I just purchased the Masterbuild portable electric smoker. It appears that with anything you smoke on the racks, the drippings will just drop onto the wood tray, water tray and heating element. My first smoke was a whole chicken and I put it on a small tray with a wire rack inside. Did a great job of keeping the drippings under control.
However, I found that it took quite some time to smoke it and am wondering if the tray blocks a lot of the heat rising from the bottom. Have you had this experience and know of a better solution?
