Propane versus Electric?
 

After living with my Weber Smokey Mountain for the last two years I've
decided, in the peri-geezer phase of life to get something easier. I just
spent an hour cleaning the Weber and getting it started for two baby back
ribs.

Have any gone to gas or electric and have recommendations? Have any used the
electric Masterbuilt or the propane Great Outdoors Smoky Mountain?

Thanks for any thoughts.

Forget electrics, not enough power. The GOSM works well.

I have an electric non insulated smoker and it sucks. An insulated electric
smoker, I would consider ideal, and they don't use much power.

My thoughts are -

You have a bunch of hair-brained ideas that you will never attempt nor
complete. Your ideas will live on in infamy.

Which actually isn't to bad, all things considered. We will refer to
your techniques often.

Little Boy,

Try to respond to my reasonable question, rather than glorifying yourself
with you comments.

Again, if you were going to not use charcoal, and you wanted to cook low
over wood, what would be your choice?

Once again I am gonna hear some shit. Oh well.

I have had charcoal, gas and electric smokers. Loaned out my last gas
one and never got it back. Because I had just got the electric and,
well...

I now only have an electric. It IS insolated. It is made by Smoke
Mountain and I love it.

2 things to know up front. You will NOT get a smoke ring. The flavor
will be there. But no ring. Also, you will be limited as to how much
meat you can fit into it. But other wise, it does a very good job with
little effort.

I have come to the point where I do not wish to tend a fire all day,
but I still want good tasty Q. For ME and the ppl I cook for, this
works great. You still have to pay enough attention to your cook so
that things turn out right and so that you still feel like you are
doing somthing :)

Easy to maintain temps.

Nuf said.

Do you have the narrow or wider GOSM? How many pounds of a 20lb tank of
propane does it use in 5 hours @ 250F. I know this depends on outside
temp. Let's assume 50F or so.

Thanks,

I have the wide. It will run all night for a brisket and use about a
third of a tank. Never timed it, but 25 to 30 hours is possible on a
tank.

I like my Alto Shaam. Seems to use little juice, and good for cold smoking.
Amazing temp control. Plenty of room in there - a dozen full racks of spare
ribs (I have 4 shelves). A bit spendy, though!

It depends. What am I cooking? What are my other options for that day?
What rub am I using? Has the meat been marinated properly overnight in
my garage? Did the squirrels find it and nibble away at a snack?
See, lot's of questions to be answered first.
