An electric smoker makes the task of smoking meat look like a walk in the park sans the harmful effects of gas or charcoal smokers. A high-end electric smoker pretty much automates the entire process as it lets you set a timer and certain temperature.
There are both advantages and disadvantages of electric smokers as compared to charcoal ones. Let’s start with the disadvantage, the smoky flavor that comes in meat, pork ribs and turkey smoked on charcoal is difficult to achieve in electric ones, because it’s the gases and charcoal that give it the unique smoky taste although high-end smokers replicate this flavor pretty closely. But fish, bacon, and steaks are excellent when smoked on electric smokers. Find out more here
