Old Smokey Electric Smoker Review
I have used the Old Smokey to cook a pork shoulder, chicken, and beef ribs. The shoulder and chicken turned out great, and my wife says this is the best chicken she's ever eaten. The ribs didn't turn out as well because I cooked them way too fast and was in a hurry. Like someone said, the Old Smokey isn't a chef. I purchased it after reading the reviews here on Amazon. A friend of mine has the Big Green Egg, and another friend has an electric smoker which didn't get as good reviews as the Old Smokey. Both of these guys can make great tasting bbq, so I'm starting to think it's more the chef than the equipment. Get to know your equipment and then the rest is whatever meat, rubs, etc you use, and the cook time/temp. The Old Smokey retains all of the smoke since it's sealed, so your neighbors won't be able to smell the wonderful bbq smoke while you are cooking. But then, I think the meat stays more moist. I asked my friend with the Big Green Egg how he keeps the meat moist and he said he has to inject the meat.
I like that it is so simple in design. It was very easy to assemble, although I substituted split washers on the inside, and put the flat washers on the outside. I haven't had to clean it yet, but it seems that it would be easier to clean if the heating element was removable. Evidently this is a very old, tested design and you would do well to buy one of these. Also, I didn't want the investment of a Big Green Egg or even a Smokey Mountain (Weber) until I see if I would really use this. Now that I have one, I'm wondering why I would buy another one at all since this one works so well (so far).
