I think I might do hickory mixed with pecan...that sounds like a good mix.
Do you guys inject yours before cooking?

This was smoked salmon I made back on July 4th, I made a 2.5 lb fillet and had to freeze some of it because I made so much

It was amazing, . But half of it was gone in about 15 minutes between 3 of us

Good flavor, it's what's worked best for me. I use oak hardwood lump charcoal and have used mesquite and hickory smoking chips as well, cherry has just been my preferred for smoke and flavor, plus it smells AMAZING

Woke up early to smoke some ribs on Sunday morning and came out to find that the smoker's control panel is non-responsive. Now I get to wait for Masterbuilt to send me a new one.

This is some what a common problem with Masterbuilt and one of the reason I decided to get a charcoal grill. Nothing worse than getting ready to smoke a bunch of meat for guests just to found out your electric smoker isn't working.

By the way I smoked some baby back ribs with cherry wood on the Weber Smokey Mountain for the first time this weekend and I know see why charcoal is better than electric. Nicer bark, better smokey flavor.

Yeah, they're like $30 though so I might just keep a spare around just in case. The flip side is that I don't have to do anything to maintain temp for hours on end for cooking.

I'm so glad that I stuck with charcoal and didn't make the switch to electric. There's just no comparison with flavor

How hard is it to control the temp over time with the charcoal smokers?
#511

I am not sure about all charcoal smokers but the Weber Smokey Mountain does a great job keep steady temps after you have it seasoned properly (usually takes 1/2 dozen of good smokes). One of the reason I didn't want to go charcoal in the beginning is because i though i will have to set there and baby sit the smoker the whole time but it turns out the WSM can go hours and temp won't move more then a few degrees.
Again the masterbuilt isn't a bad smoker for someone that wants to smoke meat without too much work but it does have it flaws with electronics and temperature differences between left and right side.

Yeah, if it turns out that this thing is done for, I'm going to upgrade to a pellet smoker instead.

I've heard mixed reviews on pellet smokers
#516

Same here. I think the only reason people choose pellet smokers is again because they are easy to use just like electric smokers. I've never had anything that was done on a pellet smoker but I would think it won't be the same as charcoal because of the reviews i've read.

Nothing will be the same as charcoal, we had that discussion early on in this thread

Not saying you don't get smokey flavor from electric/pellet just saying it's not the same

Again, I'm after a combination of good flavor and ease of use. Electric and electronic control is ideal for me over absolute flavor.
