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?

Welp, this takes no checking for temp. Yes, you have to load more chips, but that's easy. Water lasts 8-10 hours. So if you can deal with 225 degrees (190 in the dead of winter) for the whole process, this puppy is awesome and is something you can afford to toss if you hate it ($93).

Well I think I am going with the Bradley Original. I can use the pucks when I am super lazy or can add wood chips if I will be around. Plus I've got the vertical Brinkmann charcoal smoker for another alternative.

I just purchased the Masterbuilt at Bass Pro on Black Friday. I've always used a firebox on my charcoal grill, so this will be my first experience attempting to use an electric smoker. If I like the results as well as my charcoal smoker, I'll consider spending the cash for a better quality smoker. But, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to purchase one for $189.

My parents stopped by and I showed them the Bradley Smoker I am going to order. They said they never got us a housewarming gift when we bought in February and they'd gladly buy "us" that. I think I'll gladly take their offer and not tell my wife they offered a housewarming gift as she'd probably want something she could use too.



Oh and wife, if you are lurking under my account and read this. **** you, I know you'll love my cooking!

I've had a master built electric smoker from bass pro for 3 years. I'll throw some ribs or a pork butt in there for 8 hours and take off on the motorcycle for a nice ride, come back and dinner is done!
