An electric smoker cooks your food using heat produced by electricity. In essence, they are like an oven that cooks low and slow, with the added advantage of being able to add wood chips so you can get that coveted smoke taste into your food.
Electric smokers are some of the most renowned inventions in the world. Not only are they great at providing a unique subtle flavor to the protein, but they are also reliable and portable to use. The electric smoker comes in various shapes, sizes, and settings; it is almost impossible to pick out one that will fit all of your needs.
The most convenient of the various types of smokers are insulated electric smokers. These devices house a heating element that can maintain temperatures ranging from that required for a cold smoke all the way up to 135 °C (275 °F) with little to no intervention from the user. Although wood chunks, pellets, and even in some cases automatically fed wood pucks are used to generate smoke, the amount of flavor obtained is less than traditional wood or charcoal smokers.
There are also vents to help control the temperature, but the bulk of the work is done by the heating elements. Bearing this in mind, you do need to allow some time for the element to heat up before you can start cooking.
