Water smokers cook meat slowly, keeping it moist and flavorful. One of the easiest ways to slow cook food is with a propane smoker. While a smoking purist may turn up their nose at the mere mention of cooking with gas, a propane smoker is a good option for smoking meat in your backyard.
The best thing about a propane smoker is that you can easily control the heat. This is a big benefit if you want to enjoy smoking meat without the hassle of babysitting it all day. In contrast, a charcoal water smoker requires continual oversight.
Another advantage of using a propane smoker is that propane is readily available and can be taken anywhere. Because of this mobility, they can be taken to the beach or on a camping trip. Additional tanks can be purchased almost anywhere and will also fit your propane grill.
Most propane smokers are tall steel containers. They contain a heating element, similar to a propane grill and a water pan. Soaked wood chips can be used to add additional flavor to the meat. The combination of smoke and steam results in tender smoked meats. Propane smokers generally come with several racks that hold multiple pieces of meat. The large door make it easy to check on the meat, add wood chips and water.
Propane smokers are a little more expensive than other types of water smokers. The price will usually vary depending upon the size and quality of the smoker. You can expect to to pay anywhere from $150 – $400 for a decent propane smoker.
If you want to enjoy smoking food and don’t care about watching it all day, then a propane smoker is a good choice. The ease of use and consistent results of smoking food with propane make this an obvious choice. Best of luck and happy smoking!
