So I use a cheap propane smoker nothing fancy but have made some great tasting food from it and would love one day to move to a stick burner and maybe BBQ competitions. My question is why do most competitions say no propane smokers allowed but electric is fine? I see a lot of guys on here have electric and it's easier and the "cool" new thing but to me in a competition that would be closer to untraditional and use of a crutch then propane! Sorry, maybe I've completely missed the mark with this if so hopefully someone can help me.
