Smokey Delights: My Electric Smoker Journey
Picture this: it's a beautiful day, and there's nothing more I dream of than wowing my loved ones with a spread of succulent, perfectly smoked ribs. The scent of barbecue filling the air, the tender juicy cuts that just fall off the bone... that's the dream, right? Well, that was me on the day I proudly brought home my very first electric smoker.
In preparation, I delved deep into research, scavenging every tip I could find to ensure my smoked delicacies would be the talk of the town. And that's when one particular piece of advice seemed to come up time and time again—'Soak your wood chips.' "Ah, that's the secret!" I thought. So, without further ado, I soaked my chosen chips in water overnight, picturing a grand feast the following day.
But as I watched my smoker intently, something seemed amiss. It wasn't the wispy trails of aromatic smoke I had envisioned that emerged, but steam—loads of it! In that moment of surprise, my well-laid plans seemed to simmer away with the steam...
| Pros | Prevent burning, produce steam for more moisture |
|---|---|
| Cons | Compromise the quality of smoke, longer to start smoking |
