Electric Smoker help.
I have a vertical charcoal smoker but I am also looking at getting an electric smoker with more room and the convenience it can provide.

I am having family from out of town and plan to do a pork butt and pork ribs next Saturday. However, with the charcoal smoker and the babysitting it requires, I have to be home most of the day to cook like I want. I'd rather set and forget the electric smoker for hours at a time so we can be out doing things rather than hanging around the house.

Anyone have any they like? I'm looking a something similar to the style posted below but not set on size or company.

How do you put the wood in these to smoke? I've read some still just put the chunks in there on the heating element and let it burn as the wood box doesn't allow much wood to be present.

Anyone have any recommendations?

I hope my soon to be adopted father, GloryDayz, can forgive me for my outlandish behavior.

Sorry pops.

Calm down. Been doing it for years. Put the chips in the water. The chips outside the water smokes. As the water level lowers, more chips are exposed. But, I also add more.

Again, I only use this method when I watching the smoker.

So you mound over the water level? This is coming into focus now.

Doesn't that cause you to have to open and check the smoker to add water constantly or are you building a pretty significant mound?

What would that accomplish? How is that any different from putting them in minus the water?

The water will slowly evaporate, and as it does more wood will be exposed and begin to smoke.

Yeah. That I understand. But what's the point? He says he does this when he's around to tend to it. from my understanding, this would make the would last longer and smoke slower.

You have to have water or the meat will dry. You just put dry wood in there, you will burn your meat.

I always cook slow. Attending or not. I have parties. I'm around all day. I open the door I increase the temp till it gets back up to what I want. A 12 hour cook I'll open it up 4-5 times.

Bottom line, I like playing with my meat.

I inderstand you need water. So, you're not putting the wood chips in a separate pan than the water pan? I realize I may be hitting BucEyedPea level annoying here, but I'm really trying to understand.

I'm still interviewing call girls. I figure it'd be nice of me to set you up with a sister first.
