    Happy smokin'

    My name is Ray, I live in southeast Iowa. Smoked a few times on a gas grill (indirect heat with wood chips) and I do love smoked meat. Wife has been asking for Christmas idea and as I walked by the smokers it hit me like a puff of smoke  (Smoker). I am retired, 61, and glad to be a member!

    Trying to decide between a propane or electric smoker. I keep reading that electric models do not produce a smoky flavor. Why is that?. Can you not place wood chips above the heat? Thanks for your info!
