Smokers

There are so many ways to barbecue a chicken, but smoking is the best of all. Moreover, smoking a delicious meal is a matter of pride. But the essential thing to have to pull it off successfully is a really good smoker.  

If you have eaten perfectly smoked meat, there is no going back. After that, you won't look at meat the same way as you did before. Nothing else will satisfy your taste buds again other than another piece of perfectly smoked meat. Unlike grilling or cooking on a stove, smoking cooks the meat well both inside and out. It makes it even more flavourful and retains the juiciness of the meat. This article will tell you everything you need to know about smokers. Having a better understanding of them will help you make better choices when you are shopping for them.   

Four best smoker grills that you can buy 

There are a few things you need to get right in order to get the best taste out of smoked meat. Firstly, the meat itself should be tender. Then focus on perfecting the marinades and rubs. They do play a vital role in the final taste of the meat. But one thing most people overlook is the quality of the smoker. Meat smoked using a gas smoker and another one prepared using charcoal are not going to taste the same. Here is a list of the four best smoker grills from different categories, including charcoal, pellet, electric, and propane smokers.  

Dyna-Glo vertical BBQ smoker 

This is a quite large smoker that has six cooking grates. You can cook up to twenty hundred and fifty pounds of food using this at the same time. In its large body, there are six steel shelves for smoking the food. On each shelf, it can support twenty-five pounds. As the ash management system in this is incredibly efficient, it can work uninterrupted for several hours. However, to power this giant, you will need a lot of charcoal. So, if you are not using its full capacity. It can be inefficient when it comes to the cooking time and also fuel consumption.  

Traeger Renegade wood pellet BBQ 

This piece of outdoor cooking equipment is larger than the typical charcoal barbecue but not as large as a full-blown barrel barbecue. Instead of charcoal, this uses wood pellets. The control valves in this smoker are really easy to use and greatly simplify the cooking process. You only have to turn a dial to add more pellets into the chamber. It comes with a small bucket that lets you clear out the ashes. To make things even easier, the digital dial on this lets you control the temperature of the smoke as well. This helps you get the meat with the right amount of doneness.  

Masterbuilt digital electric smoker 

There is no doubt that electric smokers are so much easier to use than pellet or charcoal smokers. This machine also comes with a whole lot of very handy features including a food temperature monitor, automatic smoke control valve, timers, and even a remote control. So, you don't even have to be near to the smoker to use it. You can be lounging on a patio or watching a game while using it. Using the side-loading wood chip system, you can add fuel without turning off the machine or bringing the temperature down.  

Cuisinart vertical propane smoker 

Vertical smokers use smoke much more efficiently than horizontal smokers. The smoke from the burning box moves up through the smoker heating the food on the rack at every level. Propane smokers are similar to gas smokers. But instead of regular cooking gas, such machines use propane as the fuel. The benefit of this is that it allows better control of the amount of smoke and hence you can choose how much smoky flavour you want in the food. The water tray at the bottom ensures that there is enough humidity inside the cooking chamber to prevent the food from becoming too dry.
