What exactly is smoking?
For those of you who are new to electric smoking, it is the flavoring of your favorite meats by using gas or wood.
For a while, it was quite common to use smokers with charcoal and wood. Sometimes propane is used depending upon the type of smoker. However, the newest technology of electric smokers has changed the way your foods are smoked. With an electric smoker, charcoal or wood isn’t needed. While many people still do use smokers that require wood or charcoal, electric smokers have started to become the new trend of cooking. More people are opting for the option of using an electric smoker to cook their meats on.
First things first, you need to know how to use your electric smoker before you can get started right?
