Electric smokers are cooking devices that use electricity to generate heat and smoke for food preparation. They are designed to provide a controlled environment for smoking meats, fish, and vegetables, making it easier for users to achieve consistent results. Unlike traditional smokers, electric smokers do not require charcoal or wood, simplifying the smoking process. These smokers typically feature adjustable temperature settings and built-in thermometers, allowing for precise cooking. Many models come with a wood chip tray, where users can add wood chips to create smoke flavor. Electric smokers are popular among both beginners and experienced cooks for their convenience and ease of use.
