I had a charcoal water smoker in the past that I used to smoke turkeys in but it rusted out and I threw it away rather than move it to Austin.

This morning I decided to buy an electric smoker - something I could kind of set and forget... I recognize that charcoal gives the best possible flavor, but I believe you can still get some awesome meat with a lot less effort in other ways.

After spending some time poking around http://smokingmeatforums.com/ I decided on a propane model they refer to as the GOSM (Great Outdoors Smoky Mountain). I ended up finding it walmart.com for only $148 and I ordered it a little while ago.

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Outdoor ... r/12429510

I'm really looking forward to smoking some serious pole.... er.... MEAT!

Will update as things progress :)

Got it!!! I'm seasoning it (sprayed it down with oil and putting some hickory smoke through it with no food in it) now. I plan to smoke some turkey legs and drumsticks tomorrow to get a feel for it. If that goes well, I'm thinking about doing a big picnic or butt roast on Sunday to make a shitload of pulled pork that I can bring on the AZ run :D

They left out some little push on lock nut things for the temp gauge so I had to get creative:

Did a test run today with 3 turkey legs and a package of chicken drumsticks. It went really well and the food turned out fantastic (though to be fair I was sheetfaced by the time we ate it).

Tomorrow is the real deal.... I have two 10# boston butts that I'm going to make into pulled pork and bring on the AZ run :D

yeesh.... this smoking thing really takes over your day...

Based on what I've read about cooking time, these pork butts should take about 13.5 hours to do... so I got up at 4am :x, and put them in the smoker at 4:30, and I'm sitting here monitoring the temperature for awhile to make sure it's going to stay under control
