Hi, I like to use a smoker and I have a few suggestions. I highly recommend that you use an electric smoker with adjustable controls. I used to have a digital smoker, however, I lost more sight and could no longer use the digital settings. I bought my adjustable smoker at a local Ace hardware store. It has a dial that controls the heat settings. This allows me to place a bump dot at low, medium, and high. You can also find them at Sportsman warehouse Academy Sports, and maybe Bass Pro Shops. My smoker is approximately three feet tall and 18 inches wide. It has a locking door. If you can find one, I recommend a smoker that has a loading tube on the side that allows you to load chips during the cooking without opening the door. Unfortunitely, my unit does not have this feature. As for the chips, they can also be purchased from the places mentioned above as well as from Lowes home improvements stores. I really like using misquette chips when cooking chicken. Apple wood chips also work very well with fowl. When smoking pork or beef, I like to use hickory chips. If you have any other questions, you can contact me at [email protected]. Have a Blessed day.

Hi all, I am looking for some advice on purchasing and using a smoker. We catch some fish here during the summer and I thought smoking it might be a good idea. What should I look for in a smoker? What should I avoid in a smoker? Where is a good source to get smokers, and the various woods? Finally, do you have any tips and techniques to share? Recipes? Thanks so much, Dixie @-> ~ <-@ _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
