I want to get an electric smoker that costs between $100 and $200 and I am trying to choose between these models:
1. Brinkmann Gourmet Electric Smoke 'N Grill (has no temperature control, keeps one temperature). uses lava rocks
2. Brinkmann Smoke 'N Grill with Additional Electric Converter Kit (Original has thermostat) (same as #1)
(Note: I do have a more detailed thermometer which I have purchased that has the temperature numbers that I can use in place of the WARM/IDEAL/HOT one Brinkmann has)
3. CharBroil 14201677 Electric Smoker (has analog temperature control), has vents
4. Old Smokey Electric Smoker (formerly known as Redi-Smok)-has analog temperature control, no vent but uses grease absorbent granules
5. Academy Sports Electric Smoker-same as #1 but has detailed temperature gauge and vent unlike Brinkmann-it costs $79.95 and if you go to http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/out...1?color=Green&N=578824977&Ntt=smokers&Ntk=All , you will see it.
6. Bradley's new Compact 2 rack Smoker that drops pucks, however, it only uses pucks made by Bradley (or any other company, if available) instead of the wood chips or sticks that the other five can use. Here are the links from Bradley: http://www.north-america.bradleysmoker.com/product/2-rack-compact-smoker/ and Bass Pro Shops: http://www.basspro.com/Bradley-Smoker-2-Rack-Electric-Smoker/product/1404091336283/
I know if you BBQ food in an electric smoker you can't really get the bark or the smoke ring that BBQ food gives you in a charcoal smoker, but I'm tired of either having the coals go out, or being singed by the fire which has caused my family,
