Overview

Smoking salmon, jerky and brisket is the job of this front-loading electric cabinet from Smokehouse Products. It has an aluminum outer shell and a stainless steel interior, and it runs on electricity instead of charcoal or gas.

Electric power means no fuel to manage, and the capacity suits home batches of fish and meat. What the listing leaves out is the control range, how many racks are inside and the warranty length, which matters when comparing smokers.

Who it's for

A hobbyist smoking fish and jerky in modest batches near an outlet. Someone who wants temperature control details, or a fuel-burning unit for a deck or campsite, will not find them here.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Electric power, no fuel to burn
  • Aluminum shell, stainless interior
  • Light enough to move
Cons
  • Temperature range not described
  • Warranty term not given
  • Rack count not stated

Performance notes

Electric power means heat comes from an outlet, so there is no flame or fuel to tend while food smokes. Capacity limits how much you can load at once, and crowding the food reduces airflow around it. Temperature control is not described, so results depend on your wood and timing.
