REDACTED] with description and photos showing damage to gazebo and unit. The response was spider nest in hose which when speaking to [REDACTED] that it�s not spiderwebs, It�s fibers in the gas line that melted and now Masterbuilt will not return emails or calls so now I will be reaching out to Consumer Affairs as I�m doing now and USA.Gov for investigation and recall because of poor design and defected pro product.

This ignited and send a larger flame and caught the entire "Water Tray" on fire, which erupted into a very large flame and enveloped my entire face. I threw myself back away from the flame swatting to put it out and try to keep it from my face. The grill, which was positioned 9 feet behind me and was not on at the time, broke my fall.
