Many, many meats are smoked. It preserves the meat. Back before refrigeration smoking meat was widely used to preserve if, I don't recall that butt cancer was common back then, but I don't know. Don't care to look either. I have an electric smoker that does a fine job, when it works. I need a new one but I'm not buying another one of these pieces of crap.

I really like my Weber Smokey Mountain. Runs on charcoal, but it's not fussy about it. I made ribs on New Year's Day.

That's what I have also. I can load up the coal ring with charcoal and whatever wood I'm going to use and it'll burn for 8 hours +. It's plenty good enough for the little bit of smoking that I do.

I have a Traeger with the wifi. Took me a bit to get a good brisket. 2 things: make sure your temperature probe is properly dialed in (mine wasnt), and get yourself a smoke tube if you like a smokier flavor. Pellet grills are great from an ease standpoint but do not put as much smoke flavor as a stick burner or Big green egg.

I got tired of loading those expensive "Bisquettes" in my Bradley electric smoker and just went with pellets and a tube. SO MUCH CHEAPER!!! If I want to pull out the smoke tube before it's all burned up, I just drop it on my Weber and let it finish there.

It may be the transformer to the control unit (if yours is built that way). If you have one lying around you could try and see if it works. Might be 12v 1.5A but check your old one.
