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.

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.
