Ok so I have been looking at electric smokers for the last month and have a question.. why are they all so small? I have not found one that can hold a full rib rack on a shelf little lone two.
I have decided to build my own and was wondering if there is any important design conciderations to look at.
the smoker will be double walled and insulated, and have 1 element for main heat and a external smoke generator, just have to figure out how to build one that works the way I want.
I am planning on making the inside to hold racks that are 15" deep and 20" wide this will allow plenty of room for two full rib slabs per rack and I am looking at doing 4 to 6 racks.
how much space should there be between racks and how much should you leave between the element and the bottom rack or does it matter much?
and finaly would you incorperate a water pan into a electric smoker build?
any other sugestions are welcome
Steve
