    Electric vs Wood

    So I have had an electric smoker for about 2yrs and would consider myself a novice still with smoking. Chicken wings, and smaller items I can cook well in my electric smoker. I've had a problem with larger meats because my electric smoker doesn't have a side chip loader, so if I need to add...

    Meat Temp

    I'll look into getting a new thermometer for sure.  I'm going to experiment with running the smoker for a couple hours with some water and woodchips in the woodchip tray and see if that helps keep the woodchips longer while still giving the flavor.  I'll try this with something in-expensive, or...

    Meat Temp

    Well after 10 hours of smoking, and 3-4 hours of it being at 140 degrees I ended up putting it on the grill and finishing it.  It tasted great.  However, I feel that the issue I'm having with temperature is the fact that I have to open up my smoker ever hour and the meat can't get going.  I'm...

    Meat Temp

    Mine does NOT have a chip loader.  I have to open the door, pull out the bottom rack, and I have a water pan, and chip tray that has a lid.  I have to use gloves to get out the chip tray, carefully dump it and then top it off and put it back in.  I wish I had a chip loader thing on the side...

    I've been changing out the woodchips every hour b.c. they keep turning to ash which I read was bad.  And I assume this a problem.   What kind of wood are you using?  Do your chips turn to ash within an hour at 225?   Thanks for your reply!

    Meat Temp

    Greetings all!  I'm having some issues and hoping to get some help from the community.  I have a masterbuilt 30" (looks like a mini fridge) smoker.   Currently trying to smoke a pork butt.   I brined it in water, salt, and sugar (nothing fancy). Used a dry rub which I got out of a book on...
