I know. I KNOW!!!!!!.........electric smoker.

Well, I finally got a chance to cook on one this past weekend that I picked up at Cabela's with Cabela's points. I had always been against them until I ate some food off one at a friend's lake house last July 4th weekend. I was pretty surprised at how well the ribs tasted. The cool thing with the electric smoker is you set the temp/time and walk away. The smoker will shut down, so you don't have to be near it to keep the food from over cooking which is perfect for the lake. Anyway, I cooked a boston butt on one this weekend. It wasn't BGE good, but plenty dang good for lake food. I imagine it will get better as I get the inside of it seasoned and learn a little more on trial and error about the wood chips.

Just thought it might be a good option for some of you guys who don't want to drop the money on a BGE. Here is the brand I got:

Lots of good reviews on Cabela's website about them.

I used apple wood chips on this cook. I coated the butt with spicy mustard and pork spice like I have been doing on the BGE. I cooked at 215 for 13 hours. I will probably raise the temp to 225 or 230 as I noticed it wasn't always at 215 during the cook. I didn't get the nice crust on the outside and all the fat didn't cook off like the BGE. I'm hopping the hotter temp will help.

Anyway, just an FYI for you guys wanting another smoker option.

I was against them as well but then I ate some ribs off of my buddies and they were awesome

I've got an old brinkman that I've used for years. Made up some mighty good stuff on that thing.

Moisture finally took its toll & it's startin' to rust out.

Got a new Bradley for Christmas. Still tryin to get the hang of it.

Still want to get an egg someday.

Dude...

Basin, Sandy let me down bass fishing against 7500+ and now the wood smoker. Its gonna take a boss gobbler or two to raise his stock back up.

Kilt one opening weekend. I'll have to throw up a picture. Hopefully I get another or 3 this weekend.

Don't knock the e-smoker or big green sucker carp fishing until you've tried it! I likes running around in a glitter boat chasing those mofos while my e-smoker is running back at the house.

try the ones with wood pucks you add, awesome for sure


Btw, I got a new BGE catalog this week in the mail, kills me I aint got one yet.
