Pit Boss Silver Star 2 Series Digital Smoker Expired

Electric smokers are easy, quick, and good enough. It is for convenience. I use my electric smoker much more and more often than I ever do my other options. I can chuck in a pack of thighs and breasts turn a knob, insert a probe and come back 90 minutes later to great smoked chicken. I can put whole chicken or a turkey in and do the same in 4-9 hours, same or less overall effort as tossing in the oven but 1000x better result. Same with any meat. Other then putting in some more wood chips occasionally, that's it. Electric is not as smokey crusty and flavorful for some things but the simplicity gets you using it more and it's still great. In my opinion small poultry has less of a difference, large pork has a bigger difference and I'll still use my non electric offset at times for that.. People claiming electric is for newbies or down grading claiming your not experienced enough for a "real" smoker are full of it.. The major EXPERIENCE of smoking is knowing how to pick the meat, the prep, the spices, the rituals, the sauce, the temperature and timing. That applies across the board regardless of what you are using to actually cook/smoke or even if not smoking and using an oven..... A true wood/charcoal/pellet is icing on the cake if you have the time and/or money. Get an electric smoker and you will enjoy the outcome. Even cheap skinless boneless chicken, cheap store bought kalbasi and sausage, baked beans, and all of the traditions like ribs, brisket, shoulders etc... Toss in some pork ribs (I prefer st louis), follow some basic prep for smoking ribs online, it's 4-6 hours, the last 2 hours throw in some packaged kielbasa, brats, or similar and a pan of baked beans if you have room and have cornbread and South Carolina style sauce standing by and enjoy!!!!
I can't speak for this specific electric smoker.

Maybe not this one, but my Materbuilt, I do use a pellet tray instead of the chip tray,, gets me " that's the best barbecue I've ever had, and doesn't even need any sauce" all the time!

Per the reviews, no.
