If you are thinking about getting a wood smoker, you should consider the benefits of a portable BBQ wood smoker as opposed to a standard BBQ smoker. Portable wood smokers use a propane or natural gas source to supply heat and smoke to the meat while it cooks in an enclosed structure, or “smoker.” Most people refer to portable smokers as barbecue machines or smokers. They have several advantages over traditional style barbeque pits.
The most obvious advantage to using a portable smoker is that you can cook more ribs, briskets, and chicken with less fuel. The average wood smoker uses one to two pounds of wood for each pound of meat. The NWB or Net Weigh Basket is capable of packing 20 pounds of BBQ wood smoked meat in open airbags for up to forty hours. It’s an excellent alternative to accurately packing dry bags to the desired weight from twenty to sixty pounds. An additional fifty pounds in the “bulk” setting will allow for eight to twelve hickory-smoked briskets or chickens with more of a smoky taste.
BBQ smoker costs
A wood smoker is less expensive to use than charcoal when it comes to cost per pound. Charcoal has to be replaced frequently and is expensive to buy. Portable wood smokers don’t require any special clean up or disposal of used wood. You just empty the cooking chamber and load the wood into the smoker.
Some wood smokers use a metal rack to maintain the temperature so your food will not stick to the sides. Others have removable racks that can be pulled out for use on the barbecue. Most of them fit inside the grill and some are fit inside the oven. The most popular type of wood smoker uses newspaper to hold wet wood in place and releases this water when the wood is burned. This process produces smoke that is lighter than smoke produced with charcoal.
Sweet Smoke
Wood smokers produce hot, aromatic smoke that will draw the attention of your guests. They come in many different styles and can be purchased in portable, permanent, or combo models. These smokers have many features including adjustable racks and thermometers. Many of them also have self-cleaning filters, which are especially important in the bathroom.
Most wood smokers are made of stainless steel to keep the outside of the product free from any filth and to keep it looking its best. They come in various sizes and price ranges. They are an excellent addition to any kitchen or outdoor patio. The most popular brand of a wood smoker is the Weber 721001 Smokey Mountain Cooker 18-Inch, Charcoal Smoker. Weber makes some of the best quality grills on the market.
