Nothen better than a real burn and cold beer on a hot afternoon, burning pellets just wouldn't be the same.

Close enough to smell it and poke it. And a good drip sweat ain't so bad either.

Id rather sit in the AC while my electric smoker than burns wood chips cooks my meat at a constant temp and doesn't require constant attention.

I'm going to rig my smoker up with one of those electric fan temp controller systems, they then require a lot less attention, just need to keep it loaded with wood. Looking at the Flame Boss.

Stick burners require lots of silver bullets!

I built my own with a PID controller and some powerful larger computer fans for about $90, IIRC. Works great, keeps temp on my 350 gal propane tank offset smoker within 5 degrees of set temp.

Love my offset smoker, cooked 5 pork shoulders in it two weeks ago.
There is something really enjoyable (most of the times) with tending to your smoker while its cooking, the smell, some cold beer or ice tea and you're good to go up

And once you are familiar with your smoker and know how it runs, tending to it is more fun than work. For me it's as easy as adding a few splits every hour or hour and a half.

Interesting, I don't think I'm smart enough to do that. I would like to see some pics how you did that. The Flame Boss looks pretty slick with its wifi app. The fan set up is more for egg smokers, I have not seen one rigged on an offset smoker like mine.

I'll get some pics for you and post them up as soon as I can. It really isn't hard to assemble and wire, the trickiest part is adjusting/tuning the PID controller. The PID does have an autotune feature that got it pretty close but it still required some fine tuning.

My vertical smoker is as easy as setting it to what temp I want it, and adding wood. Other than that I sit and wait for my wireless meat thermometer to tell me when to go wrap my brisket in butcher paper during the stall. Normally i'll get my propane smoker going early in day, then invite everyone over later when its almost done, then I light up my ol charcoal grill and grill up burgers, sausage, and boudain for the kids.
