    Tips from the experience Rib smokers, please

    Guidance

    I am looking at smokers for personal use and business.  I own a bar and wanted to introduce smoked meats to my menu.  I am leaning to an electric smoker for ease of use but also have a natural gas line available in the area where I intend to put my smoker. My main concern is taste.  Can an...
