Electric vs Gas Smokers

[loadmaster]

Going to get a new smoker soon. Was wondering what the pros and cons are for each type. Manly looking for the one that can control the temp the best. The only thing I have used is a converted fridge with charcoal and chips. Thanks

weber smoky mountain (new 22.5 inch) with computer controlled fan added on. there is a web site devoted to the weber smoky mountain that should be findable with google.

If you are cold smoking stuff that is a different story and "never mind"

I have an electric smoker, also called water smoker. The advantage is, it takes a ton less time than a charcoal smoker. Whoops, I see you were asking about gas. I didn't know they made gas smokers. Anyway, the only way to control the heat with my smoker is to put the top on cockeyed so it lets more outside air in.
