Spirit or charcoal smoker?
Submitted by hilly9 on Sat, 2018-11-03 21:08
I want to start smoking some fish which is something I've never done before. Im looking at spending up to a couple of hundred dollars on a smoker. Should i buy a spirit or a charcoal one and what are the pros and cons of each type? Cheers Pete

I have a Hark electric smoker
I have a Hark electric smoker but I have modified it so that I can place wood coals or charcoal in it for the flavour and the PED controller keeps the smoker at a rock solid temp

I use an old charcoal Webber to smoke whatever, just as good as anything else.
