Lein, that looks amazing. You clearly have a real skill for that.

Dinner was delicious. Ribs in the instapot then sauced with sweet baby rays and put under the broiler till bubbly.

That is some good eaten...

Normally don’t post on this cooking thread... mainly because I don’t cook anything.

However, just made me some fried snickers in my new Air Fryer...

Mmmm... wish you were here...

Anyone have thoughts on a good meat smoker for a beginner? And no Betty, I'm not referring to EW. I mean, we all know he's no beginner!

Thinking about a smoker myself. Keep EW out of this.

That's what I'm trying to do... but Betty always drags him back into everything.

Yeah, there's electric, pellet, charcoal,... i saw an Oklahoma Joes at HD or Lowes the other day, but the reviews are mixed. Figured Lien or Madwi would know what's good.

Ok, I'll hang up and take the answer off line.

I have an electric smoker that uses pellets or woodchips. Really easy to regulate the temps if you dont want to **** with it all day. Toss a load of chips in every hour or so and be on your way.

Looks like I'll go with the Masterbuilt digital smoker for 199$ on Amazon... 6 chickens, yeah, that'll work.

Cant go wrong with that. The windowed door units dont do **** when its filled with smoke and grease spatters on the inside.

Ha ha! But isnt that an indication that it's working correctly?

For the ultimate lazy, get one that has wifi so that you can control it from your phone.

Nothing wrong with an electric smoker. It's what I use. Get one that can be pre-programmed to hold between a swing of 15-25f in either direction. When i started, i got a really heap one that used a dial to control temps and it would swing wildly at times. Also, be sure to get a dual probe thermometer system, a zigzag grid, and pellets. Screw working with wood. You get way more smoke generation with pellets and don't have to deal with flare-ups. Any questions, just let me know. Here's a list of everything i have and use.
