re: Looking for tips for someone new to using an electric smoker

One of the hardest things on an electric smoker is fighting the urge to keep wanting to fill the tray with chips to often and regardless what a lot say on this board, it produces plenty of smoke on its own. I'm sure I'm gonna get blasted for this but there is no need to add an Amaze pellet contraption.

This is true unless you want to put a brisket or another long smoke time meat in shortly before you go to sleep at night. I agree that adding chips to the tray every hour or so is not a big deal and it produces plenty smoke, but if you want to hit the rack a couple of hours in, a pellet tray might be a good idea.
