Electric smoker vs 22.5 WSM

[feldon30]

Ok ok. Instead of contemplating any longer, I went ahead and just bought one!

Got the Brinkmann red electric smoker.

I can already see that I should so some of the Brinkmann mods people have done, especially the fiberglass oven seal rope around the lid. It's pretty sad when I can look down thru the gap and see the cherry red burner.

Also need to add a thermo at grate level, and will probably go ahead and add a grate midway between the two grates it comes with so I can put ribs lower in the cooker.

It's curing now.

Bought a rib rack, beer can stand, some chips, some apple cider, apple cider vinegar, wide aluminium foil for the water pan, and a spray bottle to spritz towards the end of the cook.

I'm pretty excited.
