Toxic, I can seem to keep the electric smoke going very long at all. Any suggestions to prolong the obvious?
There are many techniques that can help prolong the smoking process in your electric smoker (At least we have a chance, I feel sorry for those individuals with charcoal smokers). They are as follows in order of success: 1) Standardize on wood chunks instead of wood chips if you haven’t already; these will burn longer in general, and even if they catch on fire, they still smoke longer. 2) Strategically place the wood chucks so that they do not come in contact with the electric heating element. Place a piece of wood on the element and *poof* its gone! 3) Place some additional lava rock or grill rock around and somewhat on top of the electric element to help further distribute the heat. Use this with #2 above. 4) Make a bowl out of aluminum foil and place the wood chips or chunks in the bowl on top of or away from the heating element. Anything between that element and your wood will increase your chances of a longer smoke. 5) Soak the wood chips/chunks in water (I recommend about an hour)
