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'm washing the racks and drip pan/bowl. Will coat inside in PAM tomorrow and smoke for 2-3 hours. I should be ready to roll for Saturday after that.

She looks beautiful on my back porch.

The bradley smoker forums are a great resource if you need advice before a smoke.

Just an fyi, you can usually find those at the dollar store for way cheaper than a grocery store. Quality isn't as good, but it's a disposable pan...

I buy the throw away pans. One less thing to clean. Thats the point of having a cheater smoker. Less work for smoked meat.

The problem is the bowl is still small, for longer smokes you have to dump the pucks halfway because they fill up the bowl too much. With the throw away pan I don't have to worry about that.

They would if they weren't pushed off and the outside sort of does, apparently after 20 mins the smoke they give off is not good for taste so they are pushed into the water bowl and extinguished.

This is true.

The smoke is also nasty if there's no water to extinguish the pucks.

I have a Bradley, but the smoking element went out. It still cooks the meat, but it's basically an oven now. Sucks because I think it was $600-$700. It's probably only a $50 repair or so, but I don't want to **** with it, and I just bought the exact same smoker as Lew.

Anybody need a smoker that is willing to replace/repair the smoking element? I've also got about $50 worth of the biscuits. (That's the only shitty thing about the Bradleys...you have to buy their wood, and it's ridiculously overpriced.)

How long did you have it before the smoking element went out?

Less than 6 months. I'm sure it would be under warranty, but I threw all that shit away.

It probably just got knocked loose when I was moving it or something, but I don't know shit about that kind of crap...and I'm REALLY lazy. I was going to fix it (would have been on my to-do list for years before I ever got around to it), but I saw them on sale at Academy and said **** it and bought a new one.
