A buddy of mine got an electric smoker

So far, we've tried ribs, sausage, turkey, and chicken in this thing, and it's fantastic. The last batch of ribs was the best I've ever had in my 33 years of life.

I'm planning on trying to make chipotles out of jalapenos with this gadget next.

Does anyone have any more good ideas for using this thing?

The absolute best thing that can be smoked is Eel. It may look wierd, but it is freaking soooo good. It tastes nothing like fish.

Salt it overnight first (a handful of coarse or kosher salt in a pail of water) and smoke it whole.

Can't go wrong try everything from beef jerky to whole fresh hams/ pork loins chicken and all kinds of seafood.
Try orange wood for fish If you can find apple wood you will be the man in the hood. great with ribs and brisket. barbeque all year long and you won't grill again!! But it does take time and If you drink beer like me you may need to attend one those damm meetings.!!

I've had smoked eel before and I agree that it's great. Where did you get the eel Deval?

I usually smoke salmon, but I've done trout, oysters, halibut, and some bacon sides.
I'd like to try doing some cheese.

I have a Big Chief front load that I paid $120 CAD. I used to use a wood box with a hotplate and old oven racks and it worked fine. Make sure you pick the right kind of wood chips for the type of food you're smoking.
I won’t even get into the different brine recipes and how much smoke to use

If your budget can handle it, there's really only one way to go.
www.kamado.com

I have the #7 smoker from them and it is absolutely the best smoker I have ever owned. I routinely smoke Boston Butt (pork) for 15-24 hours on one load of lump and could keep going for probably about 36 hours if there was some reason to do it.

Lump is natural charcoal. No matter what grill you have, try this stuff and you'll never want to use that briquett garbage again.

There's a knock-off company called Big Green Egg that also makes ceramic smokers, but they're a lot small than the Kamado, and besides, they stole the idea!

No relation to the company btw.

Hello fellow Canadian.

You can either buy eel from chinese markets, or buy it from fishermen who catch it in the St. Lawrence.

I personally use a wood burning smoker that I built myself. Its basically an old metal 50 gallon drum with top cut off sitting on a base of bricks. A small tunnel that is 4ft away is where I burn the wood. Always use hardwood - NEVER softwood. I also put a lot of 'green' branches in with leaves because these produce a lot of smoke.

Also, I will burn special woods like apple and cherry near the end to infuse the fish/meat/eel with that extra flavour.

I do this all at my cottage.

The electric ones can be used in your garage and cost around $100. I didn't buy this one, but I can borrow it any time, so I don't need to get one of my own.

Any one ever smoke cheese? The electric one won't do it, since it goes to 140 degrees and can't be altered.
