I have done some smoking with an electric water smoker. It is not insulated so the wind cools it off to fast, but I have made some excellent smoked turkey and chicken.
I have used a charcoal smoker with a fire box on the side it works ok but I have to keep stoking it to keep the heat up and ended up cooking it inside with the electric roaster.
I have been looking for some time at the electric smoker's one at our local sporting goods store and the Cookshack the stainless steel versions are about the same price.
I would like to smoke a whole turkey or possibly 4 chickens at one time. Of course there will be Deer Jerky and other wild game. My friend is into venison summer sausage and regular venison sausage. I will have to get a stuffer sometime but I thought I would start here first.
I am not quite sure what size of a smoker I need. I am planning to purchase a stand at a later date. I also am a big fan of Stainless Steel and not painted. I plan to use the cooker outside under my porch.
I was hoping that you might have some suggestions for a newcomer.
