    Vote for Best Electric Smoker

    Another vote for the Smokin-it smoker!  I have been smoking with the SI #2 for five years and it is still going strong, and that's pretty much every weekend throughout the year.   Love it!

    Electric smokers vs charcoal smokers?

    Mike...when I decided a couple of years ago to try out smoking meat, I wrestled with what kind of smoker to get...charcoal, propane, electric.  I did a lot of research online and watched way to many youtube videos of various types of smokers.    When I determined that electric was my choice, my...

    Good deal!   I also foil the wood as Divot described, and I set the temp at 225F and let it go.   With the foil, I get light smoke and no combustion.  Good luck  this weekend!  Cheers

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    The SI smokers take very little wood...I typically use no more than 3oz for most smokes, and maybe as high as 5oz for a long smoke (eg, boston butt).   I purchased a digital scale and weigh the wood every time.   I also use fruitawood and sometimes have to split the wood chunk to get the desired...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    Hi Tommy...yes, you could post questions here, but you might also want to go to the smokin-it.com website and post questions on the forum there.  I think you will reach quite a few more people who have SI smokers and can be of help in answering your questions.

    I have a smokin it #2 and love it.  Got in back in January and have been smoking something every weekend.  Solid design and tight seal - have not had a bad meal yet.

    Hasty Bake St Louis Spares 3-2-1 Method

    Good observation and advice, Sooner!     I have done babybacks using the 2-2-1 method and found that the size of the racks and amount of meat will affect the smokin' time, and so adjustments are necessary along the way.

    The recommendation is no more than 4oz.  I have used less than get a lot of smoke taste, so it doesn't take much wood.    Smokin-It does not recommend adding more wood after the smoker is up an running...could lead to dangerous burns with a super hot smoke box!   I am not sure if that is what...

    I have a #2 and it usually takes a half hour to come to full temp.   I have heard that if you put too much meat in the smoker, it will affect reaching the desired temp, but I would think 3 racks in a #3 is not too much.   I have had a couple of instances where the meat was touching the remote...

    With 10 racks, it is a monster!  They should be releasing the Big Daddy next week, but it's seems to be more of a commercial model than personal use...I don't know how my family could eat food off of 10 racks...and I really don't want to become the neighborhood smoking-it chef!!

    I am not sure when the #4 is coming out, but you can go to the smoking-it web site, enter the forum there, and you will see a discussion board for the big daddy that includes several pics.  Looks like a monster to me - 10 racks!

    Hi all!

    Thanks for the warm welcome!   I have taken Jeff's E-Course and saved all of the documents!   I also purchased Jeff's rub and sauce recipes last week, and had some excellent ribs using them last weekend!  Great stuff.  Location has been updated, also.  Thanks.

    Hi all!

    Hello, my name is Steve from Delaware.   I decided to try out smoking meats earlier this year, but wrestled with what type of smoker to get...Weber, offset, electric, etc.  After a lot of research, I found the smoking-it web site and reviewed their three unit models and comments from others.  I...

    SMOKIN-IT SMOKER

    I purchased the smoking-it #2 in January.  I have been smoking with it practically every weekend...very nice, sturdy unit that holds temps great.   They offer 3 versions now, with a fourth unit (The Big Daddy) coming soon.   I highly recommend it for folks like me that like to set it and forget...
