With electric and gas you are limited to chips in most cases that dont provide an even smoke and can cause temp spikes.


I have a gas smoker and have no issues. I use chips and can keep a constant temp for 12 hours. Just based on ease of use, I doubt I ever get a charcoal smoker.

Have had a Brinkamn Chest style smoker for a few years now, cant say I have ever experienced a temperature spike, love the ease of use. it is in the 150 range from what i recall. Can fit 3 boston butts easily, set the temp , add wood every 2.5 hours or so, gets one hell of a smoke ring. I am a huge fan.

Also it is pretty efficient on the propane usage.

A WSM is about as easy as you can get. Load with Minion Method insert meat and adjust vent and you dont have to touch it for about 12-14 hours.
