Hi-
I'm thinking of buying a smoker. I'm considering the electric Brinkman
Gourmet because 1) It's $60 at Lowes, and 2) I rather not deal with
firetending if I can avoid it at this stage of the game.

Several water smoker threads discuss problems getting the smoker hot
enough. These threads seem to be discussing the charcoal units, but I
thought I'd double check that the heating unit in the electric unit can
provide adequate heat. (I'm not worried about overheating. I'm
thinking of slapping together a control box with a rheostat so I can
crank things back if needed.)

Thanks in advance for any other insights on the Electric Brinkman
Gourmet you might share.
