Hey all. I have a standard offset stick burner which I love. But I don't exactly have the time to do all day 14hr smokes anymore. I have started using the approach of 5-6 hours starting on the smoker which is enough time for the smoke to penetrate, then wrap and finish in the oven for another 5 hours or so. Works fine and allows me to smoke more often since it's less of a commitment.

The problem is my house reeks of bbq afterwards which the wife does not appreciate lol. I'm thinking of buying a cheap electric smoker to basically serve the same purpose as the oven but outdoors. Has anyone used these before? Wondering how reliable they can hold a low temp (200-250). Thanks!
 
Works great. An mes40 with an auber pid is the way to go. It'll hold extremely tight temperature tolerances.
