What is a Meat Smoker?
Meat smokers are devices that are utilized to cook raw meat while permeating the meat with a flavor produced from the smoke generated as part of the process. In times past, a meat smoker was often structured as a small building where fires would generate heat and smoke to cure meat hanging from hooks placed strategically throughout the space. During the 20th century, smaller meat smokers were created and sold to many homeowners who wanted to cook and smoke meat for social events around the home. Today, it is possible to purchase a small electric smoker or a gas smoker along with the traditional wood fueled meat smoker.
