Food smokers?

[ant]

I've been poking around on the web for electric food smokers. These were
rife in the US years ago, and make it really easy to control the smoke. but
all I could find was this tiny little Anuka thing, and some huge industrial
things like cupboards.
A good smoker is tall and thin, like a chimney, with the element at the
bottom, so you can put various things on the shelves.

anyone found a useful electric home smoker here in Australia?

nice site. But they're not electric, they're charcoal, and are a pain to get
going and control through the smoking. A bit like hibachi bbqs, but more
annoying!

"A friend won an electric grill in a raffle a few years ago. She's never
used it and I think it's the lead that spooks her. Why on earth would you
want your barby spot dictated by the positioning of a power point? it's not
only unnatural, it's un-Australian."

Smoked meats in Australia contain Nitrites. Many people are allergic to
nitrites, including some in my family. They haven't had bacon or anything
smoked in years.

Yep, it's good. But with a proper smoker, you can do a large amount of meat
in one go. Also you can vary the woods used adn other things. It surprises
me it's so hard (ie impossible) to get these here for home use. They're
common in the US where home smoking is quite a hobby.

This is not smoking, but near enough to it........

Not what you want, I know, but I have smoked some quite large portions of
fish and meat in a Webber Kettle,
the trick is to partially close the lower air intake , and make all your
adjustments on the upper vent, fairly easy to add extra charcoal and smoking
wood via the side grill bars with the lid off for a few seconds , just make
sure that the items being smoked do not cover your access to them.
A large chicken done this way takes about 2 and a half hours , but the
flavour makes it worthwhile .

I might have to resort to a kettle style BBQ, but had hoped we finally had
proper smokers here now. But we don't! It's very annoying. teh nice thing
about a smoker, is that the food smokes, rather than cooks. It's a whole
different process. Also, you can do lots of stuff in one go.

The tall black thing is your classic home smoker, but the yanks have them
with an element in the very bottom, and you arrnage your wood chips over it.
You can set the thermostat, much like an electric frypan. above it, you fill
a dish (like a gold pan) with water. Then there is a series of wire shelves
going up the smoker, on which you put your chickens, brisket, bits of bacon,
fish, and you close it up (there are little sliding doors to enable you to
get at all bits of it) and leave it go.

the one on the site is a charcoal one. you have to get it going, and then
worry about heat vs smoke etc.

The green egg one is a bit fancy, but every time you open it you'll lose all
your smoke. And it's charcoal, again.
