Electric meat smoker makes it easy - do some grilling while you're chilling

Smoke some joints -- jerked chicken joints, that is, with a this very easy electric smoker. The Old Smokey Electric Smoker (about $135 on Amazon) keeps your smoked nice and juicy. It's basically a giant bucket with a heating element. Smoke and moisture stay in. It's simple to use and pretty foolproof.

It's just a large, aluminum tub. The heating element sits in the bottom. Above is a rack where a small amount of wood chips creates the smoke. Above that goes a metal bowl that catches the moisture dripping from your meats. There will be a lot of of it. On top that are two racks for your food.

It's large enough to smoke a small turkey or two chickens on one rack, and you can fit full rack of ribs on the other.
