I prefer charcoal. Gas is ok but the food doesn't have that charcoal taste.

Charcoal or Gas?
- Thread starter Blake Bowden

Next time, try filtering the gas through the charcoal. This may help alleviate the odor of the gas, thus removing your embarrassment. You may also try adjusting the regulator to reduce volume flow to eliminate noise factor.

I was at the mall today and a young man was selling pellet smokers. I looked them over and they are interesting.
The problem I had with my old smoker was keeping a constant temperature. I sat in the sun watching the smoker while everyone else had a good time.
This machine has a hopper in which you load the wood pellets, set the temperature you want to cook at and you are good to go. Seems like a good thing to me.

I've seen those before, but if I remember correctly they were a bit steep price-wise.

Oh yeah. About $1K. They will break it into "three easy payments". It would be nice to have but a little too rich for my blood right now.

No doubt. I guess I will stick with what I have until my ship full of money comes in.

I gave up my smoker when I moved to this apartment in the city. I think I am going to get a electric box smoker.

If anyone is interested I started a group on Facebook called "Solomon's Smokers". It is s group for Masons interested in smoking meat and sharing photos and recipes. If you are interested send me a message and I will add you.

Bro. Hosler,
Don't know how to smoke, nor have a Facebook page. My parents do have an electric smoker. How can I learn to smoke some meat? My mom has done pork ribs in the oven in a bag with BBQ sauce. And we have done a few things on the electric smoker but i would love to learn more.

I learned by watching the TV show BBQ University on PBS. The host, Steven Reichlen, also has a book called "The BBQ bible". That book is a big help. I also read a lot about it on the internet and I watch this web series on Youtube from a group called The BBQ pit boys.
I think though the best way to learn after doing your research is just do it. The more you smoke the more you learn
