re: Opinions on electric smokers?

I have used one a few times. You do get the flavor and its super easy. But I love when you smoke a brisket or Boston butt and the outer layer gets dark and crispy to the point where it is almost burnt. Its the best part of smoked meat. You chop and mix it in the meat. Don't get this with the electric smoker.

Yes, you can get that with an electric, may have just been the quality of the electric you were using. If you want a crispy chicken skin is where there is an issue because you can't usually get a high temp out of a lot of the electrics. That's solved by popping them in the oven for 30 minutes at the end of the smoke.

I saw a video on Amazon and it looked like they were able to achieve that effect

I get dark and crispy with deep smoke rings just fine with my electric. It's not like the wood or the meat knows what kind of heat source you use.
Or maybe I'm running mine too hot.

Yes you do. I have a cheap brinkmann electric smoker, cost about $100 at the time, when i bought it (about 5 or 6 years ago). If cook brisket and boston butt on their most of the time. If you know how to cook it, then you can get the bark. Just like with a coal/wood smoker.
