The Low Down on BBQ Smokers
There are a number of bbq smoker variations on the market today. They range from charcoal, gas, electric, pellet, and even log-burning models.
Whichever model you choose ultimately depends on the amount of effort you’re willing to put into smoking your meat, and your budget, too. Click here to find your perfect model.
To be honest, most bbq smokers are all comparable in price. This is because there are so much variety and a fair amount of competition. Another important consideration is the size. How many mouths do you need to feed and what kind of outdoor space do you have to accommodate a smoker?
Due to the fact that bbq smokers function in the same way a grill does, they are only designated for outdoor use. Keep these safety measures in mind when it comes to smoking (or grilling) food:
- Clean all the grills of excess grease to prevent a fire hazard
- Regularly test your unit for gas/propane leaks
- Never leave a flaming grill unattended
- Also use remote thermometer to ensure meat is cooked evenly and properly.
Now, let’s get into the nitty, gritty good stuff- some of the best smokers on the market this year.
