re: Electric Smokers

Its slightly true.. I find I get a better flavor out of the WSM than I ever did out of the electric smoker but that may have more to do with the ability to use wood chunks instead of wood chips. Wood Chips are not very good to use. You cannot use chunks in an electric smoker. With BBQ the constant heat is most important followed by the smoke you use. If I had to start all over again I would have saved my 50 dollars on the electric smoker and got the WSM. Its something that is built to last a long time and is a great product. I would go as far to say that its one of my favorite possessions.
