Yeah, there's electric, pellet, charcoal,... i saw an Oklahoma Joes at HD or Lowes the other day, but the reviews are mixed. Figured Lien or Madwi would know what's good.

Ok, I'll hang up and take the answer off line.

Screw working with wood. You get way more smoke generation with pellets and don't have to deal with flare-ups. Any questions, just let me know. Here's a list of everything i have and use.

Smoker:

Pellet tray (seriously a godsend)

Pellets which burn clean and slow

Good thermometer set

Traeger pellets are great. I've got a Traeger smoker that works wonderfully. The only down side to mine is that it's hard to get the pellets out if you want to switch flavors. My fiancee's oldest boy has a Traeger with bluetooth and it has a little door that you can open and dump the pellets out.

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys... they're a huge help! Hopefully I'll be posting smoked meat pics like the rest of you by July!

Do it up! Start with cheap stuff. Boston butt / pork shoulder. St Louis ribs if theyre on sale.

Cool proof methods for ribs is the 3 2 1 method.

Set smoker to 250f. Remove silverskin from back of ribs. Slather entire rack with mustard. It's a binder for rubs. You won't taste the mustard at all. Throw some BBQ seasoning on the rack.

Toss rack in smoker for 3 hrs. Take them out, drizzle 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar over ribs and wrap in tin foil. Throw back in smoker for 2 hrs. Pull out again and baste ribs with sauce of your choice. Toss back in smoker for 1 hr.

This will result in ribs that are guaranteed tk fall off the bone with immense juicy flavor. They're a bit to soft for my pallet and don't acquire much bark, but everyday people absolutly love them.

Update: I have this one currently ordered: Masterbuilt MB20070421 30-inch Digital Electric Smoker, Black ... but the delivery estimate is for the end of this month.

However, Amazon dropped the price over the past few weeks from 250 to 200 clams, so...

Oh well, maybe I'll be awash is smoked goodies by this Labor Day! Can't wait to try Lein's rib suggestion!!
