Yes.

hpdrifter · 05-25-2023, 10:08 PM

na, no foul here. if that's what you got, you gotta dance with who brung ya.
The electric one should work better than the propane one I had. It sucked!
It worked fine except the propane heating the wood chips.
The chips would catch fire and burn up real fast. Refill, repeat.

Meat usually turned out good but was just a lot of keeping up to do.

10:15pm smoke is rolling

Not because of the meat. It’s the word “electric” in front of smoker.

That’s why you use water soaked chunks.

Geezy Rider · 05-26-2023, 07:32 AM

I inherited one of those and I like it for the convenience but it doesn’t put out much smoke. Mostly just steam. I prefer my stick burner for the good smoke. Sinner? Not even close, just enjoying the convenience of modern technology.

BlessedVeteran0305 · 05-26-2023, 07:40 AM

No sinning going on that I see, just go with what ya got. If it's easier for you to learn or start out that way so be it. Not everyone can or wants to deal with a stick burner. I prefer whatever I have and is most convenient for the time I have to do it in.

JhuntsAlot · 05-26-2023, 07:55 AM

I am sure a baked brisket can be just as good as a smoked.

Just kidding. I have a pellet smoker and an electric smoker. Its called evolution. Haha

Nah, because then you end up steaming the meat. I had a propane one too, and that was my biggest issue. But it did make good food.

OP, yes you are a sinner. Luckily, we all are, so no sweat!

Gumbo Man · 05-26-2023, 08:11 AM

It’s only a sin if you get caught. Your busted!!

tdwinklr · 05-26-2023, 08:37 AM

People often over-smoke stuff in their smokers and that's all you can taste. Pull that wood off about halfway through and let it finish with low heat.
And yeah, you're a sinner!

smarty, they were water soaked. they dry out and burn!
I put all the chunks in a 5 gallon bucket full of water days before.
Of course, after the first 3 pan fulls burned, the last pans were soaked for only half an hour or so.
I even went so far as to put an expensive needle valve in gas line to be able to turn the flame waaaaaaay down. better, but no banana!
I wasn't born yesterday. That was 25376+ yesterdays.

I gave it away. GAVE being key word.

You are a sinner; however, I can help you repent. All you have to do is give me the brisket.

Why would it be any different than putting a water pan in the smoking chamber?

Well someone said the chips catch fire and burn up too quickly. That’s why I said use chunks. Of course chips are gonna burn up quickly.

I would normally only run the gas enough to get the smoke rolling and then turn it all the way down or even off. I also would usually put the chinks in a pan or cast iron skillet to keep the direct flame off the wood.

Short answer is yes, but I use a pellet grill so I can't judge.

Cut your brisket across the grain instead of with it and it will be even better!

Looks good!

I use a Bradley electric smoker for everything. No one can tell the difference or has ever complained.

Cutting across the grain makes for a better easier chew. Have you ever had a beef fajita cut with the grain versus across it? Even with something as tender as backstrap or beef loin we cut across the grain versus with it.
