Product Information

Vertical electric smokers are the same shape, size, and every bit as straightforward as propane smokers, but without the hassle of dealing with propane (namely, running out of it). The size lets you cook just about everything you would on a mid-sized barrel grill or smoker, and a glass window in the door is a nice touch that allows you to keep an eye on things without having to open it up and lose heat. You can control the temperature of the grill using WiFi and a connected device, which makes for truly hands-off cooking. Though, we did have some trouble connecting when the grill was placed relatively far from the router. Some smoker box pans have holes in the bottom. While holes or vents are important on the sides or top of the box to let the smoke out, holes in the bottom can let ash escape and cause the wood chips or pellets to catch fire, which can greatly lessen your smoking time. Lid Author's note: Traeger's newly overhauled Timberline series is now available. It's a new design for Traeger, and we haven't tried it yet, but if you're looking for a more serious investment, it is worth a look. Sample wood chips or pellets: High-end barbecue smoker boxes sometimes include samples of different types of pellets or wood chips for you to try.

Weber's Original Kettle Grill has a tried and true design that grills perfectly, handles light-duty smoking, lasts years, and doesn't break the bank. The easiest smoker to use is an electric smoker, followed by a propane or pellet smoker. Each of these smokers maintains temperature automatically, so as long as you have your fuel in place (wood chips, propane, or pellets, respectively), you don't have to do much of anything at all. Because of how simple they are, they can be used with almost any gas grill, and can even be used with charcoal grills too.

Choose a smoker box with an ideal temperature control mechanism. You should be able to adjust the heat levels as appropriate.

It’s a large box, which means that its wood chip capacity is excellent at three cups. This doesn’t just mean that you don’t have to replenish the fuel supply as much, but it also means that your smoking power output is far better.If you find the smoking chips burned through, though, you can just open it, remove the smoker box with full heat-resistant tongs, and replenish it. Factors to Consider When Using A Smoker Box A word of warning. Unlike the ugly drum smoker or the flower pot smoker, this is a complicated build that requires specialist tools, skills, and a fair bit of time. What I really like about this one is its smoking potential. Its size means that its smoke output is extremely impressive, and surpasses most of the other boxes on this list.

The smoker box should support the wood chips you intend to use. Unlike softwood, hardwood tends to burn slowly, hence ideal for long smoking sessions. Disposable smoker box — Used only once. It’s made of aluminum foil. You can even make it yourself with foil pans and aluminum foil lids with holes. These boxes use wood chips and should be placed straight over the burners. Cave Tools have been making high quality, specialist grilling equipment for years, so it stands to reason that this beauty sits at the top of my list.When you are buying your drum, make sure it hasn’t been treated with an epoxy coating to prevent rust. The epoxy will not react well to being heated up, and the last thing you want is to be smoking your meat in toxic fumes. Wearing heatproof gloves and using tongs, retrieve the smoker box and set it down on a fire-proof surface. (The grate works if there’s room.) Open the lid and refill with chips. Close the lid and, again with the tongs, return the box to its position over the coals or burner.

The most common placement for the smoker box is underneath the food, so it gets the dripping fat, which means you have to clean it after you’re done smoking. If all you want your pellet grill to do is smoke and grill (they all max out at around 500 degrees Fahrenheit, so you won't necessarily pull off any high-heat searing), Traeger's is the one that's built the best and made to last the longest, which is why we think it's worth spending a little extra.For a gas grill, this means turning one burner all the way up. For charcoal, open up the vents to let in as much oxygen as possible. Should You Soak Your Wood Chips? Your box should be big enough to fit a good amount of wood chips, or you’ll have to refill often, especially when smoking bigger foods.
