But that just makes it all the more critical to make sure that you\u2019re picking the right one.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1) Do You Really Want One?<\/h2>\n<p>A lot of people swear by their electric smokers, but others will fervently argue that they produce inferior tastes. You might not have an opinion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Whether an electric smoker is right for you is going to depend largely on your home situation.<\/strong> Most people agree that using wood or charcoal based fuel is usually the best for flavor, and for ease of use propane can easily meat electric.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this and because electric smokers aren\u2019t really any cheaper than any other smokers on the market, the determining factor for most people will be the space that they\u2019re in.<\/p>\n<p>If you live in an apartment or anywhere else where you might not want to be seen putting a lot of smoke in the air, or if you need a compact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.totallysmokin.com\/can-electric-smokers-be-used-indoors\/\">indoor smoker an electric<\/a> is probably what you need.<\/p>\n<p>These are the things that electric smokers do best. <strong>They don\u2019t produce a lot of mess while smoking, <\/strong>and they can fit in relatively compact spaces.<\/p>\n<p>The other advantage of an electric smoker is that the only fuel you need is wood chips. This is the big advantage that electric has over propane, as for some people continuously buying more propane for their smoker can feel like a lot of money.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, electric smokers aren\u2019t particularly portable. Not only do they need a power source, meaning that you can\u2019t really take them away from civilization, but they can also easily be damaged by bad weather.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Electric smokers are definitely meant for indoor use. <\/strong>That\u2019s something that you are committing to when you choose to buy one.<\/p>\n<p>However, the food they make is still absolutely delicious. Deciding to buy an electric smoker is less settling and more like making a choice based on your own situation.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2) Budget<\/h2>\n<p>This is maybe the most obvious thing that you need to give attention to, since it\u2019s the one that will have the most immediate effect on your life even before you get the smoker.<\/p>\n<p>When I was a missionary in Japan, there was an older fellow who\u2019s job it was to distribute funds to missionaries for things like furniture or appliances.<\/p>\n<p>He would always tell us, \u201c<strong>Don\u2019t get the most expensive thing, but don\u2019t get the cheapest one either<\/strong>.\u201d I think that applies to electric smokers too. If you try to get the cheapest electric smoker you\u2019ll just be spending a lot of money on trash.<\/p>\n<p>I wouldn\u2019t buy anything that cost less than 200$ when it comes to electric smokers. If you have the budget for more than that then go for it, but I think 200$ is probably the minimum you can spend and still get a quality product.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"32456579 L\" class=\"ezlazyload wp-image-2880\" width=\"294\" height=\"197\" title=\"How to Choose an Electric Smoker.

It\u2019s also even more important than you think, because the size of your electric smoker will determine the number of people you can smoke for.<\/p>\n<p>That means that you need to make the decision right now of how this smoker is going to be use. If you\u2019re going to use it for big parties, you\u2019ll need to get a big smoker. <strong>If you\u2019re just going to use it for family meals, you probably only need a smaller one.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But what does a big electric smoker look like? Electric smokers tend to differentiate themselves by height rather than volume, but according to the Master built website their 30 inch smoker can fit two turkeys, which is probably enough for about 20 people.<\/p>\n<p>30 inches is on the smaller side, but 30 inches are probably as much space as you could ever want in a domestic setting.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to check the math on that, <strong>most electric smokers put their dimensions up with the rest of their stats. <\/strong>You can easily multiply them up to get the volume of the machine as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>If it helps, the average 11 pound Turkey is about 290 square inches. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vcalc.com\/wiki\/KurtHeckman\/Volume+of+a+Turkey\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.vcalc.com\/wiki\/KurtHeckman\/Volume+of+a+Turkey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re considering buying a smoker for commercial use you might want to get something significantly larger. Even if you don\u2019t expect to be selling a lot of smoked foods now, it\u2019s fairly common for demand to increase for this stuff fairly quickly once word gets around.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, <strong>a commercial smoker of the same height as a domestic smoker is going to be a lot more expensive<\/strong>, but the extra price is still probably still worth it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4) Features<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve figured out how much space you need for how much money, it\u2019s time to see what extra little toys you can afford on this thing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>One little extra that can be super helpful for beginners is a window into the cooking space. <\/strong>It\u2019s fairly common for people who are just starting out smoking to want to see what\u2019s happening to their meat.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, if there\u2019s no window in the smoker they might open the smoker up to check once every couple of hours.<\/p>\n<p>This is a bad thing! Opening up your smoker let\u2019s out the heat and smoke that is working on the meat! If you have a window, you won\u2019t need to open the door at all.<\/p>\n<p>Another feature that is increasingly common in smoker\u2019s is WiFi or Bluetooth compatability. This allows you to control your smoker from wherever you happen to be in your house.<strong> If this is something that appeals to you then yo might want to look for a smoker that has those features.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whatever you end up picking, you\u2019ll want to know that it can do what you\u2019re asking of it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5) Temperature Control<\/h2>\n<p>Electric smokers can have two different kinds of temperature control: Digital or analog. If you want your smoker to connect to wifi you\u2019ll need to geta digital one, but many people prefer the familiarity of analog.<\/p>\n<p>You already know if you\u2019re one of the people who cares about this. <strong>I would recommend that modern facing Pit Master get a digital smoker, <\/strong>since it integrates well with a lot of the aesthetic and conveniet fittings of the 21st century home.<\/p>\n<p>However, there isn\u2019t really a downside to the analog temperature controls. If that\u2019s what you personally want, it will do just as good a job as any digital controller, although they are far more difficult to use for beginners.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6) Temperature Range<\/h2>\n<p>The temperature range is important because it will determine what you can safely cook using your electric smoker.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A good temperature range is 100 to 400 degrees<\/strong>. 400 degrees is hot enough to fully cook pretty much anything, while 100 is still cool enough that you can do warm smoking for meats like turkey.<\/p>\n<p>If you can find one, a smoker that can go up to 500 degrees can even be pretty useful. That being said, you want to find the highest temperature range that you can afford to make sure that the machine has the most utility that it could have.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7) Thermometer<\/h2>\n<p>Smokers are a little infamous for having the cheapest worst thermometers. If you don\u2019t want to buy a thermometer to replace the one your device comes with, you\u2019ll want to scour reviews to see if the thermometer on your chosen model is both accurate and readable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It is a totally viable option to pick up an external <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Thermapen ONE\" href=\"https:\/\/www.totallysmokin.com\/recommends\/thermapen-one\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">meat thermometer<\/a><\/strong> though. You\u2019ll probably use it for things other than smoking at some point in your life, plus it will probably last you quite a while.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever you choose to do, it\u2019s important that you have a working thermometer for your smoker so that you can figure out when the food has been fully cooked through.<\/p>\n<p>It can be dangerous to have a thermometer that can\u2019t give an accurate temperature reading, especially when working with pork, chicken, or brisket.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"98023840 L\" class=\"ezlazyload wp-image-1982\" title=\"How to Choose an Electric Smoker.

You can\u2019t really use them outside or on the go (not that it would be a good idea to use <em>any <\/em>smoker while you were transporting it) because they need electricity.<\/p>\n<p>However, <strong>There are situations in which you may want to bring your smoker to a friend\u2019s house or to your church\/school.<\/strong> Community events are one of the best parts about smokers!<\/p>\n<p>There are definitely some models a that are better than others when it comes to movability. You probably want a model that at least has wheels so you can move it between your kitchen and dining room if you want to.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-16\" style=\"margin:8px auto;text-align:center;display:block;clear:both\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totallysmokin.com\/recommends\/thermapen-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"ezlazyload aligncenter wp-image-3546 size-medium\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20width=%22300%22%20height=%22242%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Thermoworks Thermapen ONE\" width=\"300\" height=\"242\" ezimgfmt=\"rs rscb22 src ng ngcb22\" data-ezsrc=\"https:\/\/www.totallysmokin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Thermapen-ONE-Intro-300x242.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Other than that, smaller models tend to be easier to load up into a car, and lighter to boot. <strong>If you plan on brining your smoker with you places, you definitely want to look for something that isn\u2019t too heavy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9) Durability<\/h2>\n<p>As was mentioned earlier, electric smokers aren\u2019t really portable. They are pretty easy to damage for a lot of reasons, and for a lot of people this can be a problem.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s usually for the best to try and find a smoker that will last you a while. After all, buying a new one is going to be expensive.<\/p>\n<p>This is the part of the process where you have to do a little bit of sleuthing. <strong>Check reviews for the smoker you\u2019re looking at on Amazon<\/strong> and check to see if people have complained about it breaking down or sustaining a lot of damage in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>Companies don\u2019t tend to advertise the fragility of their products. You need to be your own consumer activacy organization and discover the truth for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Or you may live alone and be very careful about yourself, in which case a delicate smoker might work out alright for you. As with every thing else we\u2019ve talked about, the end decision is up to your own tastes.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10) Safety<\/h2>\n<p>If you have young children or pets you probably want to make sure that you get an electric smoker that can either lock or be placed high enough that kids can\u2019t reach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Electric smokers are exactly the right height for little kids to want to open <\/strong>them up and get the delicious (but very hot and also undercooked) meat inside. If they\u2019re gonna be around while you\u2019re cooking, you need to have a plan to keep them safe.<\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t find a smoker that lock of its own or fits on your counter, you might want to look at either finding an external lock or putting it in an easily locked closet.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever you do, you should definitely keep the safety of your children in mind.<\/p>\n<p>However, <strong>if you don\u2019t have any kids living with you you don\u2019t really need to worry about them so much<\/strong>. As long as you can trust yourself not to do anything stupid you should be fine.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11) Brand<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"794\" alt=\"39560564 L\" class=\"ezlazyload wp-image-2887\" title=\"How to Choose an Electric Smoker.

Certain brands have better reputations among Pit Masters than others, and this might be something you want to take into account when making your decision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Masterbult is the name that gets into lists the most consistently<\/strong>. Masterbult electric smokers tend to be on the higher-tech side, and they come with a lot of useful features that push them over the edge when it comes to quality.<\/p>\n<p>Char Boil has has easily the best analog smokers, and they\u2019re a pretty well trusted name. They\u2019re always a good choice for an old fashioned smoker.<\/p>\n<p>Cuisinart is probably the best budget option. Some of their models cost a little bit less than 200$, which I know goes against my budget statement earlier, but it does have very good reviews and it fits all the other criteria that I can think of. They definitely seem like a fairly trustworthy brand.<\/p>\n<p>As we all know, however, <strong>the term \u201ctrustworthy brand\u201d is an oxymoron<\/strong>. Ask around, check reviews, figure out if the brand makes good on its warranties. You need to hold them accountable because they probably won\u2019t do it themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links.
