Re:Anyone needing help - 2009/12/29 15:58
Great! Looks like I found the right person to ask this question. I am rather new to the art of smoking meat and I have started out by building my smoker from a clay flower pot and a hot plate. It works sort of well and I have done a lot of pork shoulders on it. I am looking to buy a smoler that is a bit more versatile, has more space inside, and is more reliable. I don't know what the best option is though. I would like to go either propane, or electric. Are there any clear advantages to either way? I like electric because it seems to give a lot of control over temperature. I have heard that propane is not desireable because a byproduct of propane combustion is water, and that it can cause a sooty deposit on the meat. Is this true?
So please offer some guidance.
Thanks, Jon.
