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?

Virtually everything I know about preparing Q I learned from this place. If you've smoked before you probably know a lot of it, but there is still some good info about electric (cheater) smokers.

Here's the thread I started. Tons of good info.

You usually have to let it run a few hours to burn the chinese worker funk out.

I'd start with a chicken. That way you get the best feel for the heat and how it works. It's cheap and hard to **** up.

I don't think you will find anyone who says differently. I'd been smoking with cheater smokers for 5 years but when I got the new one, did the same steps again. You need to know your smoker a little before you waste a $100 worth of meat.

How do you season the smoker? Just by doing some cheap chicken the first run?

Run it without meat. Just the heat and smoke.

Yea, I'm going 9 pucks deep on high temp my first night to season it. I think that would be enough, right? 3 hours.

I read online that many buy those throw away aluminum cake pans measuring 13"x9"x2" in order to not have to refill the drip bowl as much during a smoke as the one provided is pretty small.
