Old Smokey Electric Smoker

I got one of these from Academy last year for $90, it was a floor model and had a dent, so I got a good deal. At first I didn't think much of it, I was going to cut a hole in it and use a secondary smoke source for low heat smoking, like my hams and sausages.

However this thing has turned into my primary BBQ tool. Since it is a closed system you only use a handful of chips and it smokes all day. Some people said it didn't produce a good bark, very wrong, I get a beautiful crust on ribs, Boston butts and brisket.

I likely would not have bought it at full price $150-$200 and I would have missed out. The heating element is just like an electric flying pan, so you can remove it when you are finished. I have added a thermometer and 2 extra racks for making jerky. It is aluminum and easy to clean.
